#rif

Confirmed but unsure about the impacted departments and %

More layoffs for Windsor Lock this summer. It is going to be a long painful summer!!!!!!

Org has maybe 1 all-hands per year... only other times have been post RIF. Seems suspicious with the 7/16 rumor floating.

Glad the Times of India confirmed this from the annual report. So many people. SVP’s and above who ruthlessly cut people off will be in the next rounds of RIF’s.

Larry and that C-Suite do not care who you are.

I have come to have a disdain for RIF’s and the immortality of it all. Lesson. Take your PTO. Work your posted hours. Trust no one at this company. Career growth will only come from moving out not up here.

At some point the true character of leadership is what they tell us it is. They stop being people and “act” on behalf of “the company” and that is why no one at these big companies should care beyond the minimum.

Was this another round, or the last round?

Teammates were let go and replaced by offshore. The gossip was we pay Infosys less $5 per hour for offshore. There's no way onshore can compete.

Lots of closed doors this week along Director row. What has everyone heard about rifs in July for market level engineering GNT? We are mostly contractors at this point. How much more can they cut?

One reason I can think of is that FIS has been an undervalued stock, with its share price near a 15-year low. Investors haven’t been happy, and management is under pressure to show improvement. My assumption is that these actions will slow down once the stock starts performing better.
As for why they’re doing gradual cuts instead of one massive reduction, it could be to make the numbers look more like organic improvement rather than a drastic restructuring.
Having spent more than 10 years with the company, I feel that compared to some of our competitors, FIS hasn’t been performing as strongly. The easiest way to quickly improve financial metrics is to reduce operating expenses. However, I don’t fully agree with that approach.

Any other thoughts?

I feel sorry for the Zenzar and Cognizant newbies who weren’t already employees but are replacing RIF’d and non-rebadged staff.
Thrown into the deep end in some cases and with zero process training.
Better hope there’s some internal documentation to follow because if there’s anybody left to train them those people sure won’t have the time!

Workplace Survivor Syndrome. If everything is a priority nothing is. Delegation Segregation Discrimination.

Check the numbers in ARIA. It isn't the RIF that is causing the current drop.

Has anyone heard anything about RIF for WellMed tomorrow?

big issue. they want to move to start firing within a month without a social plan - payment&benefits on top of normal salary. its BIG NO NO here. legally they cannot do this. unions say its a joke and called ceo and the human resourses spineless. all this comes from mr cat in the bag.

I get it. This is hard. Nobody wants to see their team shrink, nobody wants uncertainty, and nobody signs up for a job hoping to navigate a VSP or a RIF (This is not a layoff folks).

But I've been watching this forum and I want to offer a different perspective, one I don't see getting much airtime.

Companies don't offer voluntary separation packages because they hate their employees. They do it because the alternative is involuntary. A VSP with real severance, extended benefits, and time to plan your next move is genuinely a sign of a company trying to do right by people, even when the business decision behind it is painful. They could have just surprised 20% of us with RIF notices on August 1st. You can disagree with the strategy and still recognize the humanity in how it's being executed.

The personal attacks on leaders here are something else entirely. These are human beings making decisions in a brutally difficult macro environment. One that no one fully controls. Venting is understandable. But some of what I'm seeing crosses a line that doesn't reflect well on us, not on them.

Some of what I have seen has honestly made me realize there are areas where this company can RIF, with some of the narrow sighted and uninformed nonsense I have seen these past couple of weeks.

We're professionals. We can be honest about how hard this is without burning the place down on the way out.

So I was part of the group on March 22 that was RIF’d but then forced to stay working until end of June and then quickly extended until end of August. It seems like the people RIF’d today are done as of today. I want that deal! Trying to stay working on the titanic is brutal and not good for mental health. Who the he-l is making these decisions?

Biggest impact will be in the Northeast by my understanding.

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 place.

For this round, approximately 90% of impacted employees will be notified by Thursday of this week, with a small number of notifications extending into next week due to colleagues being out on PTO.

Going forward, colleagues should expect RIFs around the same time each month. However, this month’s reduction is expected to be larger than usual, with a higher number of colleagues being affected.

Bumping this from @b6+1kvr3808t for info.

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.

With the shifts happening in R2B there will be far less impacts from B2B in the mid market space. Lots of the B2B accounts fall in the 10-35 space that the new R2B teams will own, and lots of cold calling from that team into the same space. Seems there is a lot of overlap in the territories, and lots of new folks with much lower comp than the holdouts with high seniority. They have been trying to weed out many in the B2B team via quotas, new PIP process, and just plain making their lives he-l at work until they quit. Seems like there will be some consolidation, especially in the outer markets and with the folks with higher seniority that have been too stubborn to leave. Anyone hearing anything?

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.

just read a comment where someone shared 3/4 of their team got RIF’d, they could not discuss it and had to continue working until their last day.

TF?? meaning they couldn’t flat out tell anyone they were being RIF’d? or just couldn’t go into the details of severance, etc.? can anyone who’s been RIF’d provide insight?

‘cause not being able to tell your colleagues you’re getting cut is wild AF.

I know one thing, Leadership better let us know who’s getting cut asap. I don’t need to know who got the VSP approved or who got RIF’d. I honestly do not care.

I need to know who’s staying and if I’m staying, how much work am I going to have to determine if I’m going to bounce…

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

Is this correct?

I believe tomorrow (6/23) is the notification day. Meetings usually get scheduled later in the evening for tomorrow morning

More rifs happened today

Anyone know how July 16 will impact Value?

IBM and Deloitte have closed the deal on Juneteenth day to takeover VZ IT. It would be a Centralized IT org to deliver the business requirements using Claude Code; hence you would see that your Gitlab repo has 1000+ developer access now(Go and check it out). VZ will do one more wave of RIF to reach the number of agreed workforce for rebadging and retain a small % in the IT.

If you think you're safe, I've got oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you. Nobody except the top brass is safe.

I've been hearing a lot of talk about more layoffs coming next month. At first I dismissed it, but the rumors keep getting louder. Does anyone have any actual information? Are these just rumors or is something really happening?

What will happen to ESG ?

Everyone with actual leadership ability has already left FIDO. The people running things now are only looking out for themselves. They don't care about the company or us. I'd leave today if not for the severance. With my salary and age, I'm almost positive I'll be cut within the next year.

Working extra hours and getting good reviews won't save you. If they want you out, you'll be gone.

I joined Citi in July last year, and since then it's been nothing but cuts, stress, increases in workload, and a plethora of other issues. Every time I thought it was over, something else happened. Is it always going to be like this? What are the chances of things improving at some point in the future?

They're moving away from layoffs and toward firings. I know several people let go for ridiculous reasons. It's getting worse.

Several people on our sales team were surplussed on Wednesday-all had good numbers compared to those of use that weren't impacted, our sales manager said that the selection process was above his pay grade and that she had no say what-so-ever in the selection, one of the sellers let go was the oldest person on the team, a white guy who was crushing it this year and had the highest production on the team, the other two who were let go were also older members of the team , on e them was third on the team in production. Those of us left are newer to the team and are glad we were spared but are trying to understand how this selection process works

I'm sorry to all the people who were RIFed on 6/16. What date did the company give as your last day?

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, or is this just the new normal?

At this point, I’d rather be included in a RIF now while severance packages are still relatively generous.

So tired of this, let me work or let me go

Has anyone had any dealings with the senior head of HR? My understanding is he is the one pushing RIFS, and a reason behind this increasingly toxic place. He wants RIFS everywhere but has the most toxic people leading HR teams.

While I have survived tons of RIFs, I have never seen this company or the company I came from when we merged, offer a VSP. I’m tired. I’m sick. I am ready to leave so I applied.

Anyone else did? Yes? No? Considering? Thoughts or theories about this? Share it!!
