I was not an employee, it was my wife. She was let go 2 weeks ago after NEVER getting a review nor raise in the years that she served as an unappreciated yet glorified gofer! 2 weeks later, her position has been posted as a new position. So many... — read more

Not surprised, but still scary.
Iv been with the company for 20 years and I could see the writing on the wall. Dont buy the echo chamber u can learn a lot by googling "alliance data stock" n reading third party sources. Dey gave shareholders a .63 cent dividend which they announced... — read more
Ban the Thanksgiving lunch at ADS this year!
I think everyone should ban the Thanksgiving lunch at ADS this year. It sends a message. “We aren’t family and we aren’t ok with what you did to our family”. It’s nothing drastic, but it’s better then just moving on without some sort of message.
Kiss your holiday bonuses goodbye!
They screwed this company so bad this past year, don't expect jack from them this holiday season.
Feeling Nervous and Unsettled
It is very scary when you see your very own manager just, let go and escorted out of the building. A person whom you know to have been the most loyal dedicated and hard working "for the company" person ever.....who's next?? Me??? I know thiese are... — read more
VP delivers layoff message in 2 min, Leaves the room...
The way this was handled was a reflection of Alliance Data's poor leadership. Cowardly, calculated and cold. We had a VP deliver the message in less than 2 minutes and then leave the room. An HR rep was there to finish the conversation... — read more

The List
How was the list assembled for the layoffs?
As a stockholder...
I do not work at ADS, but I own stock and I'm concerned executive management does not know what they are doing. After the stock has fallen from 312 to 105 the CEO and leadership should be fired and replaced. The board of directors should demand it... — read more
We are done
At least for now. Expect more in a month or two.
What about today?
Will there be more layoffs or are we done? Does anybody have any info on it?
How much money did they get from you in their charity drive this year?
They begged and pleaded, ran events, gave away prizes, ALL to make sure they could claim your donations as their own, and get a huge tax break. Next year, if you're still there, and they start begging you for donations, dont give to them. Give... — read more
More layoffs to come
People across sites and lines of business are getting layoff. Associates are having meeting with their direct supervisor and managers regarding their performance. I believe more layoff to come. I think @11DJJVpS-2ukn is correct. I think we have... — read more
Broad Street Collections
Broad Street Collections here- I’m beyond concerned. For those who have been affected, my condolences and best wishes. This is BS what about transparency and INTEGRITY
The ax fell unexpectedly
All meetings were cancelled. People angry and whispering. They finally told us “upper management”- 300 were laid off. My manager was laid off and we didn’t even get to say good bye. People walked out by security. Now with new offshoring, I’m sure we... — read more
Not a warm and fuzzy feeling
The way the layoffs were done will definitely put all employees on edge wondering if we are going to be next. Always wondering if we should be looking for new work before this happens to us. Off shoring sensitive information is not the best idea in... — read more
So Very Sorry to all who got laid off
From Coeur d Alene Idaho. So very sorry for all those who got laid off. Praying you all get great jobs. I am stunned at how they did the layoffs and disappointed with management. We just had our annual give back but yet they treat their own... — read more
ADS Severance Payment
I want to say that giving a severance of 29 weeks for 17 years of loyal service is BS and they have lied over and over saying that a job is safe no worries. F—ing corporate executives only care about themselves. Calling the 29 weeks enhanced... — read more

300 people were just laid off today. This looks strategic, 1 day before the Q3 earnings call. The company is not doing well. All levels of leadership and some non-exempt positions were affected. Field Engagement, Client Partnerships, Customer Care... — read more
ADS IT Layoffs
Was the IT Group hit hard?
Care center, marketing, analytics, security, client Partnerships and more.
I don’t know of a single upper management person who was laid off. Layoffs were from every area of the business. Care center, marketing, analytics, security, client Partnerships and more.
Selection Rationale
There was no rhyme or reason for who was selected for layoffs. For me, it just feels like names were pulled out of a hat. Total, absolute random process. It feels that way.
Hope their bonuses are nice and big this year...
I work at one of the buildings at Easton. After being here for 8 years (4 of them good), this company has lost focus and great too fast. I am not shocked by this at all. And while there are some poor performers in the list I was privy to... — read more
