In this week's episode, legacy FT staff are still applying for their old jobs at FT. Making it to an interview is impressive enough since no one knows what criteria is being used. If one actually does interview, it is with colleagues fresh off the... — read more 

My manager told me today that I need to let someone on my team go as part of a cost-cutting effort, and that I’m expected to notify them next Wednesday. I don’t agree with this decision. My team is already working excessive hours dealing with... — read more

Decline in value 3 consecutive days. Time to let the board activists drive real change - let’s get on with accelerating the next two chapters for gods sake.

Were you honest with the latest Glint Survey that came out today for the all staff meeting next week? I was, and will it impact me future? If it does then I know for sure this company is not the last place I will ever work.

There is a lot of knowledge out there. More than a few know about upcoming layoff dates for FIS associates still servicing the FT contract. If not the dates, then the outcome. It would be a real kindness to let those expecting to be laid off know... — read more

I got offered a job in a small startup. Less than 30 employees. They're doing great right now, and the offer is really good, but I'm so worried. While job security here is an issue, with startups the whole company can go under in a heartbeat. I have... — read more 

I recall the person who announced the end of the year layoffs from last year got the date 100% correct. They had also mentioned layoffs for next week (if im not mistaken). Is this plausible, any knowledge or input on this is helpful. I imagine if... — read more 

I am in my early thirties and have been here long enough to see how fast things shift. FIDO still opens doors when recruiters scan a resume, but that window feels smaller each year. I am focusing on learning what I can and staying realistic about how... — read more 

In the last couple of weeks, two senior managers on my floor have left voluntarily. Their departures weren't part of any announced layoff, and they both gave standard notice. The fact that senior-level people are choosing to leave so closely together... — read more 

My heart bleeds for them.

It’s funny how uncertainty flips a switch. Suddenly my resume’s polished, alerts are on, and I’m paying attention again, looking for any opportunity to leave. Not exactly the motivation I wanted, but I’ll take it.

This thread is for info about potential FNIS layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Anyone know anything about it? It sounds so cheery. I know enough about FIS to be suspicious.

FIS lost the FT TA contract, their largest which includes Customer Service because they could not successfully provide the kind of service that FT financial professionals and their shareholders were used to receiving. FIS platforms su-k, the rollout... — read more

It's getting pretty empty around here lately. Several of the sharpest people on my team just left for much better offers. And if they managed to get better offers in this job market, you know they're good. It's frustrating because a simple... — read more

Confirmed for Digital come January. They've stripped this organization down to nothing, and are so incompetent they can't put any meaningful roadmap or plans into place. This place is truly disgusting and leadership are cowards.

Is the main responsibility of KB hosting those town halls? It feels like she does them every two weeks. Do they have nothing better to do with the state of the company now?

Getting less money in your budget next year? Should be no surprise, but expect more or less in the development world because of it. It’s a simple formula that the budget pays for salaries and if you have less money than you will have less... — read more 

Heads up. If you're in a state that makes companies pay PTO after termination, look at your final check. They paid roughly 1/10th my actual PTO and calculated the hours wrong. Email them now before you sign any severance.

Layoffs, lean projects, slow attrition, all of it stretching into FY26. Budgets are down across teams, and even if you survive the cuts, raises and bonuses are going to be miniscule or won't even happen. Being kept on doesn’t mean things look... — read more

Someone posted that today (12/3) is a RIF day. But I haven’t heard that. Are any of those infamous 15 minutes meetings been scheduled?

Anyone know what are the dates for RIFs in December (if any) and January?

People leaving in droves. I don’t think this place will hold together much longer. The whole vibe truly feels like prep for a sale.

Were any in the reseller alliance channel? I have heard of a couple there. Is this area going away?

It’s interesting going through the financial crimes compliance training. Bob Toohey has definitely violated conflicts of interest and nepotism/cronyism. Probably a bunch of others too.
