We’ve become a joke. A punchline. At this point, I wouldn’t even be sorry to turn my back on this place.

I just want to do my actual job and go home. Instead, I spend hours in meetings where nothing gets accomplished, where we generate more questions than answers, and where people just complain about things that no one is going to fix. It is exhausting and completely pointless.

All anybody cares about here is making more money for those on top. We're not even an afterthought.

Do they not realize that happy workforce equals profits and unhappy one brings major drops in productivity? It's been proven again and again. What's their aim here? To keep making us more and more miserable until what? We quit? Is that what this is all about?

Share price in decline consecutively for years

Portfolio in decline for years

Talent in decline for years

CEO & Leadership team in decline for years

Longest period of no raises in any major IT company - they must hold the record

No strategic direction for years

I could go on and on, it is this the worst company out there?

The reviews are going to be devastating when the survey comes out immediately after managers are forced to deliver the SLT messages with a smile and keep opinions to themselves. The messenger is going to get the blame and I wonder if this is by design by SLT for justifying another round. My group has at least twice as many chapter leaders as we need if teams are going to become 10-25 people instead of smaller squads. What will happen to them all?

Cutting bonuses drastically by raising metrics incrementally every year, until they're just out of reach. Q1 2026 quarterly bonus dropped $1500 for me compared to other quarters and my performance increased this year. The base isn't the best, so you have to rely on bonuses to make up for it. All that makes people want to do it put in less effort, which I'll be doing.

AW in his TH in Asia Pacific is so full of himself. It just goes to show how out of touch the leaders are. Employees, you are nothing but a commodity, like a cow or horse for sale. Imagine telling the entire population who were present that your wife accompanied you on the trip (which is fine) and was out sightseeing and shopping, while you messaged to the livestock why they are being sold. And sarcastically replying to one employee who asked about what's left with his job scope. For those impacted, stay positive, you might be better off in the new company. Chevron has zero interest in Asia Pacific.

if we are in same circle going on and on with demoralizing layoffs, same stupid upper managements who has no clue or leadership quality, no new design of revolutionary shoes and direction then Nike's clock is ticking as we speak.

EH and new admin has here past 18 months. And 3 to 6 months will put his admin past 2 years. If they cannot come out new strategy, design and campaign with Nike's resource then we can say that EH is not right person. Or bluntly put, a failed turnaround CEO.

IF EH admin. cannot come out with new direction any time soon then Nike will be in deep sh-t and time to look for someone new.

We have no money for you it belongs to the Execs.

DXC Technology reported that EVP, CES Venkataraman Ramanathan received an equity grant in the form of restricted stock units. The award covers 158,155 shares of common stock, granted at no cash cost per share as part of compensation.

Each RSU converts into one share of common stock when it vests. The RSUs are scheduled to vest in three equal annual installments beginning May 12, 2027, spreading the benefit over several years. After this award, Ramanathan holds a total of 244,935 shares of common stock, including unvested RSUs.

How much worse can it get than the situation I'm in now? Constantly worrying about cuts, dealing with an abusive manager who thinks fear is a legitimate managing tool, and being significantly underpaid compared to market. If I'm laid off, I'll be jobless but my future will look more promising than the one I see if I stay here.

They keep proving this every single day.

Whenever I sit in on a team meeting, nobody talks. Nobody volunteers ideas. Nobody seems to care. And when people stop caring, the company stops working. I think we're watching the slow collapse.

I'm carrying the team while three people next to me do nothing. Hard work isn't rewarded here. So why am I still ki-ling myself?

Junk company

The layoffs are always happening. The changes never stop. The goals are made up. Nothing makes sense. I've never seen a place so consistently designed to make people miserable. I think they want us to quit.

Wasn't just rumors for the group I'm in. Teams is full of people sharing what time their calendar invite that just came in is for with HR + some leader. Everyone promising to give each other recommendations if needed, posting personal emails and phone numbers just in case, etc.

Don't know the count yet. Waiting to see if/what time my meeting will be. Bad vibes for sure.

The rumors weren't wrong for everyone.

Now I think they actually enjoy it. The cruelty isn't a side effect. It's the goal.

State farm been getting over on everyone lately when hear it is we pay our bill faithfully every month but can't help customers that pay that bill every month my house was had water damage that mess up my daughter and son room they try to offer me 500 dollars what is that going to do get some materials ok they told me it was my roof I got it fix out of pocket and they didn't want to help me fix my children ceiling I wish I never ever dealt with them

I'm leaving, and I can tell you right away I won't miss the endless approvals, the ancient systems that break daily, or watching my coworkers lose their minds. I was hired to build new things and spent four years keeping old junk running. This place broke me.

Pay is below market, raises don't exist, and talent gets zero recognition. With all the layoffs, individual contributors are doing management work on top of their own jobs. Meanwhile everything keeps getting offshored. There's literally nothing positive about this place.

I accepted a long time ago that this job is a dead end. I'm ready. I'll figure something out.

I started in 2010 under the Rust years. The golden years of State Farm. Ed treated every employee like family. I worked in the old Mid America Zone and boy were we treated right. I had coworkers in the Murfreesboro and Newark offices who loved coming in. I knew people in Kalamazoo and Winter Haven who were working when Ed Sr still ran the place.

Fast forward to Tipsord. We knew he was going to change things, but he didn’t hide it. He knew what he wanted and despite the old culture pushing back and keeping him in check - after COVID he at least had some respect for us (although more likely he knew he was retiring soon and didn’t care anymore).

Now we have Farney. He’s been with the company for decades. Several soon to be retirees thought (as I did) that he’d bring back the golden era (or at least something akin to it). Boy were we all wrong. Everything that comes out of this man’s mouth is ‘we do it because our competitors do’. What happened to the State Farm that led this industry? What happened to the State Farm that treated customers like neighbors because executives treated employees like family?

It’s a sad day when people in the HUBs have to go in office more when 40% of the workforce gets to work from home full time. This company isn’t State Farm anymore and honestly I hope this year shows the board that the current C suite is not equipped to be leaders.

Over 6 months into having a BP Staff TSI Engineer take over from a UK based Engineer in my team who was let go.

Myself, and increasingly several others from other disciplines are needing to step in and coach, and correct mistakes from our TSI. Mistakes that rarely happened before and if they did could be sorted over a desk not over time zones.

The bar to entry has been set so incredibly low just to get bodies in chairs.

Yes, they are on 40% of the money, but the output is half, the support required is 4x and it’s demoralising us who are left.

If this is good business I’ll have my hand firmly in the air at the next EOI.

It came out in a manager's meeting, and a lot of names were brought up. Many had been with the bank for years and knew how things were "glued" together and were well regarded. There was mild panic about all of the knowledge they took with them, not that executive leadership cares.

"...they've confused efficiency with purpose, growth with meaning, and the elimination of people with progress." - Eric Markowitz

Hemsley - please note: received no raise, while your compensation increased. That delta's super to acept.

I have been with the company for more than a nine yrs, and it is soooo frustrating to see long-term employees treated as though their contributions do not matter. Many of us have lost confidence in management's ability to lead effectively. Repeating the same scripted remarks every quarter does not address the real issue, and employees are tired of hearing it.

People want fair pay, not more corporate language. If compensation does not improve, the company risks losing experienced employees who have carried this business for years.

It is discouraging to see reports that we received nothng while the stock price rises. That only reinforces the perception that leadership is rewarding itself while ignoring the people doing the work.

Today we were allowed to bring our kids to the office in Lake Mary
Total fiasco, no one did.
Who would bring a kid to this he-l? Lol
It really worries me how clueless these people are.

Simply put. No one gives d a m n about anything anymore. Everyone knows they are following the correct Path, until they realize they’ve painted themselves into a corner. And no one bothers to try to help them. That’s today’s Xerox. You can’t tell anyone anything and when you do, you are considered the Anti-Christ, and up to no good. Everyone connected to this board needs to get out now and cash in your chips, before they become completely worthless. Highly recommended long ago.

He wastes more than half of these meetings regarding everything he talks about in the earnings calls.

The guy can't comprehend that employees care about things other than share price.

I can say with full confidence these have been the worst three years of my career.

I came here excited about the work. I was full of ideas and wanting to make things better. Open Text took all of that from me. They don't cultivate innovation. They don't even pretend to. Any new idea gets met with bureaucracy, indifference, or outright hostility. And the toxicity, the constant politics and fear and backstabbing, it leaches into you. I noticed my creativity slipping away. First the big ideas stopped coming, then the small ones, and now I don't even try. If you're still new here, get out before you become as disillusioned as me.

Something has shifted over the last few years, and it’s hard to ignore.

I’ve never really felt like I worked for DXC — my focus has always been on doing right by the client and delivering a good outcome. But recently, it feels like we’re neither wanted, respected, nor trusted to do the job we’re here for. Work is withheld or second-guessed at every step, with everything needing detailed oversight. It’s draining, and it doesn’t exactly inspire anyone to go the extra mile.

That lack of trust is one thing, but when it’s paired with years of a 0% pay rise policy, it becomes even harder to stay motivated.

People often say financial reward is only part of a job — and that’s true. But right now, there’s very little else to balance it out. There’s no real sense of job satisfaction, no recognition when something is done well, and often not even a simple “thank you.” It increasingly feels like the expectation is that having a job should be enough in itself.

For me, that balance has tipped. What used to be tolerable — even enjoyable at times — has turned into something I genuinely dislike. The disconnect is such that it’s hard to care whether projects succeed or fail, especially when accountability can so easily be shifted elsewhere — to a missed detail, a PM oversight, or yet another broken process that makes delivery unnecessarily difficult.

It raises a bigger question: how sustainable is this? Because from where I’m sitting, it doesn’t feel like something that can continue for much longer, and I will be happy to see it collapse.

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.

Younger workers, go somewhere else. This place will break your spirit and ruin your career. Get out.

If I get laid off, great, gives me more of a safety net, but I'll be gone either way by mid-May. I'm looking forward to watching SAP sink. They have mistreated me enough it will be enjoyable to watch it crash and burn.

Our group had an all-hands meeting recently where we spent 45 minutes witnessing managers patting themselves on the back and 5 minutes of dodging questions about backfilling roles, future layoffs or severance. So yeah, super useful and effective. I'm still trying to figure out what was the point.

Yes, even with this economy and the dismal job market. That's how unbearable this place has become for me.

Over 25 years with this company, and got my layoff in an email.............how great is that? Great place to work.....NOT..................we are all a number now..........remember this........profits over people............the private equity firm su-ks........

If you are thinking about leaving, leave! This MC is making a ton of bad decisions and the titanic known as Fiserv is taking on water. Find your lifeboat and get out. It is only a matter of time and I assure you, they do not value you or your knowledge. And at this stock price.... decision is a lot easier.

What morale?
