The high number of RIFs and poorly run ‘transfer to contractor’ (a clear RIF later but without severance) are both obvious signs of a company about to collapse. I blame the board and I blame senior management for letting it get this bad. The share... — read more
Recent Job Title Changes & Cognizant
The recent job title changes were not a coincidence - these were done to setup an easier transfer of staff to Cognizant.
Cognizant Lawsuit For Discrimination of US workers

For folks being pushed to accepting a job with another company.
For folks being pushed to accepting a job with another company. If your employer has consistently paid severance to employees in the past, in a manner that led you to reasonably believe severance was a part of your employment arrangement. You will... — read more
The number of views is impressive, over 17500 for one post alone
Many of the posts have views in the 3000 plus range today alone. It seems that people are sharing this site. There is power in sharing accurate information. There is another call tomorrow. Would someone attending please post about it? Be kind to... — read more
Careful planning deprives employees of severance
That was a particularly sh---y thing to do. It would seem that there were many long term employees eligible. Someone did the math and decided to create a plan to avoid paying it. At the very least, the severance took some of the sting and created a... — read more
People are not interchangeable economic units
No matter how often you refer to us as “resources”
If you're safe today, congratulations, but don't get too comfortable
FIS strategy has shifted to AI-first, instead of people matters. No matter if AI is just an excuse for cost reduction or not, if you're safe today, don't get comfortable, prepare your Plan B or Plan C. We as a tech company, as long as your job is... — read more
Sick out until Stephanie resigns?
I'm tired of working here anyway.
How many VP's with their bloated wages are going?
After the worst day working for this company in over 10 years I want to know how many VP's are losing their jobs? I am a 'lucky' one and am staying as an FTE but I feel sick about what has happened today and the spineless way the VP's handled the... — read more
Corporate monsters, demons and pigs
Over the course of the last year, I watched as my friends were blasted away. A feeling not unlike sitting in a trench, the sirens begin, foxholes are filled, and some unlucky chosen never make it back. While dramatic, this is the feeling I get with... — read more
Layoffs/transfer out timeline and numbers
My SVP told me 1k employees will be RIF’d and 1k will transfer out. There will be a phased approached to more in 3 months time when transition has completed and more expected then OP: @a3+1kmgk61vh Just came across this somewhere in... — read more
I feel sick to my stomach
I don't want to move to Cognizant. I'll quit. Which I know is playing right into their hand, but so be it.
How many people got transferred to other companies and how many got laid off?
Anyone know the numbers?
Not as bad as it first sounded? Or they wanted chaos?
Yesterday we understood from the call that EVERYONE in the PS,CIO , DEV (except a few people) will be moving to 3rd party companies or let go, but today many people from all impacted groups are already retained, was this poorly communicated or they... — read more
FIS SUX! Highly Disappointed in our execs.
Need a class -action lawsuit against these id--ts! FIS mgmt. should be the folks leaving not the hard working class. I am betting we'll be forced to accept roles with Cognizant to keep a paycheck coming in only to get sc--wed within a year from now... — read more
Time to unionize
Well guys, should we consider unionizing now or wait until they either outsource all of our jobs to India or replace us with AI
Who wants to share?
For those not attending, what is the news? Best of luck all around!
Just sp-t balling here, what if...
everyone (USA only) massively applied for a Family Medical Leave Act, Leave of Absence (FMLA LOA) first thing in the morning? It's just a suggestion. It would need to be done via the MetLife website. Kinda kidding, kinda not.

Terrible Leadership
At what point do they get rid of the Stephanie and her people? The stock is down 33% in the last year, 66% in 5 years. 2/3rds of the company disappeared. This company is going down the drain, are they not seeing it or what??
So invites are already going out?
Good luck to everyone.
I'm 'this close' to asking my manager to add me to the list
I swear I'm so over this place. It's better being laid off than having layoffs every few months. It's wracking our mental health. It seems like it's never enough anymore. There's always a need to cut even more people. I'm not sure I can last in such... — read more
"Company Wide Riff's" occurring before end of month
Hearing from management that there are expected to be riff's this week and that all area's of the company are in the scope.
Outsourcing everything
There was a very disjointed and brief call today, with no questions allowed to be asked, stating FIS is going to outsource almost all parts of the business.
After this BS - O Rama, who is ready for the weekend?
Is anyone enjoying their breaks?
Goodbye Firdaus :'(
As we are now officially without the CTO... is this the last moment to leave this company?
FIS 52 week high and low $46.16 - $82.74
That is within the last 52 weeks. The YTD is -25.24%.
50.23 USD -91.51 (-64.56%) past 5 years
That’s it. That’s the post.
Poorly sourced scoop for March 17th, maybe March 18th will be the unlucky number?
No actual information, just trying to keep the party going. Overheard it the Ladies Room, from one of our hard working maintenance people. They probably know more and are better prepared to run this business than anyone in the C suite. (Absolutely... — read more
Scoop for March 17th- Reorg or Layoffs or both
What is happening tomorrow?
FIS is replacing employees with H1B

This is too accurate

FT: And now the end is near
Phone skills have been transferring back to FT. Website calls will move back on 03/23/2026. That leaves Retirement and Shareholder calls at FIS. After the filing deadline of 04/15/2026, those calls should move over, that date is not confirmed yet... — read more
HR Double Standards
The current approach to promotions highlights a troubling double standard. HR has proceeded with promotions within its own ranks including VP to SVP and reversed role classifications from Senior Manager back to Director, even though the rest of the... — read more
FT contract
The contract will be revoked and all the people servicing FT will lose their jobs, that's how this farce is going to end. They keep firing experienced people for a bit of saving and hiring unqualified juniors in their place. This is not a valid... — read more
The list of problems keeps growing
Let me run through the state of things. Talented staff are quitting. The ones who stay aren't keeping up with inflation. Some are getting let go anyway. Those of us left are doing triple duty. Clients feel the drop in quality and they're letting us... — read more
Any information on promotions and merit increases?
I heard people are being told about their bonuses, merit increases and promotions in March and it will take effect in July. Is that true? Please share any information you have or your experience if you got this update.
