Has anybody determined what is happening to our 401K match that we are entitled to up to our "transfer" date of 04/12/2026? This was not a voluntary resignation so I would assume we are still due our match. So do I have to leave my 401K with Fidelity... — read more
Anyone else secretly hoping for a layoff?
I don’t have the guts to quit, but if they did it for me, it would make the decision easy. That’s where I am right now.
They cut our team to nothing
Then put some corporate lackey in charge who added endless rules and rewarded toxic people. And now those few of us left are desperately looking for a way out. I'm honestly not sure how is this a net positive for FIS.
Short timers?
It is impossible to care about work that has an end date in the immediate future. The motivation to your best, to train others or to spend time considering better ways to perform has been destroyed. How is everyone with an end date handling this?... — read more

No turnaround.. just waiting for buyers
The products are outdated. Technology is outdated. The technology managers are useless, pretty much id--ts. The management has no intent to develop innovative products. The intent is clear to get rid of all the onshore employees. Let the offshore... — read more
Franklin Templeton employees get no information prior to layoff date
Their layoff date is 04/27/2026, next Monday. Beyond that, no information has been provided to employees including managers about what will happen next Monday. The last calls will be transferred back to FT, the employees have been told that they will... — read more
They're breaking everything
And it'll be a miracle if anything is still functioning in the near future. Some teams have been almost completely destroyed by the recent moves. What's the actual end game here?
Ripped from the headlines at FIS
This is a true story. Had been working through an issue with the help of the TPO. As it was almost wrapped up, about ten weeks later, I reached back out via email to the person who had assisted. As the email was being typed, the Out of Office message... — read more
What is the difference between Cognizant and Zenzar?
Color me curious.
Cognizant-FIS Workday End Date
New Cognizant employee, still had access to FIS Workday. It has a contract end date of 11/30/2026.
It's fascinating to watch how much talent and potential gets squandered
Every single person here is unique, with something real to contribute. Specific experiences, distinct ways of solving problems, a whole stack of knowledge and skills built over time. You'd think that would make us the most valued asset in any... — read more
Collect a Salary While Looking For Another Job
There is no Future at FIS, Cognizant, or Zensar, so there is no reason to work hard or look for advancement. There is no point in straining yourself to train your replacement. Just do the least that you can do to get by and nothing more. It is time... — read more
How can I get my W2 as a former employee
This is a really d-mb place to ask this but since I know this will get eyes... I am a former employee who had an incorrect address listed under my FIS workday to get around the RTO policy. How can I get at my W2 now? I haven't worked there in like... — read more
I'll just use being formally employed to search for a job
I don't think either FIS or Cognizant, if I end up rebadged in the next round, will see any serious work from me.
For the weekend, a binge
After another long sh---y week, consider watching Big Mistakes on Netflix, from Dan Levy of Schitt's Creek, a new offering. It's very funny. Anyone else watching anything fun to distract from the horror?
When will they hit us with the next round?
Anyone have any idea? I'm in such a bad spot that I'm clinging to this job for dear life. I wouldn't even be able to begin searching for another job. I just need a couple of months until the dust settles.
It’s time to leave
This company is going down, the job market isn’t nearly as bad as what people are saying. You are so smart! There are companies that value your time and won’t fight you to make progress. It’s time to send out applications. It’s not worth staying here... — read more

FIS to $25? Where does it stop?
In the past 5 days FIS is down 5% and the Nasdaq is up 4.5%.
Zensar Belgrade Office
It seems that most of the people in Serbia refused the move to the Zensar because the comtract is much worse than FIS. Managers started to threaten the employees. Whats the situation in other offices?

New Indian Hire Ravi Karanam
So another Indian hired Ravi Karanam. Tarun Bhatnagar was paid huge joining bonus. How much this dude get? The game is clear - Get rid of long time workers and make your friends rich. Shame on FIS Management.
Can someone please sum it up?
I read so many posts here and still have some questions… Those that were riffed were given until June 30th to work and then get severance package. Those that were rebadged have 12 months contract? Does the pay remain the same? Do you... — read more
Old titles still active, next for RIFs?

Grow up
Some of y’all really need to grow up. Layoffs happen, it’s never personal. No-one at the top has specifically chosen you to go for any reason other than a number. FIS doesn’t owe you anything to keep you.
What will next week bring?
I'm at the point where I'm dreading each Monday because I'm not sure what they'll drop on us. Will it be layoffs, loss in benefits, or whatever else they can think of to make our lives more miserable. God, I hate this place.
The only reason to go along with rebadging is to buy a little more time
I've been job hunting for months. Calling the market "slim pickings" is generous, and it's only going to get worse. We're heading toward a place where beggars can't be choosers. Anything, anywhere, for any amount of time, will have to do.
If you are celebrating, Happy Easter
Passover was a few days ago. Any global company will have employees celebrating this spring. Whatever provides some time with family, friends and loved ones, sending out peace, strength and solace.

Is it time for FIS Tech Dev to Unionize

Did the FAQs hint at another RIF in a few months?
Does anyone have any knowledge or clarity on whether these RIFs would continue this year? The FAQs that were sent this week seemed to indicate this although they keep saying that the vast majority of employees have been retained by FIS. Any info on... — read more
If you can, go out on FMLA. Get a doctor to get you a mental recovery month.
Sure would be a great time to take FMLA for anyone that can. It puts your job on hold and they cannot legally release you during that time.
