Thread regarding Gainwell Technologies layoffs

The evil that lurks

I'm not a spiritual person, but I do believe in the concept of right/wrong, good/bad, etc.

There is an evil lurks witihin the Gainwell culture. It can be felt on so many levels through the work day. Whether it be interacting with managers or certain individuals who have some state of power or authority. Even when dealing with peers.

It's the toxicity. People taking from others, but giving so little in return unless there's a direct benefit to themselves. People that can't be bothered or respond to others unless they want something in return.

It's been mentioned about intra and inter-departmental gas-lighting, purposely withholding information for the sake of control or to merely sc--w with somone. You would have thought that would have decreased with NTT taking over operations. But on the contrary, it hasn't changed. In fact, the sickness has started to spread to NTT in some aspects. Possibly because so many of those Gainwell managers, are now NTT managers. Or NTT has to follow Gainwell's wants or marching orders.

I've always seen NTT as being the fall guy. Yes, NTT, come manage our operations. But you have to do so in the manner we require or want. If that be the case, then nothing has actually changed. Gainwell is still making the bad choices and calling the shots, but now they have someone to pass the buck on, to divert attention

It's known as lazy management and seems to be the current trend. They only want to be real managers when there is a benefit or cost to themselves.

But here is me calling out all those so-called managers out. We know who is at fault, YOU. Your poor skillsets show when you don't take care of your people, again unless it affects yourself in some manner. But even then, it's about self-preservation.

You don't provide the necessary tools, resources and processes. And if you do provide some tidbit, it's always 2 shades to the wind, in otherwords, poorly implemented, done on the cheap. However you want to say it, it is all the same. As if you lack the experience to fully implement and manage <--- Truth

The company pre- and post- layoffs of 2023 is the difference between night and day. They don’t care about people and treat them like total sh*t. Everyone is overworked, the management doesn’t give you the slightest bit of recognition for jobs well done but Heaven help you if you make the slightest mistake!

@cz This. When no one is getting deserved promotions, when they are training new employees who got hired in making more money, when they get laughed at when showing numbers demonstrating dangerously inappropriate staffing levels- that’s motivation to not give a sh*t.

@17s "Passive aggressive bullying" is the perfect description of the Gainwell workplace. It comes from the top and rolls all the way down as account management won't take a stand and defend their resources. With more than 30 years in the industry, I have never worked in a more toxic, dysfunctional environment.

Toxic is the only word for it. I experienced passive aggressive bullying till I couldn’t take it anymore. I had 3 direct supervisors in one year one sup stating “I just can’t treat adult humans the way they want me to treat them. “ she left!

@e8 I’m not even surprised to see him name dropped. He is the most disrespectful a$$hole I have ever worked with. He treats everyone like they are stupid even though most of the time he doesn’t actually understand what they do. There has definitely been a shift recently and not a good one. I love my team but that upper leadership level is so toxic.

the exact same thing its happening over at Infinite. Things didn't improved, they actually got worst, far worst.

as the @OP mentioned, now Gainwell has someone else to pass the buck. Gainwell upper management continues to mandate ridiculous stuff, and expecting these companies to enact it blindly. Anybody that is not fully aligned with Gainwell's direction its being shown the door, as the recent high profile layoffs clearly show.

Align or be gone.

Some VPs, Squad Leaders, directors, all of them that shown some reluctance over the new direction are no longer here. they were let go, or left by their own choice.

Its only going to get worst, NTT and Infinite are just the beginning of this new phase.

What a mess, I don't see how Gainwell can ever be successful. Mostly all the state accounts were run by competing companies with entrenched leadership in place with their own processes. Lots of infighting and turf building, especially in the Implementation Practice where leaders from each company thought their way was best and no consensus was built on process, etc. The account teams did not always work well with the implementation teams in places where DDIs were going on.... You name it, it was going on. The states couldn't help but pick up on the dysfunction and applied their own pressure. I've been gone for awhile now (yay), but I can't imagine it's gotten any better. I just hope my good friends still there make it out ok.

Not evil just no incentives for delayed gratification/doing the right thing. No different than the culture that emerges in ghettos. Short term incentives rule because there may not be a long term.

If you can accept this believe it or not the situation will be easier to live with.
