#rif

Any RIF impact on them?

Got the generic email this morning. Just one month short of my 15 year mark. I have seen a lot of good people and engineers treated in similar fashion so I knew this day would come sooner or later. All the best to everyone affected.

good luck and so long, thanks for all the fish

My team (including me) just got RIF

If you are in the US and you get RIFed, if you added wellhub then your gympass is still active and you will be charged monthly unless you cancel. One of the great things about Oracle is that you will get no further contact from anyone at Oracle about anything (unless you have peoples numbers). I don't even think your manager is allowed to talk to you. You are cut off pretty instantly, and it is a shock.

I suggest a regular gym routine or some kind of physical activity to help you keep your sanity.

My manager had 8 people and 4 of them had RIF.

Process: zoom invite, manager was sad but had to read out 5 lines provided by oracle restructuring. Manager personally apologized and we made a plan to meet outside for coffee. All access got deactivated in 5 mins.

2 weeks Severance Pay for every year you work.

Today is it happening in Canada.

I want to share my experience of the layoff process at Oracle. I was RIF'd in September 2025. I worked for Oracle for 17 years: 7 years in the UK and then transferred to the US for personal reasons (my wife is American and we wanted to be closer to family). Oracle made that move so much simpler and for all the bad things I will forever be grateful to Oracle. During my time in the US I was relatively high achieving within my team and had carved out a unique and critical DevOps role within my team. It wasn't rocket science, but it was unique and critical and I thought it gave me some protection against a RIF. On the Tuesday before I was RIF'd (Wednesday) I attended a meeting with my VP, Senior Director, Director (I was IC4) and we were planning for some business critical work that coming weekend. This is relevant as no one in those positions had any idea it was coming or we would not have been wasting our time on that planning meeting! The following morning we had another meeting (Oracle and their meetings...) and the VP didn't show up... the senior director didn't show up... the director and the ICs all showed up. I then got wind of something being up around 30 mins after the meeting as people were starting to disappear on Slack. I messaged my Director and he was talking to me on the phone and then he excused himself and had to drop for an urgent meeting that had just shown up in his calendar. He messaged me 10 minutes later to say that he had been RIF'd and his access was going to go away and gave me his personal email and said he was there to help however things worked out (great guy). Then around 30 mins later I received an email from my EVP. It was a boilerplate job and basically said "Today is your last day with Oracle, so long and thanks for all the fish". My Slack etc carried on working and in fact all my access continued working, that struck me as super d-mb.... I didn't do anything with that access but others might not have been so responsible! Around 2 hours later I was locked out of everything and was left numb walking off into the sunset. I received my severance on schedule and that was that. It all just felt very sloppy and isn't the way I would have handled it. An email after 17 years just felt a lot like a "F U". My entire org was laid off (bar a couple a of guys to keep the lights on - who wants to be that guy!!) so it was obviously not personal but it just felt so sloppy.

Im so sorry it happened to you. But at least you can warn others, and give a tiny slice of payback. They do care a lot about FIS' public image

Given how crude and perfid the RIFs have been so far, I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't really the case. But here's hoping.

Does everyone know where they stand so that they can begin to plan? Does anyone know what the final outcomes were? Departments? Numbers?

How was the latest RIF in Smart Energy? How many and where?

I am currently on paternity to end in two weeks and am planning to save some of it for later use when needed. However with the latest news of RIFs on the 31st, need help to decide if I should extend and use all of it or does it bheven matter if I am on the list. Any genuine advice is appreciated!!

An all hands invitation was sent out this morning for April 1
GP and WP leaders on it and I hope that they have some information to share instead of an hour of word salad slop.

Realistically they keep doing this on and on and surely they will have to stop doing this eventually I am not seeing the end game here. Soon no one will want to join and you will have ki-led off most of the workforce?

Prediction is Citi is going to be at <100k employees within 5 years or so. The market will simply demand it. You are delusional if you are in the middle/early part of your career thinking long term at Citi. People in the revenue generating side of things in the business will have a much longer off ramp. However, if you are in operations/ technology/ risk and controls etc then you are being very complacent not actively having a back up plan. These MDs you bootkiss are basically being mandated that they reduce their teams on an ongoing and continuous basis. Jane and her cohort of fu-kwits clearly have highly ambitious plans for RIF

This may sound insensitive, but hear me out...

With so many folks worried if they will have a job once the RIF kicks in high gear, are sellers finding it increasingly difficult to get Q4 deals closed? Supporting teams are just not as focused. Clients see the intransigence. I even had a contact ask wtf is up at big O.

No set date, but sometime in the next 6 months. The strategy bet is that if they think I’m leaving in the near future, they’ll be less likey to rif me now. The straws have been grasped at!

Reading the flurry of posts here is tough for me as I'm sure it is for many others with survivor's guilt. Can't help but want to leave ASAP from this sinking ship. FWIW, here's what I learnt about the situation today (some of it repetitive of what's already been shared).

This is a pilot initiative affecting CIO, Dev and PS.

Affected capital markets solution groups for pilot = IAM (InvestTran, InvestOne) and Data (DIM, PIM, CAM).

Cap markets pilot is just for these solution groups in 2026, with full rollout planned in 2027 across others. Obviously these timelines are subject to change.

LoB (line of business) was kept in the dark until this week.

Effective immediately: people being RIF'd (backfilled in Zensar) and rebadged (moved under Zensar). RIF announcements were made today.

RIF vs rebadge is based on employee grade and where Zensar has offices to take on ex-FIS staff.

But hey, glad that didn't stop the company taking its top brass and the 2025 leading sales performers (and their +1s) to a fancy resort in Switzerland via business class for a week.

For shame, FIS leaders. It's not that we don't understand shareholder primacy, it's just that this all feels like it was so avoidable.

No meeting on the calendar and no message from the bosses.

Another no news predicted RIF day!!!

Has anyone heard grade 26 remote CDI being on the RIF list?

What's the word on the street as far as projected RIF numbers and locations ?

I am hearing from multiple sources that half of FOS was RIF'd along with over 600 developers between the FIS banking core systems.

I was just informed by my manager that RIFs are happening next week and I am on the reduction list. Anyone who is non-billable is in the crosshairs. No word on what the severance package looks like.

The high number of RIFs and poorly run ‘transfer to contractor’ (a clear RIF later but without severance) are both obvious signs of a company about to collapse.
I blame the board and I blame senior management for letting it get this bad.
The share price will continue to fall because the company itself is failing. This last ditch effort only hastens the final failure and inevitable sale.
And I for one shall not mourn the demise.
I can only hope that it makes the architects as bankrupt monetarily as they are morally.

It's simply hilarious. Goals due, but no direction from leadership. Some orgs haven' been shared yet. No idea what to expect when L3 in technology is and what it means when it is shared in the next week and what that means for everyone under the ones chosen. Picking 1/2 GP and 1/2 WP doesn't mean the right people will be chosen. It is a wait and see over and over and over and over again. It's exhausting.

Is anyone hearing that there will be rifs this Thursday? What details can you share?

Hearing from management that there are expected to be riff's this week and that all area's of the company are in the scope.

...any news on more RIF's/potentially impacted areas?

Has anyone heard of anything brewing in OT, ORx OI etc? O lot of VP's have resigned in the last 2 weeks, I wonder if they were offered a package or knew something bad was coming?

RIF'd in February and received my separation package this morning. The dates are right and the weeks lump sum is correct but there is no mention how the PTO will be paid out. Falling under the rule of 60, in a conversation with HR a few weeks ago, they confirmed I would get the entire year's pto. How is that paid out and why isn't it in the separation agreement?

Any info on this? Saw it on the wireless side

Those are in the know now, are YIR and external teama feedback considered during charting out who gets laid off? If GL-32 is very happy with my performance and thinks highly of my contribution, will that matter during RIF where only a few teammates are fired? I joined about a year ago, got 5/5 YIR and was told I was one of the highest rated our of 24+ on our team but the project I was working on got shelved in May due to Reorg. If I get RIFed, I cannot imagine having to find another job right now due to personal situation. My GL31 tried to move me to a different domain thats funded, but that also got stalled due to funding allocation between various teams. My only hope is my YIR and being my GL32s good list will somehow position me to survive the April layoff. No one should be going through this afternoon working so hard every single day and I did like the role despite the grind.

My guess is that he won’t stay longer than a year. I’m in management and preparing for a revolving door of executives along with quarterly RIFs until we are ultimately acquired.

Has anyone noticed or heard of your time card being blocked if you’re going to be laid off? I went to go try to cancel a PTO request for later in the summer, but after April 4, my time card is totally black. I cannot make any changes. Other team members see the same thing. We do expect RIF in our department. Any HR or payroll people have any thoughts on this?

Do your best, always. Still, the reality is that the days of staying in one position for 20 years, earning steady raises, and feeling protected from RIF conversations are gone.

For those who are hurting, it makes sense. You invested a lot of yourself. But it’s also a moment to reflect, especially when younger generations have often been labeled as less committed or less invested. When they were just more optimized. You should have been learning from them.

This is the reality of 2026. Nothing work related is special about any of us.

My heart goes out to those who are out of work. There is something here for all of us to learn.

Not sure what groups are impacted. But do know that a coworker on the Retail team under Lau send an email to HR requesting a package when the next round hits and he was told Tuesday 3/24 will be the day.

Rumblings about product being impacted but it’s only rumor.

Same as Title

GL31 here - Execs will conduct individual layoffs throughout the year. This will be in addition to group layoffs of misc teams. In cases where there’s only 1 individual from a team being RIFd, this will be a 1/1 call w direct leader.

Meeting w leaders was 3/19 after massive layoffs complete to give notice of ‘next steps’. They are aware employees are expecting notices & the goal is to keep the next dates ‘confidential’ and have the ‘element of surprise’. Expect the unexpected as more deep cuts are coming.

My friend & peer is GL32. Informed GL30-32 will be part of the ‘individual’ layoffs as to not cause alarm to their teams. Expect sudden ‘retirements’, ‘spending more time with their families, pursuing other opportunities’, etc. But in the end, we all know they were booted & forced to leave. It just sounds better when it’s presented as though it was their choice vs forced.

Buckle up - lots more cuts on the horizon.

Was today’s payment for vacation or was that the special payment? I know we will receive a stub in the next couple of days via mail but curious if anyone knows now
