Cheap labor is on the horizon.
Accountable
Just have to wonder how many good people from the companies they meddled with and purchased are/have suffering from their greed. What they did was so unethical and something each and every person at the top should be held accountable for.
Layoff Day!
Here we go, as predicted when new CEO came in. Layoff Day! Won't know how big until end of the day, but hearing VPs to entry level being impacted.
The golden parachute parade / "efficiencies".
Another new CEO, to read us his bullet points about finding efficiencies and why we can't afford to replace your dying laptop. Somehow, SG always finds a few million between the sofa cushions to pay another in a long line of golden parachutes for yet... — read more
Sports betting operations just might be the future for SG
Maybe I’m over optimistic, but I really think SG setting up a Sportsbook operation center is a smart move. Sportsbook is a rising market with many opportunities, especially now when the US legal barriers are lifted. Although ,I know Gibraltar is far... — read more
New CEO, New Layoffs
New CEO posts video to YouTube saying company needs to look for "efficiencies". Next day he implements a hiring freeze. Everyone knows that means layoffs coming NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Layoff happening today
Just got let go from Reno. Along with some of my co-workers.
Looks like more layoffs happening now in Vegas at this moment
No one is safe The CEO was just fired Company lost 200 million in the last quarter Looks like things getting much worse at SGMS expect many to go to IGT
What's $19 a month.
Scientific Games has decided it's in the employees best interest to add a $19/month fee to everyone's 401k. Gotta pay that 8 billion down somehow. The company obviously needs more VPs. 60 isn't cutting it.
CHICAGO OFFICE TO BE CLOSED ON FRIDAY 2/9
That’s the memo headline. Read it and weep, or cheer real loud! Your choice.
Who was let go this week?
Supposedly there was a big layoffs round at Scientific Games this week (looks like yesterday was the worst day, but I've heard it all started on Monday), but I am failing to get any real info on who exactly and how many people were laid off? Is there... — read more
Chicago building being sold
Town hall next week. Bally has finally won. They never could handle the fact that we had a nice building. Now it's for sale and we're all done. At least we don't have to wonder anymore.
Attrition will remove the need for layoffs
They probably won't need to do any more layoffs in the Chicago office anymore -- at least not after today's "Annual Enrollment Benefits" presentation. Attrition will probably take care of any head-count reductions they need... They are changing the... — read more
Layoffs are happening folks, for real
Why so silent?
Does anything posted in here ever actually happen?
Just curious
Manager Layoff
2 managers are getting fired in India this month
Make sure we all know this guy is a loser!!

Sinking ship
Give it up guys, go find another job this place is going in the sh--ter
Next Round Coming?
It looks like about a month until the next quarter's earnings are announced. Plans are likely formulating for the next round of layoffs. Anyone heard anything?
Anybody hear anything about HB1 or foreigners replacing workers in the US?
Just curious. Does anyone know if HB1 Visa holders are replacing those in the US?
Any layoffs for December?
Has anyone heard if there will be more layoffs this month?
Cutting the water, really?
In the scope of things, how much does that water cost the freaking company? Maybe they shouldn't have bought DEQ! I bet the power hungry mongers at the top of the food chain are still getting their bonuses! I hope those greedy people get theirs now... — read more
Anyone letgo today? Maybe Monday 11/7?
Anyone let go today? Is this round over?
How is the layoff handled? A meeting, a call, a group meeting?
How does the actual act of communicating that you've been laid off from SG happen? Do they call you in a conference room? Who is there? What do they tell you? How long does it take?
Layoffs to continue
Do the math. CEO and company publicly states that they are looking for 75 million dollar savings; and 20 million dollars will be spent on this "purge". So far, we've heard of some 70-80 people in Alpharetta, some 15-20 in San Diego, and maybe a 100... — read more
WMS Chicago game development fate?
Does anyone have info on WMS Chicagos game development team? Will that department suffer any more losses by end of year? How many?
Maybe Ronald Perelman sits on the board of directors for Aristocrat Gaming.
Maybe Ronald Perelman sits on the board of directors for Aristocrat Gaming so he is eliminating competition for Aristocrat by consolidating then destroying competitors. CEO Kevin Hatchetman does not have to be a genius to step in to eliminate head... — read more
How it all went down
HR called us into a conference room. 3 techs, and our 2 supervisors. 3 layoffs, and 1 person who was off and couldn't make it in to be let go. We all got a severance. Health insurance good until the end of the month. Paid through today, the end of... — read more
Everyone will be sold off
WMS is redundant, haven't you guys learned yet? Nobody in this company is ever safe, not anymore. The fact OP thinks he has another 15 years is delusional. 8 billion will be paid with all of our salaries eventually. Everyone will be sold off, but... — read more
SGMS BALLY WMS SHUFFLE
The real question is, who "scored" by this unbelievable merger between SGMS/Bally/WMS/Shuffle. I think we all know the truth.... Wall Street hacks and corporate execs..... Quite a scam folks...
Gotta luv the modern CEO
When times are good he adds too much to the workforce and says "look at me, I'm doing so good I need to hire beaucoup new guys." Result: CEO gets big bonux When times are bad CEO cuts employees and says "look at me, I'm saving the company sooo much... — read more
Severence
What is the "severance agreement" like? used to be 2 weeks of pay for each year of service. this time though, they seem to have allocated 20 mil for this thing. Reposted from: @KcjoKKV-aeu
How do they notify you?
I haven't been notified yet, but I'm extremely nervous, as I suppose most of us are. The pressure is high, cause I'm the primary source of house income, plus I have this horrible feeling that I for certainly won't dodge this bullet. Does anyone know... — read more
Reported so far...
100 let go in Chicago, 10 in San Diego Studio, 60 to 80 in Alpharetta
Top Heavy
10% of the US payroll will be reduced. Company had over 300 VP titles with $200k salaries or more....too top heavy.
Sites impacted
Besides Las Vegas, which sites are impacted today? How many and which dep?
Buckle up, here it comes - cutting costs just announced
Q3 results published, better than the last one, but apparently not good enough as they also announced program for cutting costs by 75 million USD. They haven't announced how many jobs yet, but we'll find out soon enough... — read more
