Still at FIS - don't celebrate
If your position is not moved to cognizant, then don't celebrate. 80% Chances are that you be let go by end of August 2026. The company is deep in red.
Used to be great
This was a genuinely good place not long ago. The last three years have been a steady decline. Culture, pay and benefits, job security, all sliding. Now I've completely lost faith things will ever improve again.
Managers playing Games
Lot of management favorite employees were RIFed. They got good severance packages. Were rehired back as consultants @ $100 per hour rate. Some middle management managers are playing this game.
What a perfect record got me
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... — read more

Anyone else secretly hoping for a layoff?
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.
They cut our team to nothing
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.
Short timers?
It is impossible to care about work that has an end date in the immediate future. The motivation to your best, to train others or to spend time considering better ways to perform has been destroyed. How is everyone with an end date handling this?... — read more

I'll just use being formally employed to search for a job
I don't think either FIS or Cognizant, if I end up rebadged in the next round, will see any serious work from me.
For the weekend, a binge
After another long sh---y week, consider watching Big Mistakes on Netflix, from Dan Levy of Schitt's Creek, a new offering. It's very funny. Anyone else watching anything fun to distract from the horror?
When will they hit us with the next round?
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.
It’s time to leave
