#fired

Is that the new strategy?

I've been at FIS for years. Never once got a bad review. Never been put on a PIP. I showed up every day, did my job, kept my head down. Then they called me into a room without any prior warning and handed me a layoff notice. No explanation beyond the usual corporate language. I'm over fifty. I've given this place a big chunk of my life. And they cut me like I was nothing. Perfect reviews didn't protect me. Being a good employee didn't protect me. Nothing protected me.

Or do you get the whole thing to "improve," no matter what?

And no one is talking about it. How can we warn potential new hires about these clowns?

If you are fired or reprimanded because of Pega Workforce Intelligence it is defiantly cause for class action.
In summary, Pega Workforce Intelligence is generally considered a legal tool for workplace surveillance when used on company property, but it raises significant ethical and privacy concerns when not implemented transparently.

I don't think either FIS or Cognizant, if I end up rebadged in the next round, will see any serious work from me.

Any kind of severance or at least unemployment?

Wouldn't it be better to hear 'You're Fired' than go through the make believe process of creating fake reviews and then dropping the ax? Thoughts?

The Land Of Dots job cartel is for real.

I read about it here and elsewhere and thought, Ha, No.

I've seen multiple promotions and none of them make any sense.

Job Level 7 promotion to Squad Leader. She can't function in Excel, and got promoted from Level 4 to a Level 7 in less than 5 years.

Fidelity has been colonized.

T will term you for something and hide it under “performance” when they have no other reason to fire you. Also, people are being fired due to inaccurate office presence reports. Get yourself a lawyer. You may have a case.

Stop misusing "fired" when you mean "laid off." "Fired" implies misconduct; "laid off" implies downsizing. Use these terms accurately to protect professional reputations.

Yeah, right. There’s no way he didn’t know or wasn’t at least involved somehow. I can buy that he wasn’t the final decision maker, but I call bullsh-t on him not even knowing.

A Manhattan federal jury on Monday awarded $8.4 million to a New York University professor and former Cognizant Technology Solutions employee who claimed he was fired in retaliation for alleging the information technology company engaged in systematic hiring bias.

. . .

Jean-Claude Franchitti said he was fired in 2016 from a $350,000-a-year job after a decade at New Jersey-based Cognizant. He claimed it was retaliation for asking questions about the company's alleged bias toward hiring workers from India as part of a "cheap labor" profit model.

The award for Franchitti consisted of $4.2 million in back pay, or lost wages, and $4.2 million in punitive damages. The jury declined to award compensation for front pay, or future earnings, or for an emotional distress claim.

The trial revealed a dearth of written communications from Franchitti complaining about Cognizant's alleged strategy to keep a cheap labor pipeline open. His lawyers said Franchitti kept concerns verbal because he knew he was walking a "fine line" and wanted to find fixes diplomatically.

Franchitti is pleased with the verdict, his lawyer, Daniel Kotchen, told Law360 via email.

"The jury sent a strong message that violating employees' rights will not be tolerated," he said.

Last day today at AT&T - Got my boss fired after filing a complaint 6 months ago. Called AT&T’s hotline , filed a complaint, provided proof of harassment and discrimination and teammates who witnessed it helped out also. Recorded every teams call with an external phone and provided all recordings to HR investigation team.

Leaving the company with a 6 figure payout. Entire org is toxic!!

Good luck everyone and don’t be afraid to speak out.

No telling how many PA or FNP got let go.

As I understand it, the plan is to cut the panel in half over the next year. IMO this cutting our way to success is not going to work

My LMFAO this am… CDW having a collections attorney making threat calls for $400 or so owed on an employee computer purchase… over two years after I was laid off. Money must be tight.

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?
