WU will be closing some regional offices; rumors are 1 in 3 employees will be laid off starting in August

If you really want to know about layoffs just ask your manager or supervisor - see what happens, always works at least in Englewood.

Makes no sense to sell land we own, with 2 buildings recently remodeled, to ONE building we LEASE in the DTC. Dumb move, even if they are selling to housing developers. Then again, money is wasted everywhere we turn. Sponsoring two professional... — read more 

Being an ex-WU employee, I can say some of the WU way ideas were well intentioned. Overall, nothing changed since the start of the program. WU spent millions of dollars on consulting firms instead of listening to their employees who told them the... — read more 

WU has no cohesive or coherent strategy - especially with the IT systems and groups. The "WU Way" initiative is just fluffy BS we overpaid a consulting company for to say "lets make things better!" without any real substance. So instead of being more... — read more 

Where to start with the critique of Western Union.... Management changes all the time -what's up with that - people cannot stick... If you are in any kind of management position, you will eventually get laid off. Western Union can't figure how to... — read more

Mass layoffs 06-28-2017

Do not be concerned, with things not working out well - things will play out good this year. But layoffs might be happening in Q1 here in Englewood.

Western Union has a reputation for lots of different layoff phases that sometimes can be really big. Typically, folks do get a solid severance package that somewhat softens the blow and makes employees somewhat more willing to ride out the... — read more 

Do you know anyone who accepted the package and what do you think about it?

There is no security at WU, seriously, it's all about the most recent financial results. The execs like their bonuses but always are short sighted, it's all about the most recent quarter, they do not look into future. Western Union does lay off a lot... — read more
