Does anyone know if lay offs are over for now?

Got pulled into a call with my manager and told I was laid off with 25min before access was revoked. That's nowhere enough time to handle critical knowledge transfers and other responsibilities. What is the plan when things start falling apart... — read more 

WTF. A pre-recorded call to let people go is the most cowardly way to treat employees. People have given countless hours to this company, and this is how they’re repaid? The company is clearly going downhill if this is the standard of leadership and... — read more 

Is that how notifications are going out?

I am sorry if you have been notified today and hope you find that your next role is far better than this company has offered you! It would be helpful to know what function or org you are with if you have been notified without giving who you are away!... — read more 

The only silver lining is that severance seems to be staying as is. That's always been my biggest concern when layoffs happen.

The company will conduct reductions in force (RIFs) each month. There is a targeted headcount reduction that must be achieved based on forecasts designed to demonstrate that operating expenses are being managed and financial controls are in... — read more 

Any way to know how many are still left to be notified?

Looking for words of encouragement to share that don't sound like bumper stickers. There is lots of support here, use it.

I asked to be riffed instead of rebadging with cognizant. HR agreed after threatening to treat it as volunteer resignation. Now I will be riffed as of June 30.

I’m in IBS Core. TPM (tech product management)… one of the product owners. Are we getting RIF’d or laid off? Everyone under my manager has the same meeting tomorrow, including my manager.

I willl be interested to see if the 13% and the RIFs are the work of the troll.

We have to separate fact from opinion. SF was CFO of WP when FIS acquired WP. She was appointed COO with a primary responsibility of integration of WP and FIS. Integration was so bad FIS paid an additional 950 million in 2022 for acquisition and... — read more 

Is this correct? I believe tomorrow (6/23) is the notification day. Meetings usually get scheduled later in the evening for tomorrow morning @a5+1kvr3808t

This uncertainty is ki-ling me. Folks on this thread have talked about 13% of the workforce being RIF'd, multiple teams expected to be impacted and most of it being initiated today. Yet, not many have said a word about receiving that uncomfortable... — read more 

This is very sad that most of the companies are adapting to new tech like AI and laying off due to improvements but at FIS a "BIG BANKING PRODUCT" related company people are being laid off due to poor management

Just a short note to wish everyone good luck at this stressful time. Losing your job is scary but here are some things worth remembering if you get the chop. It’s not personal, it’s not a judgement on your ability, work ethic or personality. It’s... — read more 

If you are impacted it would help to understand the BU, team or even location. The company is too big to try and figure what jobs are impacted this time around. Thx!

It seems some posts show around 9000 views then the next day or so show a much smaller number. Merely curious, there at so many views right now as the date of the next purported layoffs (Tuesday) loom. Many have been generous with inside... — read more 

What were they thinking? I look around at who's still here and who's gone and it's clear the best people are out and the worst people are still in. How did that happen? Either the decision makers only looked at spreadsheets or they're deliberately... — read more 

I know several people who were riffed in June, and there are still rumors of larger global RIFs coming in July and August. For those who make it through these rounds, whats the outlook for the rest of 2026? Do these cycles eventually come to an end... — read more 

Wondering when I should start looking out. Waiting for the layoff meeting is always a good time!

And all completed next week

Does anyone know, if you take all your vacation for the year and then get laid off, do you have to pay back the part you haven't accrued yet?

FIS has layers and layers of Management. Basically these managers contribute zero value addition. Have never seen Ajay Goud, Ajay Gupta or Ramanand speak a single word during meeting. They hardly participate in technical discussions. If Elon Musk... — read more 

Heard from reliable sources, management discussing to end 401K match in July this year. Otherwise will be done starting 2027

How could you trust anything that this board is doing to the firm !! Never mind a trust officer. Let’s line somebody else’s pocket with options and bonuses

Is this Invest Cloud partnership in Wealth all smoke and mirrors? Is wealth being sold to Invest Cloud?

It's over for all of us here anyway.

My SVP has said next week on Tuesday is expected to be the largest rif action Can anybody confirm this?

I can't get interviews for roles that match my experience, so I've been applying for entry level jobs just to get some money coming in, since severance is melting away. Each one of them said I'm overqualified and would leave too fast. So what am I... — read more

The week it's going down apparently. Directors+ targeted again and several other Tech Dev roles will be eliminated completely. Plus an additioanl saving's target that will reduce the remaining head count.

This place isn't worth my health or my peace of mind. What happens, happens. I've gotten out of bad situations before, I can do it again. I refuse to look back later and regret losing sleep and energy over a job that doesn't deserve it.

Senior management have absolutely no idea how to run a tech company. They repeatedly try the only playbook they have, which is to cut costs by laying people off whilst paying consultants millions to do their jobs, which seems to be simply latching on... — read more
