So as WU will be in chaos for the next year, and especially where in IT things will get really bad when the majority of the teams are in India, and the company continues to decline, at this time, there are no incentives for those not laid-off to stay... —  read more 

Should we worry about more layoffs this week? Will the torture continue or can we finally relax?

Western Union is not giving you a package out of the goodness of its heart or any kind of loyalty towards its long-term employees. The money is not being given to you to help you out in a time of need - it's given to you so you would sign away your... —  read more 

I would like the say that the company has been more than generous with the layoff notice and severance package. No other company would notify with at least a 3 month advance plus a severance. There are no jobs for life anymore and we have to... —  read more 

It was a bloodbath today in Denver. And layoffs will continue for the next couple of days. This is NOT a 10% layoff. More like 30%....

WU is a crashing airplane and upper management is trying to fix it with expensive silly tools to "enhance the customer experience" WU lacks innovation and experience. WU does an amazing job getting its employees to drink the "Kool-aid" of great... —  read more 

I handed in my resignation yesterday. It has become obvious lately that there is no future here - the company will keep laying off people each month until there is nobody here left to lay off. Sad but true. I will miss the people I work with, but... —  read more

We have had the news about Miami, Montvale, San Fran and London. Which office is next?

Some management and leadership positions are moving to Denver from regional offices, but the teams will be in India. (That’ll be fun to try to manage) Denver teams will also be moved to India. A lot of managers were not even aware that their teams... —  read more 

Have there been any more layoffs today anywhere at Western Union, not just in San Francisco? So far, there is nothing happening at my location, but people do seem very tense. I'm wondering if I missed something and we might be getting some... —  read more 

I hear there was some big meeting in the San Fran office. Any ideas of what happened?

now hearing for every (1) FTE that gets laid off, (2) Contractors will be let go..... so 30% is the true head count reduction

Anything?

just announced on the earnings call 10% reduction in head count $100mm in operating savings 10% decrease in headcount Consolidate operations/ close locations 2019/2020 in severance

WU will be closing some regional offices; rumors are 1 in 3 employees will be laid off starting in August

Make a prediction and tell us what you think about Western Union Layoffs in 2019 -- Thoughts??

If you really want to know about layoffs just ask your manager or supervisor - see what happens, always works at least in Englewood.

Makes no sense to sell land we own, with 2 buildings recently remodeled, to ONE building we LEASE in the DTC. Dumb move, even if they are selling to housing developers. Then again, money is wasted everywhere we turn. Sponsoring two professional... —  read more 

Being an ex-WU employee, I can say some of the WU way ideas were well intentioned. Overall, nothing changed since the start of the program. WU spent millions of dollars on consulting firms instead of listening to their employees who told them the... —  read more 

WU has no cohesive or coherent strategy - especially with the IT systems and groups. The "WU Way" initiative is just fluffy BS we overpaid a consulting company for to say "lets make things better!" without any real substance. So instead of being more... —  read more 

Where to start with the critique of Western Union.... Management changes all the time -what's up with that - people cannot stick... If you are in any kind of management position, you will eventually get laid off. Western Union can't figure how to... —  read more

Mass layoffs 06-28-2017

Do not be concerned, with things not working out well - things will play out good this year. But layoffs might be happening in Q1 here in Englewood.

What is the likelihood of Western Union layoffs in Englewood in 2016? Please let me know if you have any information.

Western Union has a reputation for lots of different layoff phases that sometimes can be really big. Typically, folks do get a solid severance package that somewhat softens the blow and makes employees somewhat more willing to ride out the... —  read more 

There is no security at WU, seriously, it's all about the most recent financial results. The execs like their bonuses but always are short sighted, it's all about the most recent quarter, they do not look into future. Western Union does lay off a lot... —  read more 

Do you think we might have layoffs in January, February or March of 2015? I've been with Western Union for about 2 years now, I work in IT and things do not look good based on rumors I am hearing.

What's the typical package gets (focus on paying clients)

Every day is worse than the one before - this place majorly sucks (at least the IT group)...

WU is cutting already and will continue to cut in 2014. I am not sure if 2015 and beyond will be any better but now that alternative payment systems are getting more traction I'd expect WU to take yet another cut. On the other hand many people are... —  read more 

i was let go back in 2010. almost 200 of us were cut, western union was fair and the severance was good.

Any updates here - I heard that the finance group and the IT group might go through some layoffs in 2014. It was a bit choppy in 2013 and I do not see things improving here. Western Union can be unpredictable, I've been around for a while and I... —  read more
