They can’t even tell us in Digital if they are going to extend us again past 8/31, but we’re supposed to just sit here and take it to get severance

@qt Confirmed. Director reached out to 8/31 employees with the same copy/pasted message:
Request to update your end date to after August 31st. Timing will be before the end of 2026, and likely for 60 to 90 days.
Coworkers I have talked to have said they have pushed back for FIS to honor TPO directive saying any further extension past August 31st would be an option for them to stay or keep the August 31st date.
@q1 is it confirmed?
Extension until end of November, at least until we get closer to the end of November and they realize offshore resources still aren’t able to do the work.
The worst kept secret in Digital is that the 8/31 date is being extended.
@dh don't make any plans for after that you cannot change based on your 08/31/2026 stop date. Don't think that you will be in the clear; free from this cr-p with the support of severance and unemployment to reconstruct a new future. Bob lives to sn---h that away from employees. Just ask the remaining Franklin Templeton crew stalled at FIS other mutual funds.
Oh! Just wait. They’ll come to you on 8/30 and tell you they’ve found a position in another department that needs help. Your options are take the position, or leave with nothing. Exactly what they did to a few former Franklin Templeton people. Zero caring or concern.
