Layoffs at Global Payments are Imminent

Layoffs that were expected in June now appear to be slipping into July. My guess is the company is adding more people to the RIF list, which is not exactly surprising given Global Payments track record of recurring workforce reductions and the pressure to deliver the $600 million synergy target tied to the Worldpay deal.

Meanwhile, GPN stock is trading at its lowest level since the TSYS acquisition in 2019 and is down roughly 30% since Cameron Bready became CEO in 2023. Oh and the guy that Cameron put in charge to run the SMB business ($6 BILLION!) who has never run a business in his career? Yes, layoffs are definitely coming.

Remember when Cameron got on stage when he became CEO three years ago and told everyone his goal was to build a "best-in-class" culture? Three years later, many teams are doing the work of two and three people, while bracing for yet another round of cuts and the lack of leadership at the C-suite level is truly shocking.

When is the board going to realize that Cameron isn't fit to run the company? Until then, employees should expect even more uncertainty, more restructuring, and more layoffs. So GPN employees listen up, things are only going to get worse so if you get offered a package next month, be grateful, and RUN as fast as you can.

In the meantime, #BringSloanBack!


CWell greed

not even subtle anymore just straight up cutting staff to post lower paying jobs (lvn vs rn), using vendors to take risk loss, cutting anything social work and replacing with an AI resource handout and most gross of all: eyes only on patients just out of the hospital. More to upcode, test, bill. Poor elderly...easy target. But lets have another townhall and discuss values. karma will eventually follow these strategy team vultures.


FanDuel Layoffs Boost Flutter Entertainment Stock Price

FanDuel implemented organizational changes, resulting in staff layoffs across various departments. The exact number of affected employees is unconfirmed but could be in the hundreds. Roles cut include middle-management positions within both sportsbook and casino operations. Flutter Entertainment's share price surged significantly after the layoff announcement. This action follows similar workforce reductions by other gaming companies that also saw stock bumps.

Graduate Hotel Replaces Laid-Off Workers with Temps

Dozens of service workers at the Graduate Hotel in Palo Alto were suddenly laid off in April. Employees were initially informed that the hotel's ground-floor restaurant would be closing. However, the restaurant soon reopened, staffed by temporary contract workers. Former employees, including kitchen staff, housekeepers, and servers, expressed confusion and anger over their terminations. Workers are now escalating their concerns to the City Council, seeking intervention.

How do I convince leadership to let me go back to my old role?

How do I convince leadership to let me go back to my old role/team instead of laying me off? I have been moved around to so many times in the last few years, I’d really like to go back to what I was doing prior to all the re-org’s. Also, does anyone know if HR will offer a lower position in another are vs. laying someone off? I really don’t want to get laid off (despite all the trolls on this site) and willing to take a lower job.


Anyone else buying the stock?

I know this is for layoffs but just curious if anyone else is buying the stock? I got a few hundred shares this morning because it seems to have reached an all time low. I think we have good products and I can’t figure out why it’s dropped so much. I’m wondering what other people are thinking? Maybe I’m completely wrong and this stock just keeps dropping but I thought Enrique was hired to raise the share price. We lost enough value under Mr. Shock the World.


Mike Lyons gets 70 million while forgoing raises or bonus’s for employees

Mike Lyons gets 70 million in year one while cutting staff, forgoing bonuses or salary increases for many if not all, stating market and company talking points around why they cannot spend money. All while taking 70 million 😂

Incredible leadership. Just who everyone wants to follow!


Channeling Vengeance for the Downsized

Regardless of whether you are currently in the latest round of layoffs or simply anticipating your turn on the chopping block, consider this thread a sanctuary for our shared grievances. Channel your hatred, humiliation, and the injustices inflicted by your dim-witted yet treacherous and repulsive (desi) colleagues, and manifest them as curses here. Together, our concentrated malice will surely invoke cosmic intervention to cleanse.


The Cost of Ignoring Employees

The most alarming number in the Wall Street Journal’s “Best Companies for the Future” ranking isn’t AT&T’s overall rank of 375.

It’s the Talent rank of 390.

The WSJ’s methodology specifically looked at hiring, retention, and employee satisfaction as part of future readiness. In other words, human capital.

For years employees have been saying the same thing, excessive RTO mandates, constant uncertainty, forced relocations, and a lack of flexibility are driving good people out the door.

Leadership ignored it.

Now a respected third-party ranking is essentially saying the same thing. AT&T isn’t being viewed as a future-ready talent organization. It’s being viewed as a company struggling to attract, retain, and develop the workforce it needs for the future.

Even Kevin O’Leary (hardly a champion of employee entitlement) recently warned that companies risk losing their best talent when they become overly rigid about RTO and where work gets done. His point was simple - if you make flexibility a non-starter with RTO, your talent pool shrinks and you will only attract the undesirable bottom quartile of talent nobody else wants.

And that’s exactly what many of us have watched happen… I’ve never seen this many experienced employees leave. At the same time, a strict 5-day RTO policy isn’t a selling point to younger workers who increasingly value flexibility and work-life balance, it’s a detractor and immediate non-starter. Nobody with other options will ever sign up for this prison-like micromanagement.

Talent rank 390 isn’t the cause of the problem. It’s a symptom of this bad policy.

You can mandate badge swipes. You can mandate presence. You can mandate commutes, but what you can’t mandate is that talented people choose to work here, or stay here.

At some point leadership has to ask whether a five-day RTO policy is helping build the future, or helping explain why we’re ranked near the bottom when talent is measured.


Can't do the basics right

Company and management expects excellence but the company can't even pay you correctly or resolve a pay issue within a 6 month time span. And then they tell you you're the problem for trying to solve your own problem since no one will actually help you resolve issues.

The most difficult part about working for this company is dealing with the company itself.


Take your PTO NOW

They have been pushing team members in the most recent all hands meetings to take their PTO and time off. I have never heard such a push for this from leaders. I have been with the company over 7 years now, and there’s never been mention of taking your PTO like this.

So, take your PTO NOW before you lose it to this transition.

Bumping this for important info, the OP is @a2+1ksqvmzt4.


I haven't had a boss in years

I report to someone, but after they flattened the hierarchy and got rid of all the middle managers I ended up reporting directly to the director in my org.

He's not interested in or capable of leading a team. I never see him except during our monthly 1:1 (which is basically just a monthly recap so he can tell his boss what I do).

There's no leadership here at 3M anymore. Just a bunch of disinterested, self-important jagoffs having meetings because they didn't know what else to do. And nobody can get promoted, so it's never to change.


Layoffs have become too normal

I’m an employee who’s been through a few rounds now, and the strange part is how routine it’s started to feel. Once one layoff ends, people don’t really relax, they just start wondering when the next announcement’s coming. Most of us just keep working, keep quiet, and try not to draw attention. Sad.

Los Angeles City Officials Halt Planned Employee Layoffs

Los Angeles city officials expect to avoid layoffs for 70 employees. These positions were slated for elimination in last year's budget. The City Administrative Officer recommended halting the layoff process. This occurs despite a projected $96.8 million budget shortfall for the next fiscal year. The City Council must still formally approve this recommendation.

Very bad layoff packages and requirements

Since Andrew left, and he only led for approximately 4.5 years or so, the treatment of employees has gone down to the gutter. The only period in which employees were treated fairly was during his tenure. Look up the history of UHG leadership and you will see what I’m saying. I was recently laid off after working here for 15 years. They not only offered me 5 weeks of pay, they put very “questionable language” in my layoff package.
Accepting their layoff package is accepting more abuse on the way out.
• If they get sued you should be on their side.
• If you were mistreated and (I’m watering this part down) or if you saw someone being mistreated, by accepting their severance you are saying it never happened.
• If you catch wind of them potentially being sued, you should warn them
• Also they added that you should not expect any payment for any of this! hahahahaha!!!!!!
• And if they call you for help with work after you’ve left, you have 48 hours to get back to them and help. This is teetering on… “fill in the blanks”…. and not even enforceable!
Who do their lawyers think they are? Very thuggish! I asked others that were laid off with me and they had similar language. And one that worked for 3 years only got 2 weeks worth of a paycheck.
This is all provable and true! To those of you still there, this is how they treat you after years of service, that’s if they don’t put you on a CAP or PIP to manage you out like someone said in a post on the UHG link here. They did this recently to my friend who worked in UHC for 25 years!

Feeling less valued over time

I’ve been here long enough to see how decisions get made, and it doesn’t feel great at all. A small circle seems to have most of the influence, while everyone else just waits to see what changes next. I know no company is perfect, but I’d like to be somewhere that treats employees as more than expenses. At this point, I’m thinking it may be time to look around.


Wondering how resignations are handled

I’ve worked here a little over two years and have seen a few people leave, but none of them mentioned getting a better offer to stay. At past jobs, managers sometimes tried to match pay or move people into a different role. I’m not sure if that’s something this place does. Has anyone seen it happen, or is notice usually just accepted?
