Wonder what the agenda items will be? If anyone knows later today, please share.
Future Forward 3.0
As our company is going through a tough time, I would like to propose the following ideas for saving costs: • Pay Stephanie to do nothing. She has already proven that she creates negative value, so ensuring she does nothing will immediately increase... — read more
New Indian Hire Ravi Karanam
So another Indian hired Ravi Karanam. Tarun Bhatnagar was paid huge joining bonus. How much this dude get? The game is clear - Get rid of long time workers and make your friends rich. Shame on FIS Management.
Can someone please sum it up?
I read so many posts here and still have some questions… Those that were riffed were given until June 30th to work and then get severance package. Those that were rebadged have 12 months contract? Does the pay remain the same? Do you... — read more
Old titles still active, next for RIFs?
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... — read more
Tik Tok Franklin Templeton
The only Franklin Templeton phone skill still being serviced by FIS is the Retirement skill, Everything else has moved back to FT. Due to meeting their own staffing needs, FT has not given an end date to FIS. That leaves those Customer Service staff... — read more
Grow up
Some of y’all really need to grow up. Layoffs happen, it’s never personal. No-one at the top has specifically chosen you to go for any reason other than a number. FIS doesn’t owe you anything to keep you.
What will next week bring?
I'm at the point where I'm dreading each Monday because I'm not sure what they'll drop on us. Will it be layoffs, loss in benefits, or whatever else they can think of to make our lives more miserable. God, I hate this place.
The only reason to go along with rebadging is to buy a little more time
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.
If you are celebrating, Happy Easter
Passover was a few days ago. Any global company will have employees celebrating this spring. Whatever provides some time with family, friends and loved ones, sending out peace, strength and solace.
50+ year old employee DO NOT GO TO COGNIZANT.
Ttell FIS management that they don't want to be transferred as Cognizant discriminates age and country of birth. Provide this... — read more
Is it time for FIS Tech Dev to Unionize
I am sorry. I can only speak for the Tech people at FIS, but I am tired of watching my co-workers get laid off or moved to third party consultants to get laid off without severance. I am tired of wondering if I will have a job next quarter. I am... — read more
Survival playlist
Tom Petty's Won't Back Down came across the radio today. If you need a small pick up for your weekend, take a listen. Anyone else listening to music that provides some inspiration? Binge suggestions? For many, it's a long weekend. If you can take a... — read more
Did the FAQs hint at another RIF in a few months?
Does anyone have any knowledge or clarity on whether these RIFs would continue this year? The FAQs that were sent this week seemed to indicate this although they keep saying that the vast majority of employees have been retained by FIS. Any info on... — read more
If you can, go out on FMLA. Get a doctor to get you a mental recovery month.
Sure would be a great time to take FMLA for anyone that can. It puts your job on hold and they cannot legally release you during that time.
Oracle sacks 30,000 to fund AI
Your alarm goes off at 6 AM. There's an email from "Oracle Leadership." You've never gotten a message from that sender before. It says your job is gone, today is your last day, and severance details will arrive by DocuSign. By the time you finish... — read more
This sums up the entire Fis now

I'm at the end of my rope
I don't even care what happens next. I just can't keep stressing like this. The whole Cognizant situation has been its own special he-l. And now there's talk of more layoffs this summer? Why am I bothering with this job? We're just circling the... — read more
New RIF day at FIS sounds like...
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... — read more
New RIF day for those not moving to Cognizant
August 31st. FIS either realized their mistake in record time, or need additional time to line up a buyer.

New SF Low
How far does the stock have to fall before someone realizes we have the wrong leadership? The Ferriswheel sold worldpay to FIS and then became CEO of FIS. Spun it as a great thing to jettison it. Wow! She really is amazing for her own net worth... — read more
Looking for a job while you still have one is always the smarter play
That's the only reason I'm going along with rebadging. After that, all my time and energy go toward finding something else.
There is always one
"Grow up, get over it, baloney, you'll find another job!" Everyone's circumstances, obligations, etc., are very different. No one can know what someone might be facing in the news of a layoff or rebadge. If you disagree, say so, don't be a je-k about... — read more
Fcuk you FIS (who ever made this rebadging decision)
This is one of the worest way address your financial issues you don't know how Runa company as nd to save your a-s you are effecting the lives of employees. You are not even calling them employees you are saying resources like a chalk if you re done... — read more
Petty, vindictive and small
It did not have to be this way, every single choice was made to strip the dignity from employees. Remember that as painful as this is, you are in control of your response. Be smart on your own behalf, contact an attorney if you have questions so that... — read more
Has anyone reached out to an attorney?
I am one of those “lucky” that is not being pushed out (for now)…but has anyone reached out to an attorney? These people have to pay for what they did!
Not Moving to Cognizant
I was offered the move to Cognizant last week and will be allowing the offer to expire EOD tomorrow. I wanted to put this out there as encouragement for others who are deciding to do the same that you are not alone. To those who are taking it, it is... — read more
Nothing we've been going through has been a coincidence
Every inconsiderate or illogical move, including pushing people close to retirement over to Cognizant, or making seemingly d-mb decisions about who to cut - it's all intentional. It's all about savings without one iota of respect or gratitude toward... — read more
Those who are rebadged to Cognizant
Just heard from Cognizant that your vacation time and sick time will not move over, so I would recommend using all that before moving over. Also, from my understanding is that with Cognizant, the bench policy will be in place and it has to be a... — read more
If you were RIFd or rebadged, please post on Glassdoor and Indeed
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
Pushing out older colleagues.
Anyone else notice the Cognizant transitions hitting mostly people close to retirement? On my side, everyone 60+ got pushed to Cognizant while younger folks stayed. Feels off—anyone seeing similar across teams? Just curious if it’s a pattern or... — read more
Weak ineffective Leadership Caused this

Are teams that got hit already now safe?
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.
I'm not sure I'm happy I survived this mess
With how things are going to be once everything settles down, I have a feeling most of us will regret still being here.
Have all employees being RIF ed received their notice?
Does everyone know where they stand so that they can begin to plan? Does anyone know what the final outcomes were? Departments? Numbers?
Petition intended to slow or pause rebadging.
I'm not an employee, but I do have some experience in slowing down situations many of you are facing at FIS. Please consider passing the following petition around and send it to leadership. Petition Regarding Outsourcing and reading.Risks at... — read more
The question is how long will Cognizant keep you on the payroll.
My guess is when FIS ends your contract with Cognizant. That means FIS sc--wed you twice !
Is anybody actually going to train their replacement?
Because I sure as he-l won't.
This will haunt FIS for years to come
This is so messed up and it's going to cost us so much in the long run. So much knowledge is about to walk out the door and there's no real plan on how to mitigate it. There's also loss in reputation and resentment from people who were transferred... — read more
