It’s important to always keep a Plan B. These days, AI is reshaping many roles across the job market. In the case of FIS, the situation is different—they’re facing internal challenges and financial pressure, which is why layoffs are happening.

During times like this, it’s wise to avoid major financial commitments such as buying a house, an expensive car, or any investment that requires high monthly payments. Focus on saving, staying financially flexible, and preparing yourself for alternative job opportunities. If your role at FIS is stable and not outsourced, staying put until things settle over the next year to year and a half can also be a practical choice.

At the same time, start learning AI‑related skills and explore internal or external opportunities that align with future technology trends. With global conflicts and economic uncertainty, many projects are delayed, and the environment is challenging for everyone. Hopefully, things will stabilize soon

Initial claims for U.S. unemployment benefits increased last week. Economists estimate applications rose to 235,000 for the week ending October 4. This increase is linked to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. Contractors and federal workers are experiencing temporary layoffs. The shutdown has also delayed official economic data releases.

Nothing says ‘role eliminated’ like replacing it. Got the news today, Director+ leadership cuts still rolling (not PS/tech dev outsourcing) but yet intend to replace!

Delaware North is cutting an undisclosed number of jobs. This action stems from a strategic shift in its business model. The company is moving away from contract-based operations. It now prioritizes owned and managed assets globally.

A class action lawsuit was filed against KBR Inc. and HomeSafe Alliance LLC. The suit alleges they failed to provide proper notice for employee terminations. Approximately 200 employees were laid off. This followed the U.S. government scrapping a moving services contract. The contract, worth up to $20 billion, was canceled due to performance issues.

If you haven't visited this site (WallStreetDiscriminates.com) you need to. If you've been layed off, count your blessings. If you're still there, update your resume and get out. Post to the site if you have a story to share.

Maybe that'll finally force leadership to step up their game and actually run the business instead of just extracting wealth.

The atmosphere changed after the layoffs became the norm and it hasn't come back. People are hesitant to speak up, to take initiative, and to trust. I keep waiting for things to feel normal again, but they never do. It's no surprise, though, since we all know more layoffs are always a possibility.

Any update on upcoming possible divestitures for non-core or is everyone just being slowly laid off now?...

A rare sensible move, if true.

Like others said, it’s just another way to get booted later. Je-king us around.

When did omnissa last paid 100% of the bonus? They just keep disrespecting whoever has decided to stay loyal to them the last year

Wouldn't shock me if it bleeds into next week.
Good luck to all. Not much else to say at this point.

Today we have the 'mysterious meeting'. Last day tomorrow... And there's many people impacted :/

What are the thoughts behind this transition? Do you think this is go move or bad move? What are the rumors on how quota is going to be and if we are getting a comp increase decrease or change to salary? Just any more information about this transition would be appreciated. Crazy times right now at Verizon.

Hundreds of folks, all over the place. Remember when this was considered a safe job?

Fortune just dropped a fluff piece on Sarah London. It’s a masterclass in fluffy bootlicking. How much did the company pay for this pile of trash?

They call her a "mission-driven" savior fighting for Medicaid. Ba-f!

Let’s start with the photo. It’s awful. She looks completely dead in the eyes. There is zero warmth. Zero humanity. Just the cold, vacant stare of someone who fires thousands of people and then complains to CNBC about her "stressful schedule."

Fortune gushes over her "social impact" goals. They forgot to mention her $20M paycheck, while the company posted a $6.7 billion net loss last year.

She isn't driven by a mission. She’s driven by a massive bonus while her company burns and she runs MFN's legacy into the ground.

She's just a Layoff Queen who talks about "operating discipline." That’s corporate-speak for firing people. We all painfully know how many thousands of lives she's ruined with her inept leadership and lack of strategy. No amount of glowing praise from "Culture Karen" can redeem her.

"London Calling" started her career in Hollywood. It shows. She isn't a healthcare executive. She’s a storyteller. A pretty face with a vacant stare. This is just her latest script. She talks about "affordable housing" to distract from the fact that her business model relies on denying care and firing the people who do the actual work.

She is the ultimate corporate grifter. High on rhetoric. Low on ethics. Exceptionally well-compensated for failure. She isn't fighting for Medicaid. She isn't fighting for her employees. She’s fighting for her next glossy magazine profile. I've never seen anyone fail upwards so well.

layoffs are happening , the general channel numbers are dropping very fast today didnt count but its about 250-300+

I survived the last several rounds of layoffs and I feel horrible about it. Some of the best people on our team got cut and I'm still here, with less than two years under my belt. I know logically it's not my fault, but I can't shake this guilt every time I log on.

To my knowledge no employees were laid off in Germany on the Ansys side due to the work council. Any news on when this is going to happen? Any news on how close they are to an agreement?

I can think of three rounds that consisted of more than just a few people. Am I missing anything?

Are we ever going to be able to focus on work again, or is this just how it’s going to be now?

I know Jeff was swinging the axe yesterday and some poor 400 souls got hit sadly. The real question on my mind is did he completely obliterate the Data&AI group or are they still around. I know a director was let go in January/February. I'm just curious if he managed to plug the Data&AI money hole for good...

Will it be below 14$ by the end of the week? It’s a sinking ship while Executive’s are being fed grapes.

I went to see how much the workforce has shrunk over the years due to layoffs and I found this:

2025 162,000
2024 159,000
2023 164,000
2022 143,000
2021 132,000
2020 135,000
2019 136,000
2018 137,000
2017 138,000
2016 136,000
2015 132,000
2014 122,000
2013 120,000
2012 115,000
2011 108,000

With the constant cuts, how the he-l do we have more employees than almost ever before?

I can with 100% certainly tell you they are decommissioning the temple terrace building. This is not rumors and is not a joke. February 12th 2026 Verizon data centers LLC changed their mailing address and principle office location to baskin ridge. On top of that on floor 3 of the office, you will see hundreds of blueprints of the property in which are lying in recycled trash bins. The is the final steps of property decommissioning. They also hired contingent security workers at the front desk. It's 100% confirmed.

Dan pushed ai on us all on monday then immediately moved to fire so many people on friday. Was there warning?

Where are these layoffs coming from?

Great town hall, love the continued ask to do more without any mutual benefit.

• No real numbers, just colors and words

• No guarantees to top level performers for bonus or compensation

What would intelligent leadership look like?

Go into the successful locations, what is the common denominator?

STRONG MANAGEMENT that is incentivized to push a team through difficult times.

What is reality?

No incentive.

No reciprocal individual EBITDA benefit

Healthcare isn't office supplies, so DECREASING benefits and hours while INCREASING demands is a fools plan.

When this destructive self imposed Sycamore failure is complete, there will be business case studies added to college macroeconomics courses demonstrating how to NOT run a business.

Monthly bonus for hitting goals could be a good start for MGR, do you have zero motivational ideas Sycamore?

Nothing says “ask me anything” like the “organizer has disabled new discussions, and responses” and chat has been turned off by the “organizer for everyone”

Sounds like the long-term plan is to completely get rid of professional services

How many are planning to quit rather than being transferred? I see several people mentioning that's what they're going to do, so I'm just wondering how prevalent that is.

In the so called survivor meeting, they claim Cognizant is excellent partner (which is a TOTAL JOKE if you know what WITCH companies are). And they claim scaling up and down will be easier (scaling up is hard, scaling down is easy). They can fire ones easily by bench policy etc. Please, prepare for other plans. You deserve much better.

Is another day of Reckoning for VZB mgmt on the horizon?

Thin the herd. Desperately needed. Bring some sanity back to the business.

I'm one of the unlucky ones who's still employed by this trash company. I'm now going to have to do the work of 4 people, and I'm already DROWNING. In our dept meeting they kept saying we'll still meet our deadlines and learn how to "do more with less". It's IMPOSSIBLE.

I sincerely envy my associates who were let go.

Mystic Seaport Museum eliminated 22 positions. Employees were informed of these layoffs on Tuesday. The museum cited long-standing financial challenges. Rising inflation and increased operating costs contributed to the decision. These cuts represent about 15 percent of the museum's 150-person staff.
