Here we go again, IGT was just sold!! Separation letters are coming out and resignations being asked from us.
Midway Through the Year!
How does IGT fare at this juncture of the year?
How many did we lose this year?
I know there were layoffs recently and we also had a few earlier in the year. Is there any way to figure out how many people were cut overall and if there is a risk of more layoffs in the near future? I'd like to enter 2023 without having to worry... — read more
Layoffs on the way
Word is getting around in upper management that there will be mass layoffs of 10% to 20% of the overall workforce. Find a new gig while you can :(
Mid Year Review
It’s been some time since the last post. How is IGT doing these days? Solid company? Will they hire back recently layed off employees? Make it mandatory to return to the office. Anyone have information?
Happy New Year…or Maybe Not… How are things slated for 2022.
It’s hard to believe that we are entering into 2022. What is the outlook for IGT as we move into the new year? Add jobs? More layoffs? New Games? Opening up the office? Closing more locations? Anyone have information they would like to share or... — read more
A good transformation is necessary
I love this company, I used to love working here and I have great memories of this place. However, I had to look for something new because I don't like the way this company is being run now. My opinion is that changes are necessary, that it is... — read more
Now I am worried
The talent that I have seen leave in the last couple of years has been impactful but the people I saw leave this week are literally irreplaceable. I'm hitting the job trail Monday morning. Good grief.
I thought something would change with the vaccine
Before the vaccine came along, I thought the company was on the verge of absolute collapse. Then the vaccine came and it gave some hope that the situation would get better here and that IGT would begin to recover from the impact of the pandemic... — read more
More layoffs are coming
Get ready. This is not a drill. Like, seriously.
October!
How’s the company doing? Any recent layoffs? Any chance of hiring more people?
Dream
Last night, I had the weirdest dream. I was young and back at IGT. All of engineering was back. It was cash-sharing day...the BBQ...everyone was happy. I miss those days I guess.
Future of the company?
How does the future of IGT look? Do you think they will reopen the Las Vegas Buffalo office?
Moving through May
What do you guys think?
Will IGT ever bounce back?
It’s a shame that right when yo think this company is bouncing back, they continue cutting people. I think the only people left are a few in Rhode Island that IGT has to keep in order to get the tax breaks that were offered in exchange for a... — read more
IGT layoffs happening
IGT just laid off a bunch of LSRs and DSMs, added stores to lsr not getting the can, I think IGT is sinking and it's trying to save itself. Leave while you can
March 2021
Does anyone have informations on March layoff?
February
It's hard to believe that we are heading into our eleventh month since the initial request to work from home and then the furlough and then layoffs for many of our peers. Do you think IGT will start reopening the building? Do you think the worst... — read more
January 2021
Diego here again. It’s been a wild ride over the last few months. Where do we stand going forward? Will IGT recall some people furloughed/layed off? Will they eliminate more positions? Will the cafeterias reopen again? Where is the direction of IGT... — read more
Is this good news for us?
Does this mean there will be no immediate need for more layoffs? Or am I just deluding myself? "International Game Technology PLC Announces Agreement To Sell Italian B2C Gaming Business For €950 Million In... — read more
Could it have been better?
I was hoping for salvation, but this seems increasingly hopeless. There is no end to dismissals. The situation is bad not only in this company but in the whole industry. I wonder if it’s all about the way the company is managed during crisis or some... — read more
December
Well we made it to December. I’ll kick things off. How does IGT fare for this month? Do you think we will get cut or perhaps will we receive a bonus? Let’s kick off the comments below.
November.. Here we go...
September and October was relatively quiet. It's November 2, and I was just let go from the Las Vegas location. I'll miss this place. Was anyone else cut?
October ?
Going into October now. How are things looking? In particular, will the Las Vegas, NV campus reopen? I’m concerned about the fate of Las Vegas. Anybody have information?
Any September Layoffs?
Was there any September layoffs? Thinking about leaving the company prior to getting layed off. Just want to know where we stand right now.
Retirement Package
Got my Retirement offer today. Not very good at all. 19 weeks salary and 19 weeks COBRA. Absolutely horrible offer. I will not be taking it! What an insult!
Bankruptcy Filing
Here in NYC we are hearing rumors of a possible Bankruptcy Filing. My manager mentioned it but told us to keep it quiet. What is anyone hearing ?
IGT/GTECH CORONAVIRUS LAYOFFS
Just to clarify, IGT and GTECH/Lottomatica merged a couple of years ago, and chose the name IGT. The following is my best recollection so it might have some minor errors: IGT is located in Nevada and does mostly c-sino machines. Lottomatica is a... — read more
June Status
Since we are into June, I was wondering how things are faring? Anyone have updates?
Massive Layoff Effective 06/01/20
Just heard that approximately 60 people from the Reno and Las Vegas offices will be layed off effective 06/01/20. Most of the affected were part of the engineering studio called Lighthouse. IGT will only pay benefits for one month. That's so cheap... — read more
Who will survive
So...will the small gaming manufactures survive this crises??
Layoffs and Reductions in Salary
They are furloughing employees and if your non-union, reducing salaries. Here in NYC, we are union strong. https://www.legalsportsbetting.com/news/covid-19-causes-igt-to-furlough-on-thousands-of-us-employees/
When do the layoffs start?
Who will be cut first?
IGT finds a way around layoffs?

Rhode Island: 1,000 Jobs at risk
Igt may layoff 1,000 jobs in rhode island. Its in the news today.
Are there layoffs happening?
Curious to hear what you all have been hearing.
Some good advice
When a company lays you off, it has been my observation that you, as an ex-employee of XYZ Corporation are far better off for it. They don't lay off people unless they are suffering. But - getting fired for non-performance is on you. That too isn't... — read more
Just lost my job in NYC
Sad but just got laid off in NYC
Earnings for SGMS on 21 Feb
Hold on to your bums Dearest, the 21 February earnings call at SGMS will be most interesting. It's make or break time; albeit, outside analysts are expecting a decline in earnings, making SGMS at minimum, in near coma. That is until they shed a large... — read more
You work, you get paid, end of story
Loyalty? To what? Seriously, that frame of mind is absurd. You work, you get paid, end of story. It's really that simple. When work ends- you don't get paid. When the job ends, you find another job. That's reality. That is the attitude from above... — read more
