As someone who survived this round of layoffs and had my direct counterparts let go. Being the last-man standing with no one to cover in my stead is absolutely absurd. The more I hear, the less I want to know. I feel awful for those who were impacted... — read more
MASS HIRING IN PHILIPPINES AFTER LAYOFF
The day after layoffs, a message went out to employees in the Philippines alerting of a mass hiring event for Back Office Analysts, Customer Service Representatives and Technical Support Representatives. They will keep just enough people in the US... — read more
Anyone want some talk therapy about their job loss with a reporter?
I'm a journalist leading our coverage for Payments Dive. I'm sorry to hear so many of you are going through this awful experience of losing your jobs -- right before Labor Day weekend. My name is Lynne Marek. If you've been cut from Global Payments... — read more
Warn notice???
How was Warn notice of 60 days not given???
What’s with reorganization?
It seems we are entering the reign of chaos.
Why stay; why try?
Why would anyone stay at or join a company where top performers are laid off, not because of budge, or critical mistakes, or behavioral issues, but simply because some bureaucrat couldn't be bothered to find out their name or what they do?
New teams?
Has anyone been reassigned today? I thought we were getting a new teams/leadership but it’s been silent. What’s going on?
To Ryan Loy
I don't wish for your downfall. I don't wish for your economic demise. I just want you to know how despised you are, and especially the company you work for. We may smile when you greet us. We may act like we care (because we have to) but you and... — read more
I don’t think anything good will come out of these layoffs
Too many competent and experienced people were let go. I also don’t trust either McKinsey or our mgmt to come up with reorganization which will result in improved performance without us working for three people. But we already know we are the least... — read more
Are the rest of us supposed to pick up the extra work now?
Considering how overworked we already were before the layoff, I don't think it's realistic to expect us to take over the work from those who were laid off. Unless their goal is to get more of us to quit due to burnout and save them from having to pay... — read more
New org chart will be posted Thursday.
I heard from the Xenial CLT office that a new org-chart will be posted Thursday. Deff not looking forward to what kinda sh-t-show we're in for. I've heard that they're banking on attrition to happen, and if it doesn't then before GP25 is done there... — read more
Hope this McKinsey gambles payout
I hope the decision to bring in top executives from McKinsey, along with the GP 2025 initiative and the layoffs informed by their feedback, works out in the long run. Many experienced individuals who truly knew the system were let go, leaving those... — read more
Constructive Dismissal
Please make sure you don’t sign anything unless you contact legal advice. This seems as a constructive dismissal under the employment act in Ontario.
This is what happens..
When your only strategy is to buy other companies and not innovate. You run out of companies to buy and then executives sit in their suite at a falcons game and ask what next? Hmmm
Timetable
North America employees are supposed to know their fate by EOD 8/26 8/27- Other countries will know tomorrow 8/27-8/29- role responsibility changes (still have a job but now you are in charge of x,y,z) 8/30- follow up communication - org... — read more
India layoffs
India has been impacted for almost 70 people and most of them were below expectations performers and individual contributors no leaders has been impacted so far
It's insane they didn't communicate with upper management
In a vertical market company. None of our leadership knew who was getting laid off and when. Absolute miss. So many good and critical people let go.
Is it too late to volunteer?
I'd be happy to take a package and leave. I got a new manager six months ago and he is the definition of a bully. I've been looking for a new job anyhow, getting severance would have been amazing. I wish they first asked everybody to volunteer but I... — read more
Reorg day..any update?
Did anyone get a meeting invite about reshuffling of their role or team? Any idea which group will this impact
2700 to be affected in total
Has this been confirmed? Pls post if you have any info on depts or how long it will last. It’s not a pleasant feeling not knowing what to expect.
Older employees
Am I wrong, or does it seem like older employees were specifically targeted by this layoff? The people I know who were laid off are all over 40, some over 50. This might be a coincidence, but to be honest, I wouldn't put it past this management to... — read more
So sorry guys, for all of us
It’s not very professional and fair to keep us in the dark in such a manner. We yet have no clue what the target numbers are nor for how long this will really last. Try to keep it together, be supportive of each other. I wish us all luck, and I hope... — read more
UK / International Layoffs?
Any UK / International layoffs confirmed yet? Or meetings been booked?
Good folks got let go
It's awful how the company treats the very people who helped build it from the ground up. Many VPs and Senior VPs, including diligent and hardworking individuals, are being let go specially from Tsys issuing
Layoffs Impacting Senior Leadership
Some of good, hardworking VPs and Senior VPs were let go specially from issuing coz "too many decision makers". It's awful how the company treats the very people who helped build it from the ground up.
Worst way to announce retirement..it's been a long day!
Could barely get any work done today. It was a long day filled with anxiety waiting for it to be over. Hopefully the reorg day wont be as terrible as today.
Aug 27th Tuesday, do you have a random meeting invite ? Re-org Day
Has there been a previously unplanned meeting for you on the calendar already, no idea if re org is happening today ? Workday has not be changed yet
MineralTree?
Is anyone from MineralTree affected yet? I’m wondering how widespread this is but my manager and their manager don’t know anything apparently.
Benefits and severance pay
For those that have been laid off, can you please disclose when your insurance benefits are active until? And did you receive any severance pay? If so, for how long? I, and I’m sure many others, have health problems and desperately need insurance... — read more
