I have a feeling FT will drop the contract entirely.

Am I alone in thinking that? They are already moving CS which is a big portion of the process. What is keeping them from moving everything back? They are obviously not happy with the work that is done by FIS. I can't even imagine how bad the cooperation between FT CS and FIS Operations/Support will be.


Here we go again...

Working for my whole life and was looking for a long term job to save money and retire but went through 4 layoffs and two company closings.

A couple of years in I see the signs. The rats start leaving the sinking ship. Cubicles being moved around, bodies relocated to owned spaces, rather than rented. Unreasonable targets and although profits are up... They want more. Blowhards in management speaking but nothing of relevance is being done. LifeVests are not being replaced.

This is the death of the middle class in slow motion. God save us all.


Stepford Employees

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like we now work in an alternate universe? It’s like a new operating manual has gone out to a select few as to how we all should behave and function in our roles and interact with others and none of it makes any sense at all? I constantly feel like I am being gas-lit.


New Jersey Layoffs Surge, Reaching Recession-Era Totals

New Jersey experienced a significant increase in job cuts during January. Employers announced 1,980 layoffs, a 544 percent rise from January 2025. This surge mirrors national trends not seen since the Great Recession. Amazon accounted for 871 of New Jersey's January cuts. Experts indicate employers are less optimistic about the 2026 outlook.

Kyndryl - uh oh

IBM’s spinoff, Kyndryl, seems to be in a wee bit of trouble.

I was going to attach a link, but honestly, just Google it — there are plenty of articles out there.

It’s a company led by former IBM executives, operating with the same policies, technology stack, infrastructure, and culture.

Something is rotten. Will it infect the mothership?


Being a psuedo-NTT employee

We may get our paychecks from NTT and have an NTT email address, but we're still the serfs or property of the 'Other company'. Nothing has changed for us, other than throwing a couple of NTT managers into the mix. The toxicity, gas-lighting and manipulation hasn't gone away, infact there is little more of it from the NTT side now.

Also it has become apparent that there are different variables or opportunities that come into play as compared to a real NTT employee. And that is we have none. Instead of being mentored or given the opportunities to further the paths of our own choosing. Obstacles are thrown in our way and under the table deals are forged to prevent one from pursuing anything other than what has been dictated or desired by those above us.

Should you voice your concerns or issues to a manager. Expect the repertoire of how everything is your fault and have your tried to find employment with another company.

If one could sum it up, it would be in the song 'Hotel California'.


Any chance it will be done within a day?

Once layoffs start, are they usually completed the same day? This’ll be my first layoff since I joined, and I’m more stressed than I’ve ever been. I’m worried one of the criteria will be last in, first out, which means I’m probably gone. I don’t think I can handle this dragging on for more than a day once it starts.


Did I Strike a Nerve

I had comment deleted from the Bartlesville layoff thread. In my posted I discussed how I thought Go-Go and Tractor Man likely feel about layoffs.
I guess I struck a nerve with someone because it’s been deleted.
It was up for ~24 hours before being deleted so quite a few people got to see it.
