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 working on your laptop, you are in danger of getting replaced by AI or cheaper labor.

Maybe you will think, okay, I'm an SME and I have unique domain knowledge, and I'm the 'valued retained team members". No, the messages you sent on Teams, the documents you saved on SharePoint and laptop, any work you do, are all training material for AI within this company (within any company having AI)

FIS keeps you today, not because of you being valuable, it's ONLY because of replacing you is A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE 'at this moment'. Please take a breath, give yourself a break, but don't get comfortable. Polish your resume, start networking, and look for a better job somewhere else.

It's always like this. Hunger games. How long before the next round? Who knows. Depends on which business you work for. There is a vicious cycle of layoffs and deteriorating service. If you have high layoff rate in your part of the org, very possible you are circling the drain. But then if you work for FIS or any of the likes, you should already know how it works.

So the message is - don't save any documentation on a company PC.

@a2 I don't know but, we should be prepared, it could be more. As the economics going down and AI getting stronger, no one is safe.

Do u think there will be second round this year .. ?
