@ee Is that you? Stephanie.
Do we know if they are hitting Kordoba dev and PM?
@ee You must be a manager.
@e7 it’s already proving it can. Huge resource cost savings ahead. Unpopular but true
@dk I believe they are hitting Dev hard this time. Presumably someone thinks (if any of them think at all) that AI can do dev cheaper!
@dk can confirm, that matches my information.
@ae they are targeting "administrative" roles. Project management, people management and bizarrely agile roles given they just spent a fortune standardising value stream implementations.
@OP they've gotta be aiming at a sale of the company, probably in parts. There is no way there are thinking of the long-term wellbeing of the company. The stock is trash, they are firing everyone. All short-term moves. Stephanie is either filling out her pockets and bankrupting the company or selling it.
@a6 this might have triggered the departure of the top legal counsel. He might have had enough or tried to advise a different route. When your attorney bails, it is the waving flag from Le Miz being held up.
@av The report apparently does not have a selection for dates. So it only gives the output based on current day data in the system.
@as There is a report in workday named “FIS Active Employees and Contingent Workers Count by country”
You don’t even need to have a special permission to run that report. I just ran it 5 mins back and the count is as follows :
FTE - 49,111
Contingent Workers - 10,183
I don’t know where you got this 33k-44k figure for FTe’s.
@aq I wonder how the numbers change if you future-dated the report to July 1st? The pending terminations for June 30 should be in the system
@ak - Right, so FIS is not breaking WARN requirements by laying off a segment (no matter how big) because we don't have offices for the most part. WARN would apply IF FIS closed the Jacksonville or Milwaukee office, which is not what has happened in the past. When offices were closed the staff were not RIF'ed - they were changed to remote workers.
No such report available unless you are an executive. It is not even identified in their quarterlies. The guesses online are FTE is 33-44k. FTE for FIS is under 30k and will be getting a lot smaller soon.
Where "Two or More" Matters: The 90-Day RuleUnder the federal framework, the word "group" does not mean a couple of people; it means a distinct batch or round of layoffs.
If a company needs to lay off 60 people from a single site, they might try to avoid filing a WARN notice by breaking the layoffs into smaller rounds. The law anticipates this:
Round 1 (Group A): The company lays off 25 people on Day 1. (This is below the 50-person trigger, so no notice is given).
Round 2 (Group B): The company lays off another 35 people on Day 45. (This is also below the 50-person trigger).
Because these two groups of separations happen within a rolling 90-day window, the law mandates that they must be added together ((25 + 35 = 60)). Because the combined total hits the mandatory threshold of 50, the WARN Act is retroactively triggered. The employer is then legally liable for failing to give a 60-day advance notice to both groups.
How Remote Workers Are Sited (The 3-Part Test)Remote employees are not treated as independent, single-person sites. Under DOL WARN Act Regulations, a remote employee's home office is legally linked to a physical company site by evaluating three criteria:
The Source of Work: The physical office or site from which the remote worker's tasks, projects, or assignments are generated and distributed.
The Reporting Line: The physical location where the remote employee's direct manager or supervisor is based.
The Home Base: The primary corporate hub where the employee's corporate payroll, operational HR profile, or main administrative support is managed.
If a company lays off 100 remote employees who all report to managers at a single corporate headquarters, those 100 remote workers are aggregated into that headquarters' headcount. This will trigger a federal WARN notice even if none of them have ever stepped foot in the actual building.
As per workday employee count report there are currently 49K FTE globally and 10K contingent workers(contractors). 13% of workforce reduction will be around 6300+ employees. That’s a huge number compared to the bloodbath in March.
@a6 I found this online :
When is it required?
A notice is legally required if an employer is:
Closing a facility: Shutting down a specific site that results in 50 or more full-time workers losing their jobs.
Conducting a mass layoff: Laying off 50 to 499 workers (if they make up at least one-third of the workforce) or laying off 500 or more workers at a single location
Are we thinking it’ll be other teams than March or will the same teams be impacted?
Warn act is simple 2 or more employees.Not sure where you get 500 employees.And being majority are remote, very easy for the WARN Act to kick in.Sadly, this company has bypassed it for 3 years so still awaiting lawsuits for that along with fines.This company is beyond down the drain for liabilities.
@OP Wouldn’t the WARN Act requirements be triggered if more than 500 employees are affected?
