McKinsey is the devil and Jonathan Riguad is their Dutch plug. They are the epitome of if GPS told them to turn right into a lake they are surely drowning. Abysmal

If you want to know why the company is doing what it is doing, here’s a small lesson in Private Equity and Leveraged Buyouts. Basically, a larger company finds a smaller healthy company that has employees that they are paying well and has invested a... — read more 

Is anyone else hearing that July 7th is the "reorg" day?

They are a failing company thanks to their own doing. Offshoring to India is going to run it into the ground even more. All they care about is the money they line their pockets with. There has been a steady and steep decline to every company that GP... — read more 

Anybody else have their Co-Pilot surreptitiously shut down? AI first right?! I would love some honest comms. Just tell us the truth, or is the truth too scary..?

Global looks like their wages are dogshit, especially for the industry. Worldpay was not perfect but much more competitive, nd most of the new HR including the Head of HR are Worldpay folks not Global folks. A good sign for the future of employee... — read more 

The Wall Street Journal evaluates how leading US corps stack up in 6 areas: AI readiness, innovation, talent readiness, financial fitness, resilience and agility. Global Payments ranks #119 overall with an Overall Score of 56.4, above the Financial... — read more 

July 13-17 wellness week “Extra” paid day off

Personally, Cameron bringing in McKinsey will be his legacy and what he will be remembered for. Someone got into his ear and he took some bad decisions. Things feel different. Way more now since the WP closure. Something feels very odd with WP... — read more 

Layoffs that were expected in June now appear to be slipping into July. My guess is the company is adding more people to the RIF list, which is not exactly surprising given Global Payments track record of recurring workforce reductions and the... — read more 

They have been pushing team members in the most recent all hands meetings to take their PTO and time off. I have never heard such a push for this from leaders. I have been with the company over 7 years now, and there’s never been mention of taking... — read more 

How do you find out what level your position is? I’ve seen posts saying N4 and below are getting laid off I don’t know what “level” my role is. Is there a place in workday to see it?

In what was once a somewhat protected role, we are now being told that the EA roles are now changing to a worldpay model. I’m fairly new to Global Payments and I’m worried about my job now. This place is toxic and creates anxiety for their employees... — read more 

A lot of whispers say July. Jville-Heartland is one of the targets. Is it all of Jville or select leaders? If you know, just say so people can start preparing.

I keep my skills fresh, paid for a resume rewrite, network constantly, and still nothing after five months. The interviews I got went well and then they just stopped responding, which somehow hurts worse than a straight rejection. What else can I do? — read more 

If you’re with a vertical market like touchnet, greater giving, zego, mineral tree, heartland, etc How are things going at your respective companies? How are earnings? How is morale? Or is the sales pipeline and sales leadership?

We had a crunch meeting today, to tell all staff that all departments including companies they have acquired will be taking lay offs. more than 20 from my dept alone, would be one third.

Did you notice that after every layoff the environment becomes a bit more toxic? People start keeping to themselves, become less cooperative, and are more likely to take credit for things they didn't do. It's not even that I blame anybody, I can... — read more 

There were some rumors of more cuts at the start of June, what happened with that?

I recently participated in a high-level meeting where it was communicated that Global intends to transition remaining employees to the vendor InfoSys through a “rebadging” process rather than conducting direct layoffs with severance packages. During... — read more 

I've been thinking a lot about the people I've watched burn out here, the ones who stayed late every night, who answered emails on weekends, who pushed through stress headaches and sleepless nights because they thought it was what they had to do... — read more 

global engineering and operations all hands tomorrow Wonder what we can expect to hear

Anyone know who is next to go and a timeline?

What concerns many operations employees right now is not just restructuring itself, but the growing disconnect between executive strategy and the actual realities customers experience every day. Operations teams are often the people closest to the... — read more 

GP Used to have a wellness day that would be announced mid-May and we could take it during the last week or so of June. the day wasn't included in the normal pto schedule since it was considered a "bonus" day with RIF incoming, should we expect that... — read more 

There were so many cuts lately that every person on my team now does the work of two people - if we're lucky! Some are doing even more. When will this end? When we start keeling over?

This call started off with the highest of BS, and CB does think like an owner and his wallet is bulging because of it. The first 100 days has been a Sh** Show!!

Hope everyone is ready. VP here from LEGACY (not Heritage) TSYS... benefits will be changing next year. Expect changes with time off packages, 401K match, hybrid work (full RTO), and substantial increase in Healthcare costs. You heard it here first... — read more

Was your office busy?

The July action will be the biggest reduction in force to date.

I spent there less than a year - I quit because I was bored. I observed 50+ people doing almost nothing, mostly consultants or other peers. My manager (SVP level) was unable to control her area and didn't even know what she should expect from people... — read more 

Sounds like all departments in both companies have been told the last two levels of Orgs will be settled in late May through June. This means mass layoffs at this time. Curious if anyone is being told different, later in the year etc. I know some at... — read more 

That's this place in a nutshell.

FIS and WP promotions took place in July (first pay period) and that's when raises go into effect. Is GP traditionally a different time in the year? And does anyone know if we will move to July for the whole company, or whenever GP usually does it?

We used to have job security. No matter what, I knew I had some stability. I could buy a house or a car because I felt safe. Now my mortgage feels like a noose around my neck since I can't tell anymore if I'll have my job from day to day. It's really... — read more 

WorldPay got an extra PTO day each summer and could do Summer Friday's and log off early. Does Global have something similar?

Just got a recent job offer from global payments. I will be working with genius but makes me nervous with the acquisition and layoff consolidation.. any recent news in regards to plans? What’s going on

Just curious if anyone knows how many people have already been let go this year, and what they're trying to reduce down to. If you take all hGP and hWP combined at the start it was around 27k people, right?

From a meeting today if you are WFM you won't be able to move internally. All new roles are in office. The unsaid part is also if you are WFM expect to be treated differently from now on. Less or No promotions, more scrutinized, first on the... — read more
