Honestly so sick of this. Working all hours, smashing it every time, and no one even notices. Get glowing "coaching" reviews and then I'm still sat here waiting to get binned off for no reason. Living day by day, hour by hour, waiting for the axe to fall. Proper done in

Just wait til they play games to you to put you on their "cut" lists.
I've seen people literally go from "star" to "needs improvement" in the span of an in-year review. Not because the outcomes or the person's attitude changed, but because a VP needed to cover their own failures and try to save themselves by throwing someone else under the bus.
The most demoralizing part then is when you see the VP get canned nonetheless but the review for that person never changed because the VP wanted to change a narrative, and then that person gone during the next RIF cycle.
You can fight for those people all you want in the room where the decisions happen, but they've become damaged goods because of the toxic self-serving behavior of others, and there's nothing you can do about it since fake documentation was made.
The toxicity at FIS is insane. Get out while you can proactively.
I can relate to this more than I’d like to admit. Consistently positive feedback, excellent reviews, long hours and a track record of delivering results year after year, only to be discarded without a second thought. After years of being recognised as a high performer by management, the way it ended was both shocking and deeply disappointing. It felt like a calculated decision made with very little regard for the person on the receiving end.
