However the dice might fall for me. The stress is unbearable.

Hey guys, I think the title pretty much explains it. You won’t be left jobless you would be jobless and carless so hoping getting an enhanced package.

I keep telling myself to stop thinking about it, but I can’t. I’m scared for my job and what’s coming. Haven’t even told my family yet, I don’t want to put this weight on them too. I just hope somehow this ends okay, for me and for everyone who’s... — read more 

Something quite sus going on, as they kept moving this call and now it falls on the dreaded date. Don’t know what to expect as they haven’t shared much info with us “regular” employees.

The cuts coming on 9/3 are in direct relation to the Q2 earnings call. The RIFs on 9/3 are going to be larger than previously expected because SF has asked her directs to pull forward the RIFs related to “2026 Org Health” targets that were supposed... — read more 

I thought this was funny. All I did was ask is Stephanie Farris liked? — here’s the unfiltered version of why a lot of people dislike Stephanie Ferris at FIS: • Worldpay Disaster – People feel she was part of leadership that massively overpaid... — read more 

This is the next meeting where they talk about the new portfolio model and yet, there is no info on what the structure will actually be. Will we be notified only on 9/3 if our leaders were let go?? The layoffs on 9/3 and the portfolio model must... — read more 

Is anyone else just holding their breath until next week’s layoffs? This past month has been one of the toughest I can remember. As a Director, I couldn’t even enjoy my holidays this month. I keep putting on a brave face for my family and my team... — read more 

Over the past year, what has actually been delivered under CDAIO leadership? All I see is endless discussion on netting without meaningful progress. Meanwhile, resources keep going to external consultants and tools that don’t seem to move the needle... — read more

FIS has developed a structure where the ratio of management roles far outweighs the size of the actual technical teams. Over time, this has led to many highly skilled technical contributors leaving the organization, while a significant number of... — read more 

With the org saying they are laying off 500 director levels and above. How many do we have at the moment. In my mind the ratio would be 10 reports to a director. 5 directors to a VP. 5 VPs to a SVP. An SVP would then have 250 subordinates. This is... — read more 

I miss those days.

Is this confirmed? the next RIF announcements are 9/3 this is the company wide big one at mid and upper management levels OP: @a5+1k36et84k

Does anybody know what's happening?

I haven’t heard anything. Nothing’s happening on my end so far. Here’s hoping the rumor was unsubstantiated.

Cutting more senior people would be a disaster. Projects piling up would struggle without anyone who actually knows the ropes. Fixing it later would take forever and probably cost a lot more than keeping them around now. Why is that so hard to grasp... — read more

If you are still employed at FIS, do yourself a favor and update your resume. It’s a tough job market out there and you need a head start or at least 3-4 months. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable and do better for yourself!

These are the next scheduled days for layoffs. Before I get the normal questions about who does it effect, I don't know. I work for a very mouthy SVP in tech dev and that's how I get my info because I get brought in to plan for when they lay a... — read more 

Glint survey results, employee morale, customer satistifcation, etc They don't care about these things. The CEO, CFO, head of TPO only care about 2 things: #1) the stock price #2) FIS' public image, and that's it, nothing else. Posting here is... — read more

At 3pm ET even if you are in a last minute HR teams meeting say: BEATLEJUICE! BEATLEJUICE! BEATLEJUICE! He's the only one who can help now. TGIF FROM THE BEACH! Mandatory summer Fridays till the end!

Answered honestly. Let’s see if it causes me to be RIFed. Someone has to tell the truth so might as well be me.

Is the new portfolio approach sent out by the CEO connected to another round of RIFs? Looks to me like a reason to drop even more management and employees to save costs. Any information on that?

A 9% drop in share price yesterday following earnings it’s clear the CEO and leadership team have lost credibility and need to go. The board must act now before more damage is done. Cost-cutting is on the table, look no further than Stephanie’s... — read more

Job security no longer exists here. If you want to keep your sanity, leave.

Those that have been let go, have you been able to negotiate your severance? It seems like it’s been 2 weeks for every year. Has anyone negotiated severance and actually received more?

I keep getting messages on weekly basis from people I work with saying they have been let go, no matter the years of experience or performance, it sounds just random . How long is this going to take everyone is stressed and scared?!
