A new meeting is on my calendar for an SMB town hall on Friday. Is this going to be a meeting for layoffs?
RIF
I’m hearing the 23rd. Lots of Product. No more information. Good luck to all.
Today’s town hall
What was the takeaway? Layoffs coming this month? Sounds to me like they are going to have all of this done by the end of the quarter so we should hear something soon.
No layoffs for a while
I've heard some whispers that there shouldn't be any layoffs at least until the next quarter. I don't know if it's true, but thought I'd share just in case. If anybody knows more, let us know.
Rehiring older employees
The company seems willing to bring back older employees, but only at a pay cut. A former coworker applied and was basically offered his old role from about a year ago (he was laid off), just with much lower pay. Unfortunately, he’s thinking about... — read more
For those who quit, what was your final two weeks like?
I'm getting closer to landing a new job and I'm curious about the exit process. Did you give the standard two-week notice, and what did that period involve? I’m mostly interested in what the company required you to do during that time, like any... — read more
2026
When are we closed on World Payments? When is the next layoff?
Columbus Campus update
Columbus TSYS Campus will become FIS - with a select section of workspace retained for GP employees for the “foreseeable future” - Presumably until those jobs are sent to Manila and desk space in the US is a thing of the past for us.
Attention Global Payments Operations Team Members - Offshoring/RIF
Are you in Operations in the US or Canada, well expect your job to go overseas in 2026. Along with our friends from McKinsey, Ops leadership is making a BIG push to offshore Ops team members to our offices in the Philippines or to a new third party... — read more

What are you guys hearing today? So much anxiety.
New (old) Board members
Announced today two new board members from Elliott. First I had heard about them since Elliot was announced in July. The name Patricia Watson ring a bell? Former CIO of TSYS before the merge. https://stocks.apple.com/AwYVr2N0ZQEy9uQPQVwbyJg
October Surprise
Rumblings of an announcement is expected to occur in the coming weeks. All customer support is headed over seas . SM & below will be impacted. Time for me to put out the resume out before the shtf. Several U.S buildings are slated to be closed... — read more

Why is Worldpay hiring so many roles? I mean we will be RIFing a huge part of their legacy org with moving a substantial amount of our combined company's work to Mexico, India, and Manila within the next 12 to 18 months, beginning with before year... — read more
Before year end
My manager once again has let the cat out of the bag. You will likely hear in the coming weeks about significant additional cuts that they are going to do state side so they can reposition jobs overseas. They might as well rename the company Manilla... — read more
Impossible is the motto, or so it seems
Everything at this place feels impossible: producing executives who don’t resemble a circus act, making a profit without layoffs, holding on to good employees, fostering a healthy culture, or recovering from years of negligence. And then some.
Do more with less
Every time we had a meeting with our leaders, we're always told 'Man, It feels bad. Totally unprecedented. But we gotta keep our heads up. Support one another. Work leaner this year. Put aside all the angst and bottle it up.. etc' Expect more... — read more
Embrace "Change"
So from Cameron Bready's exhausting epilogue, the word counter on "change" was absurd. "Change" aka in HR word speak is re-orgs and layoffs.
Today Was a Bad Day
Today we watched over 200 years of experience walk out the door as our AP teams in the United States worked their last day. Everything being shipped across the pond to Manila. Don't get me wrong I have no issue with the folks in the Philippines but... — read more
Poorly run company
Stock has went nowhere for years. Poor acquisitions in recent years. Incompetent upper mgmt!!!
155/600 jobs in Philippines
An email went out today advising that the Manilla office added 155 jobs there this year and expect to meet their goal of hiring 600 by the end of the year. This is not a good sign for US workers.
Town hall
How many town halls do we need!? Especially when it’s the same BS each leader is saying, the only difference is it’s coming out of a different mouth. It’s getting a bit much having so many town halls that don’t tell us anything different. Tell us... — read more
More FUnctionalization
Let my start out by saying my boss never knows when to keep his trap shut. He's an oversharer and it is never for good reasons. He wants to be one of the cool kids. Makes promises to our customers he cant keep and worse, to me. He is a bafoon, buy... — read more
Unionize
Is anyone interested in creating a union? Is that an option? Will it help employees have more for a say on what is going on with this company? Will it protect employees? Is there anyone who is starting the process?
McKinsey and Cammie are destroying this company
The Risk Review “process” and McKinsey L4 circus are destroying this company. A toxic culture of fear along with toady sycophants replacing the product and tech innovation that made us Great. Cammie is the greatest bullsh-ter of all…. Promising... — read more
Thank You!!

Town hall comment...what site are they referring to?
In a question during today's town hall, someone said "Are you aware of the website that exposes changes and things happening around our company before employees are being informed?" Anyone know what site they're referring to? This is the only... — read more

If I’ve learned anything from this round of layoffs
it’s that I need to spend more energy looking after myself and make sure I dedicate more time to my job search than I ever have to this company. Yes, I’ll do my job, barely. I’ll treat the company the way it treats us: with little consideration, no... — read more
Layoffs will never be over
Don't expect job security ever again. We're well past that point. This is the new normal, and the sooner you accept it, the better off you'll be. I'm not saying it's good or right, but there's nothing you or I can do about it. If you're planning to... — read more
Now What?
What’s next?
Nothing new…..
I have been here 22 years and unfortunately this is nothing new. I started when P Garcia was CEO and they have done layoffs every year I’ve been here. Some years the RIFs are bigger than others but it ALWAYS happens. It’s all about money and they... — read more
Is it over?
I've heard from people who say it's over and I've heard from those who say there'll be more throughout the week. Does anybody actually know what's true?
Severence
For those that were laid off this week- What (if any) was the severance offered? When do your insurance benefits end? Are they pay you out of unused PTO (in states that it’s not required to pay out)?
