#fired

Are they still actively looking for those who worked less than 6 hours at the office? Or did they catch everyone? Asking for a friend…

After getting IM in end of year review, boss put in workday a corrective action that will last couple of months .

Added 2 projects to meet a set deadline time that is impossible.

Is this a prelude to being fired for performance, or just mean you are in the list for layoff.

If fired, can you still get unemployment

If fired with documented boss personally does not like you and make life difficult for you, any possible legal action .

I know 3 coworkers fired today for coffee badging... all of them would come in at 7 and leave by 12... terminated for violating policy. I know several people who coffee badge for for far less hours, management is cracking down on this quietly... you have been warned

Heard from a reliable source a supervisor at NS told me that upper managment says next step NS/UP wants is to have all Carmen and Loco dept work 12hr shifts 5 day a week at all locations, some location are already starting to switch to over to this, they will be looking to fired about 20% of each department for minor offenses even if it they know people could fight to get there job back, they will try and delay each arbitration for 9 month to 1.5 years, thinking most of the people will find a different jobs and not return even if arbitration does win there claim.

Today was my last day in Enterprise Technology. I can't say I'm surprised, this position wasn't really right for me and I could see my own performance for what it was. Nothing unfair. I'm just curious if there's a trend going on in other parts of the company too.

I know of 3 people who got warnings today, and one of them was fired. Supposedly the one that was fired was averaging 4 hours per day and would leave after lunch. Seems like half of TIAA will be let go

I know of 2 people let go today- not sure if they were riffed or just fired.

The contract will be revoked and all the people servicing FT will lose their jobs, that's how this farce is going to end. They keep firing experienced people for a bit of saving and hiring unqualified juniors in their place. This is not a valid strategy and both the clients and FT feel that, and it's already happening. I wish it wasn't so but it will happen sooner or later.

I hope my rude and incompetent manager gets fired soon.

At least 4 director level employees in FAE let go as of today. One-and-done cut or are they going to drag it out over the week?

Cross posting from the FIS Layoffs page here only makes sense. Buehler? Buehler?

There are senior leadership firings that are not making sense. Talented people that go above and beyond with a lot of seniority or experience. They must be getting fired bc they just earn more. This is another huge blow to morale, why would I want to move up in a company like that?

Executive level leadership is woefully unqualified and terrible messaging.

It seems that FIS Belgrade office is in disarray. Lot of people were fired and morale is zero. It seems they are probbly going to close the office. Almost everybody there is trying to escape

So the leaders who were rewarded for delivering the 180 and 120 team scores will be fired for delivering a 64 and 50, right? Right? What a joke, if this were a Japanese run company they would have quit out of shame.

How true is this? My manager reminded me to make sure I'm staying the whole day when I go to the office, supposedly he's heard of 40 people being fired due to just swiping their badge and leaving. Anyone hear something similar?

The subject says it all

Be warned they are firing people like crazy for not wrapping on orders. AI is reporting this daily to management.

Well, I’m out the door. Fun!

The first blow is the shock. Not the gentle kind, but the kind that steals the air from your lungs. You’re first, first to fall, first to be told so there’s no reference point. No one ahead of you to say, this hurts, but it passes. No map to follow, no example to copy. Just you, standing alone, trying to understand how everything changed in a single conversation. There’s embarrassment too, a quiet, creeping shame that settles in despite the evidence of your performance. Logic tells you this isn’t about capability, but emotion whispers otherwise: you weren’t good enough.

Then comes the silence. HR goes quiet, so quiet it rings in your ears. Colleagues might offer a few kind words, if they’re allowed to, if they dare but the hardest truth is how many don’t. Not a LinkedIn message. Not a text. Not even a line in response to your goodbye email, assuming you were granted the dignity of sending one before your access disappeared. You sit there, staring into nothing, suspended between disbelief and reality. Did this really just happen? Hopelessness seeps in. You replay conversations, scan the past for signs, circle the same question again and again: why me?

And then something else surfaces. Rage. Sudden, blinding rage. At the decision. At the decision makers who you know deserved this outcome far more than you ever did. But rage has nowhere to go. It burns hot, then fades, leaving you with the truth you can’t avoid: this is real, and now you must act. Job hunting can no longer be passive or polite, it has to be treated with the urgency of a serious diagnosis. Survival mode. Strategy. Momentum.

This is the con of being first. But it’s not the whole story. Because for those who were first, there is something else too, something only visible once the dust settles. There is light at the end of the tunnel. And eventually, you’ll realise you didn’t just survive the fall. You were already walking toward something better.

It's officially happening, they are firing remote claims and disputes people, anybody who's not close to a hub location. Confirmed with emil from EFDC.
What su-ks is that they hired remote people to help during covid, and it's now they're just letting all those good people go.
Oh, but the plus side?! Their rolls are going to be open for hiring at a hub of course. Insert eyeroll.

If you make it through a PIP but they fire you anyway, is there any payout? And does unemployment still apply?

33% are doing the minimum waiting for the axe hoping for severance
33% are doing the minimum waiting to retire
33% are barely doing the minimum waiting to see whether they got another job.

the other 1% work because they dont know any better.

No raises...everyone fired every other Tuesday...zero chance of being promoted or getting exceeds...of course people are skating...there is no incentive to row the boat on a sinking ship.

Has anyone had someone on their team fired due to time theft? Like using bereavement after a year/ abusing volunteer time?

I was in the corporate world for 18 years and I heard that stupid "reach out" term for 15. It sounds like 'reach out and touch someone' and I wish that term would disintegrate into the trash bin of corporate junk. Reminds me of the AT&T commercial blended with workplace harassment. You can reach out all you want. Who will YOU touch next? And, will that involve HR? You do you.

Seems like you can only get fired for gross misconduct but not from incompetence, at least from what i've seen. Any one know any differently?

11 years of blood sweat and tears and this is how you do me? A solid 5 or 6 of those feverishly cleaning up other peoples compliance messes. Only to be tossed out with the garbage without so much as a thank you.

No there's not reported layoffs because they walk people out the door as soon as they don't like what you have to say or as soon as they need to cut expenses in high paid or long-term employees

Just read that Home Depot did a layoff and had an RTO of 5 days a week.......do we think Fiddelke will announce an RTO? I could see it happening as a way to continue eliminating roles rather than doing mass layoffs????

I was completely blindsided. There was never any indication I'd be considered for layoffs. High performer, never had an issue. Over eight years of a great record. For future reference - nobody, and I mean nobody, is ever safe.

not even sure why i hit my number last quarter. It was a quick three years at Dell..

12 of us fired over the last week, getting rid of their best employees for miniscule reasons. Middle of the busiest time of year for us

At least there was severance provided. So many employees this year got fired for cause (so no benefits no severance not eligible for unemployment). Does the company su-k for this? Certainly. Will they repost our same jobs for 80% less in 6 months. 💯. Take your severance and run. This bank is a sinking ship.

It nice to feel better than the colleagues because the boss like you and pays you more. But when the eggheads at central office start running spreadsheets and who can get cut to save money, you stick out like a sore thumb and an easy choice to cull first.

We were told today that one BD in CA is gone and one in Batavia. Does anyone know if they got laid off or were fired or something? Or if there are more?

Any details if they got any severance / layoff / unemployment packages. Or where they outright fired since they were warned by Lumen that not taking their "similar job offers" with ATT would end this way. Will they have any recourse, has there been more than just AZ.

I got Inconsistently Meets at my most recent performance review.

Can I expect to get fired for cause within the next few days/weeks? Laid off at the next round? Or can I expect a few months to fix this?

Will my manager mark the "do not rehire" box if I am fired for cause? I had meets/exceeds until now, and had a good working relationship with my manager until now. I don't know if that helps.

Should I resign before I'm fired? I have years of savings, and I want to avoid the "do not rehire" box more than I need unemployment, since I assume it shows up on any reference. I can get good references from former managers and coworkers no longer with WF, but I still want a good reference from the company.

Thanks.

Why don't they eliminate all of the satellite offices and remote employees first? There are some directors, senior directors and VPs that hide at home all the time, some that wear the same clothes days on end that are never in the office. They hide with background pictures of their office, and while their leadership knows it, leadership isn't strong enough to do anything about it. So just fire them. If you are not in one of the 3 campuses, then you should not have a job.

The retention bonus should be paid back if the termination was voluntary by the employee. But I was fired. So, do I need to repay it?

Anyone has retention bonus agreement from 2024?

Fired? No consequence if they go for some days?

We had a guy all of a sudden “leave” our group. We all think he was either fired or laid off but our boss says he will be out “X amount of weeks.” No one believe him. I have been with the bank over 20 years and never heard of someone removed from the system and then put back in when they come back—?! Comments?
