Layoffs are not our biggest issue

Why are people getting fired lately for what I can only call bullsh-t reasons? Two folks I know have been kicked out in the last two months. I'm now starting to worry they've decided severance is too expensive and will be getting rid of us using other means instead of layoffs.


goodbye Dell

Got laid off last week after 10 years of work.
My manager joined the regular 1x1 on Tuesday and started reading "the script" . After that, crickets.
My VP, with whom I worked for a number of years, didn't even acknowledge me. So much for all the late night calls and weekend escalations. Not even a private reply to a goodbye email. Meh.


476 gone after excel line complaints about favoritism

476 sm. Was fired for favoritism
Time cards didn’t match schedule.
Some didn’t clock out for lunches and were paid

Very inconsistent when it came to time and attendance, some warnings deleted others were reprimanded for being late.

Anyway, 476 got the boot after several excel line complaints


Such a weird situation

Our manager went on leave and let us know a few days later through email he was no longer with the company. Now we're sitting here without a manager not sure if he was fired, laid off, or just left on his own. Frankly, he wasn't a great guy so I don't really care about him, but it'd be good to know if it's a sign of something to come for my team.


Rumor has it…

For the past week and for 1 more week, there is a police officer as part of the security team at one of the buildings, and 5 or 6 front row parking spots blocked off/reserved for certain employees impacted in this incident. (Although they seem to not be coming into office since most are empty). Rumor has it that an employee was fired on 6/12 and that employee made threats to other employees and/ management. Anyone have insights to what actually happened?


What if..

What if I put in for vsp and got denied because boss felt like saying no. Another round of layoffs come and there’s no enhanced benefit but now I really get laid off. I got sc--wed out of the first one because somebody decided not to approve me. Can’t I fight to get that since I volunteered for it in the first place?


No, you're not safe

If you are at FIS, just assume you are on the chopping block no matter what. Good performance, glowing reviews, even being tight with your manager, none of it matters. You are a number in a spreadsheet and the moment it gets too high for comfort, they will show you the door. Better to accept that now than get blindsided later.
