Just heard they are closing down offices for good to cut costs. Dont plan on going back. Starting with smaller locations like Alpharetta, Charlotte, etc.

Wish they close all US offices and move LK and PB to the heart of Allscripts. Opus, that is just the heart of working bees, my bad.
Regarding rebuilding office space to keep employees safe. Don't "worry" (sarcasm here ) the company will be able write that off as capital/business expense.
How about they start cutting unnecessary costs too? I can name one. There is a services VP that flies in from Alpharetta EVERY WEEK to lead a team based in Raleigh. Stays for 4 nights, doesn’t talk to anyone on their team, sits in their office on the phone all day and then leaves. Paying for someone to fly in and stay in a hotel for almost an entire week plus other travel expense has to add up big time.
@zkx+15gKXbkc: it seems like there is a difference though. Offshore workers make LK smile.
PB make it clear early one he was no fan of remote workers. So did other leaders in sales, sales operations, and product development. Many in Alpharetta etc, work from home now anyway, but I would bet these office closures will absolutely be another reason they can justify RIF’s. Just as they used Covid as an unnecessary excuse, so too will they use this.
There will be more and more of this leaving the employees still standing with such anxiety they’ll be scared and paralyzed at the same time. What a disgrace.
Sure there is no reason to keep the remote workers if the whole team become remote. There is no difference to management between an Indian developer and a work from home US remote worker.
My experience with Allscripts is once an office is closed the employees become remote. Allscripts offers little, if any, support once this happens. When a US office is closed they seem to make quick work of identifying the employees that had worked out of that location and adding them to the upcoming RIF lists.
if they did this early on, they could have saved some really good workers
If they spent a fortune to build this disaster of an open office space, then it's symptomatic of the entire problem with this company. I've seen more productive environments in back alleys that transients built out of cardboard boxes.
That is bad. They just spent a fortune to rebuild the open cube work environment. Such a bad planning!
will Alpharetta be relocated? or just closed, layoffs?
How about Lisle IL office?
Actually that's long overdue. Good to see something positive coming out of the China virus pandemic.
Impacted employees in these locations will be relocated/laid off or just work fro home? Please share more details.
