I'm not nearly as negative as some people, but sadly, the facts are clear. Layoffs are just delaying the crash. What happens when they've cut everyone they can?

No rhyme or reason for the chosen: some long term tenured, some newer, but good at their jobs. That department was being hammered by senior leadership about meeting SLAs. They will regret it later when the staffing is needed later in the year. Why... — read more 

It's an excellent point made by a poster below. Many are hoping to cash out for the severance and feel entitled to do so. There is no disagreement with that. The sturm und drang has been real. Employees have earned that money. Now, they weigh whether... — read more 

Next round is August first week. There will be no severance. You will be transferred to cognizant/zensar. Either take it or leave it.

I was let go after more than 20 years. I have to ask, why are you still at FIS? It is a tough market and the longer you are there without spending adequate time searching for a new job will hurt you. You already know it is a POS company. C Suite is... — read more 

I'm watching more and more people make their exit. One of my coworkers just left for a job that pays significantly less, and he says he's never been happier, and I believe him. Others are just hanging on, waiting for a layoff so they can get... — read more 

Heard that several companies are circling for merger / acquisition of FIS. This is the reason stock went from 38 to 41 as news was leaked and potential buyers stared accumulating stock from open market. CapitalOne, Visa and Private Equity firm led... — read more 

There were rumors about possible layoffs next week. How concerned should I actually be?

Remember, the 52 week high and low are $37.42 and $82.62. Those are shocking results.

If Project Dolphin is backfiring and employees are no longer being forced between re badging with a vendor or severance (not enjoying that at all, nope), how will they be able to pay off everyone? The remaining Franklin Templeton legacy staff that... — read more 

Digital Banking employees who had previously been given a final day of June 30th, then shortly thereafter extended to August 31st, received a letter this morning asking if they would be interested in being transferred to the third-party vendor... — read more 

Curious to know what's going on with MBP (Modern Banking Platform)? It seems like it got hit with layoffs recently. I've heard rumors about it struggling lately to gain traction as a proven core solution.

Since all of the layoffs over the past 6-12 months, I’ve been actively applying for internal and external jobs. I finally got an interview internally, but I’m curious what are everyone’s opinions on what parts of the company would not be worth moving... — read more 

The working environment within the MBP QA team was disappointing, with unprofessional behaviour and attitudes affecting team morale and collaboration.

During my time at FIS, I observed instances where individuals with limited technical knowledge were placed in leadership positions over highly skilled resources. It highlighted the importance of having the right expertise and leadership approach in... — read more 

My experience with the MBP QA team was disappointing. Favouritism seemed to outweigh performance, and quality work wasn't properly valued. Despite my commitment and contributions, I was made redundant while others with limited output remained.

I put it on the table everyday, then on their foreheads while they swallow my salty taint. This company doesn't deserve my genius or talent. I've never worked with such a pool of executive low iq mental mid-ets in my life. I knew DEI hires were a... — read more 

I worked for MBP, including weekends when required. However, I received a sudden call from the TPO team and was informed that my role was being made redundant. I was laid off recently.

I came across this site and want to share the situation in FIS. Our office reports to managers in Bangaluru India. The managers are very rude with our teams. They talk very loudly in the team meetings. The FIS Managers lack basic management skills... — read more

There is hardly any activity on this site for other companies. Looks like this site is popular with FIS employees. Wondering why?

They don't offer what I do and their links are broken or don't work in chrome. Come on FIS - like their has to be something better out there.

Not really sure why, but did anyone else get one version of the layoff document to sign only to get another on the 9th? The latter added extensive language for preventing lawsuits, client interaction, bad-mouthing company, etc. What I would expect in... — read more 

How is anyone supposed to stay motivated when layoffs are constant? There's no stability, no security. All of us are just waiting for our number to come up.

Some participants are fluent in the FIS departmental acronyms, most may not be. It can make posts unintentionally difficult to follow. Including full department titles would be so helpful.

Some posts get deleted for obvious reasons, come less so. Are the Terms of Service (TOS) available to read?

Per changes to renewal of H1B visas, the administration has changed the policy. H1B work visas will not have 1.5 years automatic extension, rather the visa holders need to go back to their country. Use this situation in your favor. If FIS is not... — read more

This announcement from Kelly Beatty yesterday is curious. Evidently, Scot Yarbrough is heading this. Who is he. Brent LaRosa is leaving, he got the usual performative, we wish him well. Anyone else know more?

Any info. out there on TIS modernization projects? Some are under review or shortly going on hold, what does that mean for the future direction of TIS?

They are being investigated for US H1B Visa fraud? It is in the news.

I had my manager call me today and ask for my skills and education background. He told me company is again further more looking at skills and determining who should be placed where. He never used the word layoffs or reduction. CIO tower.

I don't hate my life anymore!

Will there be even more cuts?
