This place is such a mess, where do I begin? New India "employees" every day, and people basically training themselves out of a job. Shady management, all "engineers" are suddenly "producers", who the hell is supposed to author games if you are all... — read more

Sorry to inform you guys but the layoffs are coming back.

Layoff has started in Chicago this morning. Haven't heard about other locations yet. Some VPs gone.

I heard that June's cuts will be deep.

I hear the Q2 cuts are going to be >4x greater then the Q1 cuts. The CEO told the investment community to expect to see meaningful cash flow improvements by mid-year.

Anyone knows what's happening in Reno? Any layoffs there?

Large layoffs in Vegas at the Jones location - a lot of anxiety in the air. People are just afraid and do not know what is going to happen. 2015 started with a (layoffs) bang.

Let me pose a question...how do 3 damn people make any difference in the bottom line? Why bother? The damage of morale and uncertainty for the rest of us was worth it I hope, because everyone is on edge. Getting rid of a single director makes no... — read more 

HR has started laying people off in Chicago today.

They are going to start picking core teams that have overlap with WMS now like in operations, marketing and admin functions such as legal and accounting. Get ready both sides. It's gonna suck while they keep us in the dark and make those closed door... — read more 

I heard rumors that 400-500 will be "impacted" next week by the RIF -- across the whole organization. Haven't heard how it will break down in terms of which parts of the company will be affected. I'm sure it will be just like the one in December... — read more

Don't have any delusions, it's all about numbers now. Start putting feelers out, the people that have made Bally are going to be cast aside, and the people that do NOTHING are going to still be stuffing money in their lying mouths. Good luck, I have... — read more 

I am hearing that NY State employees will be affected. Managers and senior techs are going. Sgms is bringing in replacement techs to be trained.

Does anyone know the SGames policy of non-compete clauses? Are the Bally clauses voided now after the buyout?

Has anyone heard anything about a major layoff in February to include middle to upper management?

Was WMS affected with 12/12/14 layoffs?

yup, just got terminated of what HR calls " Reduction in Force", but was offered severance package. no choice but to accept since layoff was on Dec (Holidays)..Heard not all was offered severance :( By the way, more layoff to come ...

Layoffs have happened in US offices. Any idea when it will be happening in India Development centres?

?

It's going down in Reno today. People are getting synergised for the good of all. 2 confirmed so far.

SciGames just layed off 5% at WMS just before the merger. They "Synergized" 15% more over the last year. A lot of dead-weight was removed, but now a lot of very talented people are quitting. Morale is in the toilet as the rats are scrambling to reach... — read more 

Both India development centers are to be shutdown.

So I hear that layoffs might be coming on the 10th. I also hear that it will be a substantial amount. Anyone else hear this? Love how they are treating employees over this. At least we will be laid off with "respect".

With the impending layoff across Bally and WMS and SG, nobody is motivated to do anything. I'm sure this will hurt the Q4 numbers even more. This thing is being mismanaged into the ground.

What are your thoughts right now

I can tell you for a fact the mgmt inside Bally is dishonest. They promise people they will be part of the team by giving you restricted stock and then a few weeks later you're out the door. This is fact. When they purchased SHFL they let go a lot of... — read more 

They're going to cut a quarter to half the company as soon as Nevada approves the merger. Execs get their golden parachutes and peons that actually do work get canned. Those that remain will be demoralized and won't have incentive to stay... Company... — read more 

What going to happen to Bally's Alladin's Castle? Probably won't make it.

It's public knowledge in the presentation on the SG site that 300+ jobs will be cut. Rumors are flying that majority of the cuts will be to WMS to get rid of overlapping positions. Also rumors are stating it's happening end of Nov.

Yes the managers / directors and VP's are heavy here, weight intended as well. Fat pigs. They make the managers and controllers do Staff work. Putting in an average of 75 hours a week. 40 of witch is paid, then yelled at for not getting everything... — read more 

Senior management is going to do another major set of layoffs before the scientific gaming "merger". They never fix the management hierarchy problems and instead are killing the worker bees!

Isn't the company made up of all Indians anyway?

We'll hire you if you can provide...."other things".

Anybody noticed that older folks are being disproportionately targeted this go around?
