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

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

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
It's that time again!! Gasp, I'm shocked!!
January is almost here. Given IGT's history, you know what is coming. I hope you didn't spend too much this Christmas, the bill will be due just about the time they walk you out.

It’s thanksgiving and we just announced layoffs within field services due to outsourcing within east coast. Wow no shame!!
Layoffs at IGT
Layoffs happening in Reno as part of "restructuring". I saw several people being walked out on Friday, mostly long-time employees. This company has no loyalty to anyone anymore, it's time for all of us to drop our loyalties and leave on our own... — read more
Updated Rumors?
It seems like things are starting to quiet down and there is a lull in layoff rumor news. Does that mean there is some element of job security right now or is just just the calm before the storm?
Whispers of Northeast shake-up
I am hearing from a birdie that something is going on as far as a reorganization.
Reduction in staff due to capex review occurs yearly
Reduction in staff due to capex review occurs yearly. This is not a layoff but reduction as needed to ride cost and promote efficiency within the department. Hiring will occur and employees turned based on performance and salary. This approach allows... — read more
Any updated layoff news?
As it has been a couple of months since the occurrence of the last round of significant layoffs, I can’t help but be concerned that another one is in the works. Has anyone heard any news? It’s really unfortunate that the unstable climate now seems... — read more
More layoffs will happen
I am afraid to tell you as part of management thAt layoffs are not over. Capex is now mandatory review, synergies are the norm, and we are told to tighten belts, and look once a year if a person isn’t needed even for short term. We could hire new... — read more
We just got laid off
Many of us in the San Francisco Interactive office were let go. Some of our group members in London were let go as well. We are barely making it here even with jobs given the cost of living in the bay, and now I am out of a job right before... — read more
