Topics regarding layoffs at West Corp.

If you stay at this point...

You’re just a glutton for punishment. More layoffs, management updates a list consistently with your names. It’s like hunger games. Why do this to yourself? There’s a brighter side on the other end.

What happened last week?

Were there layoffs at West or no? I've seen several people post here that there were cuts but there is no info on anything having taken place.

More Work/less pay

How can this company sustain itself with the current “improvements” - apparently by adding more to everyone left and we are already stretched thin. Honestly I’ve never seen anything like it. Our poor customers. No wonder they’re abandoning ship.

Salary Review

Anyone negotiated a salary increase after taking on additional responsibilities? Is there significant pay variance among people on the same team in the same role? How is that pay for performance?

Why are we not getting our performance evaluations. They are due soon. No evaluations means no performance bonuses.

Ransomeware

I’m surprised no one has been talking about the 1 million dollars ransomware attack. Or the other viruses that have cause so much turmoil throughout the company. GTS is completely disorganized and floundering, the amount of money being wasted on... — read more

Paycut

Do you think anyone even proposed the idea of pay cuts instead of mass firings? Lots of new executives that can afford to take a temporary salary reduction. I would have been okay with that. Other companies I know have done 20% cuts across the... — read more 

Layoffs

Know your rights- severance isn’t typically a trade of for your silence. HR is there to protect the company, not you. You don’t have to sign anything and they can’t withhold pay for work performed for any reason. https://candor.co/guides/layoff/ — read more 

DIRECTV?

Anybody know if Intrado is still the vendor for Directv’s IVR? Through what was West Interactive. Wasn’t sure if after ATT bought Directv they finished going in-house with it or if there actually still is a Directv hub at W100’s 1st floor.

Start looking now

People are being let go. Open reqs are being closed. Morale is low. More work is being piled on. If you’re not doing the job of 2 or 3 people for pennies you’re not a team player. Apollo is running this into the ground.

RIF’s Feb 5

And more lay offs today. Some of the very best people. The bottom line is that Intrado does not care for its people. But by now, that should come as no surprise. When the majority of us are swamped with workloads and asked to take on more.... and we... — read more 

Policy Manual Change!!!!

Just found out they changed the policy manual on us a month ago and didn’t let anyone know. And it’s big. The old policy manual has an entire page dedicated to severance pay, how much you get, based on how long you’ve been with the company. IT’S GONE... — read more
