#lookingtoleave

I quit. I got a comparable offer and I just wanted out. My only regret about leaving Fidelity is that I can only quit once. I'd do it every week if I could. Every day. That's how much I've grown to hate this place. I just hope somebody in my team gets to keep their job as a result. I doubt it, but who knows.

I've been a top performer here for eight years, but lately I feel like I am losing my mind. My manager moves targets constantly and then acts confused when I miss them. A coworker who does half my work got a big promotion last quarter. I know I should leave, I just don't believe I am good enough anymore. This place did that to me.

I plan to be completely uncooperative. What are they going to do? Fire me? LOL. I'll rather use the time to look out for myself and find a decent job somewhere decent.

To make the transition smoother for employees and out of the kindness of their hearts, the MC is going to let Calgary people move to Edmonton early. How thoughtful and considerate of them.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with growing concern about number of Calgary employees who are actively looking to find a different employer in Calgary before 2028 comes around… No it must be how much they care about us!!!

Simply put. No one gives d a m n about anything anymore. Everyone knows they are following the correct Path, until they realize they’ve painted themselves into a corner. And no one bothers to try to help them. That’s today’s Xerox. You can’t tell anyone anything and when you do, you are considered the Anti-Christ, and up to no good. Everyone connected to this board needs to get out now and cash in your chips, before they become completely worthless. Highly recommended long ago.

I'm actually grateful for that.

Especially if you hate it here. Leave this place to those of us who like working here. Everybody will be happier.

It's getting harder.

I don’t have the guts to quit, but if they did it for me, it would make the decision easy. That’s where I am right now.

I came here excited about the work. I was full of ideas and wanting to make things better. Open Text took all of that from me. They don't cultivate innovation. They don't even pretend to. Any new idea gets met with bureaucracy, indifference, or outright hostility. And the toxicity, the constant politics and fear and backstabbing, it leaches into you. I noticed my creativity slipping away. First the big ideas stopped coming, then the small ones, and now I don't even try. If you're still new here, get out before you become as disillusioned as me.

This place won't last another five years, at best. Don't fool yourself. Find something new while you still have a paycheck.

Something has shifted over the last few years, and it’s hard to ignore.

I’ve never really felt like I worked for DXC — my focus has always been on doing right by the client and delivering a good outcome. But recently, it feels like we’re neither wanted, respected, nor trusted to do the job we’re here for. Work is withheld or second-guessed at every step, with everything needing detailed oversight. It’s draining, and it doesn’t exactly inspire anyone to go the extra mile.

That lack of trust is one thing, but when it’s paired with years of a 0% pay rise policy, it becomes even harder to stay motivated.

People often say financial reward is only part of a job — and that’s true. But right now, there’s very little else to balance it out. There’s no real sense of job satisfaction, no recognition when something is done well, and often not even a simple “thank you.” It increasingly feels like the expectation is that having a job should be enough in itself.

For me, that balance has tipped. What used to be tolerable — even enjoyable at times — has turned into something I genuinely dislike. The disconnect is such that it’s hard to care whether projects succeed or fail, especially when accountability can so easily be shifted elsewhere — to a missed detail, a PM oversight, or yet another broken process that makes delivery unnecessarily difficult.

It raises a bigger question: how sustainable is this? Because from where I’m sitting, it doesn’t feel like something that can continue for much longer, and I will be happy to see it collapse.

Then put some corporate lackey in charge who added endless rules and rewarded toxic people. And now those few of us left are desperately looking for a way out. I'm honestly not sure how is this a net positive for FIS.

Younger workers, go somewhere else. This place will break your spirit and ruin your career. Get out.

If I get laid off, great, gives me more of a safety net, but I'll be gone either way by mid-May. I'm looking forward to watching SAP sink. They have mistreated me enough it will be enjoyable to watch it crash and burn.

Yes, even with this economy and the dismal job market. That's how unbearable this place has become for me.

Anyone have any idea? I'm in such a bad spot that I'm clinging to this job for dear life. I wouldn't even be able to begin searching for another job. I just need a couple of months until the dust settles.

From truly enjoying my work here years ago, to all the stress from waves of layoffs throughout the decline, now I've reached the point where I have no hope that Nike will ever again be a great company to work for, and I'm looking forward to being on the next list. I've been here too long to cut the cord easily, so the sooner they make that decision for me, the better.

This company is going down, the job market isn’t nearly as bad as what people are saying. You are so smart! There are companies that value your time and won’t fight you to make progress. It’s time to send out applications. It’s not worth staying here and fighting, they sold us all out, but the future for you is bright.

May layoffs? Round two?

Does anyone smell may layoffs prior to desk movement in June?

Are there new onshore/offshore people joining your team?

If you are thinking about leaving, leave! This MC is making a ton of bad decisions and the titanic known as Fiserv is taking on water. Find your lifeboat and get out. It is only a matter of time and I assure you, they do not value you or your knowledge. And at this stock price.... decision is a lot easier.

Welp - I did it everyone, and I have not one ounce of remorse or regret! After months of executives pushing me to work HOURS after my shift, just to appease others for their own benefit, I pushed my resume out and about and proud to say that I got my rear out of there! Grass is way greener on the other side, except mine comes mixed with sand and a nice ocean breeze! Don’t be afraid to look elsewhere for long term security, in my time with Onsemi I’ve learned that they’ll (executive level management) will never value you unless they have no clue on how to replace you if you perform critical work. After years of getting 3s on my PA despite being a top performer, I’m taking my talents elsewhere and they can take a page from their own book and learn to solve their own problems now! Guess if they mess it up they can always fill out a 5-why, but there goes that cushion that I’ve given them for ages! Wish nothing but the best for my previous team though, those guys were all-stars! Goodluck everyone!

I have noticed that my team still has the old titles( i.e. no lead , principal etc. but rather titles like senior). Also seems like we are next in line for RIFs? Has anybody heard anything regarding this?
I am looking for a new job not wanting to stay with this company under this leadership, but still want to know where I al.

I'd do anything else at this point - different company, different industry, I don't care. Healthcare years are like dog years. One equals five. And I think I just ran out of years.

I actually WANT to get laid off! Anyone have tips on how to get on that list? Long story short, I'm so tired of the bs but want to get that severance.

If that happens to me personally, I'll consider myself a complete failure.

I've been job hunting for months. Calling the market "slim pickings" is generous, and it's only going to get worse. We're heading toward a place where beggars can't be choosers. Anything, anywhere, for any amount of time, will have to do.

Anything in particular that they do or what we should watch for to let us know they are going to either lay us off or force us to quit?

That's the only reason I'm going along with rebadging. After that, all my time and energy go toward finding something else.

I’ve been here for over a decade, and I’d be lying if I said it was all bad. There were good times too, even if the bad has been more prominent in recent years. I’ll miss my coworkers, and I’m hoping we’ll still grab a drink now and then. I’m ready to move on. Good luck to everyone else, I hope life treats you well.

How do I make it happen? Thanks

Does anyone have any news about layoffs? Have they started? What can we expect? When are they planned?

I know there are too many articles and posts signaling the layoffs are going to happen tomorrow , i.e. 3/31. Since it’s just a day, anyone can confirm here if they got some hints or would get today. No trolls please! Asking genuinely. Will then balance out the work and backing up.

Asking for US.

Everything seems so normal except online.

I would otherwise be out without a second thought. I don't know what your experience is, but there are barely any jobs out there. I reached my peak burnout just as there are no options left. Well, I'll just tread water here until better times, trying not to go nuts from having to show up here every day.

I don't see a long-term future here anymore. I don't think anybody should.

I can't believe I put myself into this position. The environment is toxic, we have extremely poor people managers, most of them are micromanagers, and tools and processes are broken or ineffective. There is massive burnout not just in my team, but anywhere I look. Getting out of here is my number one goal.

Why does anyone work here anymore? I can't wait to be laid off or quit, hoping for the former! Wasn't today walk out day? If you get fired do you still have to pay back sign on bonus?

DOes anyone know when the next layoff at wellmed will be? Im looking into quitting but would like to wait until the next layoffs. Just in case so i can get my severance package. Either way, im ready to get out of here

I just can't do this anymore. I'd take anything else at this point, even something that pays less. I know the market is rough, I know the odds. But I've got savings, severance would buy me some time, and I'll figure it out. There will be other jobs. Putting aside the constant uncertainty and the overall sense of decline, both of which have been deeply demoralizing, I think I'm just personally burnt out. Not the best time for a major change, but it is what it is.

No offense intended to any recent layoffs or anyone that might be affected in the future.

I am a long term high performer. As a result of a recent reorg, bringing our team into IT that shouldn't be in IT, they put me in a brand new role I'm horrible at and I hate, and are overworking me to death. Not only does my leadership have no fu--ing clue what they're doing, they are extremely thin skinned, and not open to feedback. So fu-k it, maybe they're right, I'm not equipped for a role in their stupid bullsh-t org. I think they're going to fu-k up royally and cost the company a lot of money, but let them own it.

I am now begging, pleading with everyone I know internally to try to find a life raft. I don't even care if I have to take a pay hit, this stress is taking years off my life and will be very damaging to my career. But if I can't find something, externally or internally, I think I just need to quit. This is the d-mbest sh-t in the universe, and I really am the atlas holding a bunch up, so fu-k it, let them deal with the consequences of their stupid choices and yes men bullsh-t. They're about to do something very stupid that's going to pi-s a LOT of people off and make tons of enemies.
