#rif

RIF end of May off the books end of June.

There are enough warn notices that are circulating (state wise) that show execution dates ending till june 2026, so this is not yet over and hence no official communication of all things done - even VP+ who are trying to calm the waters are doing just that - calm the waters, but the sharks are still circling and the reports of 30K with only 12K executed with respect to RIF shows that a larger cut is coming. You bosses have lied to you before many times and are still lying!! If you are not out yet, you are still at risk - 18K is 10% of the current workforce and that is a large risk especially for people over 45, people at IC level with higher pay, people in SaaS/OCI, Sales are almost always risky, but app support is bad now.

To those who got riffd, Has anyone had issues with Docusign?

the opening number to a musical. The Pajama Game (Google it, youngsters) was a musical about employees attempting to negotiate a better contract through their union. The Pajama Game was a musical comedy. This is a musical tragedy. Billie Eilish could do it. This is the theater of the absurd.

August 31st.

FIS either realized their mistake in record time, or need additional time to line up a buyer.

Lots more news articles and post views generated about this RIF than the total AI tour. Great marketeering.
Add 10k more evangelists to promote the company at their new employers and it’s a total success.
When do companies fail? Too much debt? Negative cash flow? Or when the customers don’t believe they will be here next year?

Have you guys heard of any RIFs happening in the ambetter marketplace LOB?

Who has been RIF'd this round or over the last several months? I'll go first. I was in October...anyone else? Any whispers about what's next? First they combined DS/DM roles...then they added extra layers of Sales Help and Deal Desk...so they combined essentially four roles into one, no extra pay, less headcount, and now they are just shoving it all to AI?

I’m just curious if there was anyone laid off while on maternity, paternity, or medical leave?

Heard stories of someone who wishes they took their full leave and was RIFd anyway, but anyone truly at home with baby and got a call!

I was Rif’d today. California in-office employee. I am only getting thru April 10th. I am not a remote worker. How am I not eligible for WARN?

I've completed the docusign, providing my non-Oracle email. When can I expect the final paperwork? TIA

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?
