Any update on the Company reorganizing? Get rid of Project Management and all the directors, slim HR down and Legal/Compliance C-sinos are not taking games.
Update on furloughed
I am still furloughed any word of if they will lay off? It makes me sick to see the company hire people when we are all still furloughed.
Second Wave of Layoffs
I hear they will be laying off more people. Those who are still furloughed will be let go. Has anyone else heard this?
Does anyone think it’s over?
Still a lot out on furloughs, does anyone think or know that more layoffs are coming? Starting to seem that no one feels safe, the way this has been handled is going to change company culture for a long time.
Coming back
Now that some c-sinos are planing to reopen..but dont be expecting to have the service team there. Vegas is making a list of who to bring back and when....we should be focused on doing this right for the customer rather than letting them down only to... — read more
It’s a good thing!
This has given a dose of reality and a slice of humble pie to some of those who were placed in a position that they did not deserve. Uninspiring fake leaders who are skilled in playing that corporate bs game. When things go wrong they are quick to... — read more

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 2020 Scientific Games Covid-19 Coronavirus Unemployment Draft. and with the First Pick team Finance selects....
Not many new glassdoor reviews yet...
With all the pain and angst being felt right now, I'm a little surprised there isn't an avalanche of negative reviews of SG being added to glassdoor right now. If not, then all those fake-sounding 5-star reviews of "all good", "no cons" will reign... — read more
Why are we still hiring people?
Simple question. The reason for the layoffs was lack of money. So where is the money for the new hires coming from???
Theres a ton more fat to trim.
The current austerity measures implemented are on the conservative side. There is a lot more room to cut.
Diversity and Inclusion
Please God tell me we still have the diversity and inclusion department
Who decides who gets laid off and who stays?
All I see is people with more years and more experience being forced to leave first. How is that fair?
Yesterday was bad
So many people have lost their jobs and their only source of income. I know it was expected, but that doesn't make it any easier on any of us. I'm not even sure we'll all be able to return once things go back to normal. Really hard times are ahead... — read more
Layoffs coming fast
Email sent out today from the Chief Exec of lottery stating “tough decisions need to be made”. But don’t worry, Also stated the company will come out the other side strong. At least they fired a warning shot I suppose.
Coronavirus
Nobody wants to go to a c-sino when there's a virus outbreak. Without cashflow coming in from gaming ops, they're going to need to find a way to somehow make the interest payments on the massive debt load! Layoffs coming soon?

2020 Benefits still a nightmare
Wonder how many s—ers get a job here for maybe a 10% salary bump only to find out they make less now due to the expensive "benefits".
Sudden improvement
Looks like SG has improved by leaps and bounds in the month of november. So many good ratings. Well ofcourse the same usual writing style.
QA in Reno
QA in Reno is going down. I heard 3 people already left in the past 3 months & more wants to quit because of unethical & rude behavior of the new Lead. There are rumors that SG is trying to shutdown QA department in Reno area. Looks like they are... — read more
Positive Vibes
No big layoffs in the last part of the year. Things looking up at SG?
Another set of glowing 5 star ratings
Seems like the same person is pushing those 5-star ratings with the same sort of language. "Nothing to report at this time", "Nothing I could see in this month as a con"
Drop your...laptop....and grab your socks!
Rumors of layoffs happening today. Right on schedule!
For years
They getting rid of the people that knew the products and the clients. Not in a query that can go to anyone in the united state. The thing is the clients don't get good customer service they deserve and most of the CS are not the expert of games... — read more
We need improvements
Scientific Games is a great technology-related company; the mid-leadership level does good jobs as an individual and as a team for itself!! The Down part, one of several, was the mid-level leader is not integrated from the strategically planning nor... — read more
SGMS DOWN!
What a disaster of an Earnings Call yesterday. What "great" leadership where the one studders a lot and the other mispronounces game names. Really makes you realize how our of touch they are with their own products.
Oct-Nov
As usual, end of summer to fall is when the order is passed down to look around for 'savings.' Are you ready?
Lots of "glowing" reviews of SG in glassdoor today
Wow... Six glowing 5-star reviews for SG today (29th May) in Glassdoor... :-) I've never seen such an avalanche of positive reviews like that before... Maybe things magically got better overnight :-)
Annual Raises? Or is it?
Haven't heard any official communication yet about our annual raises, but rumors are circling that it is destined to drop on the 2nd pay cycle in May. Rumors are it will be very very anemic, as usual. The govt stats for the last 12 months of CPI... — read more
Can anyone PLEASE explain what is going on?
Title changes today. You manager lurkers better start explaining what is happening RIGHT NOW. Where are reviews?
More Layoffs?
I just heard today there were more layoffs yesterday - Shuffle people. Does anyone know anything?
Bally vs WMS hating/culture clashing.
Getting really tired of the us vs. them mentality here. Bally people thought they were a great company before SciGames/WMS purchased them. Well, WMS people felt the same way (was a great company before SG purchased them). But instead of joining in... — read more
Reviews?
No word on reviews/raises yet and it is almost March which is not a good sign.
Cobra Insurance forms
Why did all SG employees receive Cobra insurance information in the mail this week ?
This month?
Something is definitely up. Management has been disappearing for hours on end, won't look anyone in the face, no smiles and friendliness anywhere. That is the harbinger of what's to come soon.
Currency hedging of Euro -vs- Dollar, revolving credit increase, losses as far as the eye can see.
Bloody w-------rrs. https://seekingalpha.com/filing/4230291
Arg! Anything with Schumer's name on it will turn out to be utter rubbish.
Schumer and Hatch legislation? What could go wrong? Plan B had better be good. https://www.cdcgamingreports.com/feds-eye-move-to-regulate-legal-sports-betting/

The dead weight scientifically lingers at the bottom
People always target their sarcastic remarks towards upper level management unfairly. In most cases, not all those people are go getters. The people that make these companies great. They aren’t the ones sitting in the same job for 20 sum years... — read more
Non compete
Has anyone ever challenged the non compete? Hard to tell if it's anything more than just a scare tactic
Open enrollment coming.
Oh no. I just realized the annual insurance re-up is coming in November. Anyone who remembers the train wreck of last year ("You have no in-network doctors within 25 miles of the city? Well, stuff happens. Too bad. We have plenty of doctors here in... — read more
