Great Colleagues
In a tough environment, your colleagues can really make a difference. With all of the rapid fire changes, collaborative, experienced and, sure, funny colleagues are what helps the most.
Fintech is not a bad industry
Just because FIS is a disaster doesn't mean the industry as a whole is. Explore the companies on this list. Find your niches and apply to these companies. https://www.forbes.com/lists/fintech50/
Hang on or Get out?
It is so subjective, isn't it? Use the information that you have and do what is best for you and your loved ones. Clinging to the notion of getting severance has caught up more than a few. Then, surprise, your severance is lost due to a relocation of... — read more
If you've got any skills at all, get out
I can't say this strongly enough: if you have any skills, any talent, any ambition...leave this place. It's a dumpster fire that will only drag you down. Get out and don't look back.
Hang on
FIS is going through another realignment, and based on the company’s recent financial guidance and continued focus on reducing costs, It is estimate there’s about a 65–75% chance that another round of layoffs will follow.That doesn’t necessarily mean... — read more
Has any manager actually tried to boost morale?
Not with town halls, but real conversations about things getting better? It seems like they're hoping the issue will fix itself.
Company of bootlickers
Worked with Technical Architect Lead who did not even know difference between relational database and S3 buckets. If you are a bootlicker, then have a good growth in this company.
“BlackRock Inc. Acquires 44,501,041 of FIS Shares”
That’s from yesterday. What to make of that?
All Hands Meeting next Thursday
Who knows what will be shared? None of it will be true, but it will be interesting.
Q3 action?
The stock hasn't been able to gain (or hold onto) much ground and the close of Q3 looms. Anyone hearing about more RIFs coming? Do we have dates? I know we're always on alert and no day is safe, but I'm talking about confirmed plans beyond just the... — read more
No Respect Given
They can’t even tell us in Digital if they are going to extend us again past 8/31, but we’re supposed to just sit here and take it to get severance
Sales - Giving Notice (resigning)
Given the constant changing policies at FIS, does anybody know what happens when a sales person gives two weeks notice? Does your access get cut same day? Do they pay out the two weeks? No PTO to get paid out unless you live in certain states. If... — read more
The FIS way
The best employees get blamed and cut while the lazy, gossipy, rude ones get protected. Why does it work this way?
Interns RIFed
Reporting this from Jacksonville FL office that three Interns who joined straight from college campus were RIF'ed. Clearly management want certain people as employees.
Let's be clear about why FIS senior leaders read this site
It isn't to get insight into ideas to improve the business and employee relations. It's about trying to figure out who is posting confidential information here. They want to know who is leaking.
FIS stopped paying redundancy compensation
Does anyone have clarity on how redundancy pay is calculated in Australia? In Singapore, FIS paid 1 month's salary for each year of service to employees who were made redundant. In Australia, it looks like FIS is following the government-mandated... — read more
The culture of fear
I'm the only one on my team who isn't terrified of losing their job. Everyone else is a robot, keeping their head down, acting submissive, silent, and never pushing back. It's depressing to see.
Dystopian compliance course
We were assigned an "active assailant preparedness" compliance course and it feels so dystopian. A bad AI is telling me to "prepare to survive". It implied some people are emotionally unstable and might get violent if you discuss current... — read more
What would make things better for you?
Honest question. I see so much dissatisfaction here. Im one of the dissatisfied too. I know execs come here to read what we really have to say. Maybe we can take a sec to anonymously tell them what would help and see if they actually care to listen... — read more
Holiday Vacation Schedules
Just make an educated guess when asked. Who knows where anyone will be for the holidays, it feels like a long ways away.
There is still a chance to get RIFed in Q3 2026!
Not breaking any news, but this quarter ain't over yet!
Do you want to get RIFed in Q4?
FIS has history of RIF-ing employees in Q4. That way you lose year worth of 401K match. Market is slow in hiring. Most companies are in holiday mode. Usually this is done as revenge against employees.
Don’t wait just leave
Joined FIS not long after Covid, things were honestly great the first year or so. Got to own things, got to work on innovative stuff. But then came the reorgs and senior leadership changes. The rest was history, everything went to sh-t for the next... — read more
Similar, but not matching at Salesforce
Salesforce is undergoing layoffs in a story familiar to all here: top, tenured staff targeted, no logic to changes, H1b questions, etc. Maybe this isn't as different as it feels or all executives just stupid, selfish @ssholes?
Staring down the end of 3Q 2026
What surprises lie in store? What choices are being made to manage the end of quarter numbers? Not for employee benefit certainly, but to make the board think that real work is being done. Shudder.
How to: Open RIF case with TPO
In Microsoft Teams , go to Copilot tab. Type.. Open a case with TPO. This will provide you link to open HR case.

I raised a HR case to get RIF'ed. In one hour my manager sent me meeting invite. We discussed the terms and on amicable terms my position was made redundant. I was given full severance package as per terms in FIS Handbook. My Location is Alpharetta... — read more
This is the goal
How are we supposed to function when every month they have these last minute meetings, so encrypted, laying thousands of us off, with no regard to the affects on those that actually generate income??? You're not supposed to function. This is... — read more
Lack of Leadership
I've watched leadership celebrate American values publicly while overseeing the outsourcing of thousands of American jobs. Recently, our CEO said, I am proud to be an American because this country was founded on the principle that ordinary people... — read more

Been following the thread on today's business update, but noticed this article after a separate online search... https://www.paymentsdive.com/news/fis-seeks-to-sell-parts-of-capital-markets-unit/826952/
Steph needs a rebadge opportunity of her own
If that happens, who is likely to succeed her? Would it be another clown or someone who actually knows how to drive the ship?
What is rebadging?
What does it mean? I'm sorry if this is common knowledge, but this is my first job and I've been at it for just over a year, I have no idea what it refers to.
8/3 "Business update" meeting just received
Curious if anyone is aware of whats happening today. Just received this at 7:50 am for today... Digital

The bully brigade
