Reorganization day
Just found out we’re reorganizing. About 1/3 the state is moving to a squad on Monday. People are obviously pi---d off.
This place is the epitome of a bad company
I personally can’t stomach staying working for Gainwell Technologies. This place is the epitome of a bad company. Zero value for the customer and zero value for me and all other employees. They only care about money. They steal money from the states... — read more
Any WFRs this week?
Somebody posted about this being a big week for WFRs. I am also waiting on the early retirement offer that somebody posted about a while back.
Layoffs will continue but it won’t be 3K people
Not even close to 3k. I can’t speculate on where and when because Claudia and her 10 Vice Presidents haven’t figured that out yet. Mark Knickrehm would send all our jobs to India and the Philippines if he could. I wonder when Veritas will figure out... — read more
You are not safe, no matter how good you are at your job
The management at Gainwell considers everyone easily replaceable. There’s always someone willing to work for less and that's the only thing that matters to them. That’s just the reality of how things work.
What keeps you here?
In the current situation, what motivates you to stay? I'm among those who have been looking for something else diligently, but I know there are those who have no intention to leave unless they're kicked out and I can't help but wonder why. This is... — read more

"May the odds be ever in your favor", but they never are.
Everyday is dealing with head games, power plays and people that would sc--w you over for a chocolate bar. I'm not a devious person, so for me to deal supervisors and colleagues (Inter and intra departmental) that are, as well as the toxicity on a... — read more
I’ve worked in several companies, and this one is the worst
Hands down. At this point I’m just observing the interpersonal dynamics as you would observe social experiment. It would even be interesting if it all wasn’t peppered by questionable competence. If the amount of time and energy spent on toxic games... — read more
Feudalism is alive and well at Gainwell
Where manager/supervisors will take great strides to keep you in your proper social class. This is purposely done through micro-managing and withholding information as a method of control. Managers can't have the peasants exceeding them in anyway... — read more
WFR week of 9/23
Mostly poor performers but also few whom their mgrs don’t like…settling scores. Watch out - be nice to managers and keep trying for better job/employer!
I'm sorry if I don't bend the knee
For those A-type personalities that exhibit narcissistic and bullish tendencies. I'm sorry: That I don't hang on your single word. Just because you may be well spoken, doesn't necessarily make you right all the time. You may be a little... — read more
Always lucky to be rich enough to retire financially
Then, none of us have to deal with workplace nonsense and bullies and unnecessary cr-p. Hoping to win lotto and get out of this rut of nonstop id-ot game at work where it is impossible to stay sane, even if we try to do the bare minimum and stay out... — read more

I have anxiety attacks.
I literally have anxiety attacks before work each day. Wondering what type of c-r-a-p someone is going to try and pull. Whether it be from someone within my department or some other department. I expect it from the managers/supervisors, because... — read more
Do we have any information about WFRs?
I am seeing very little about WFR on this site. It's mostly posts about culture. Anyone have accurate information about WFRs?
Are people who do nothing and just earn paychecks safe?
Lots of people here seem to agree that it is best within Gainwell’s corrupt environment to just do nothing and draw paychecks. Are they safe and immune from layoffs?

Off-shoring jobs to cover up the cost of incompetency

Maybe Gainwell doesn't deserve to keep going.

Why hasn't Gainwell been exposed?
