Thread regarding Fidelity National Information Services Inc. layoffs

Franklin Templeton employees get no information prior to layoff date

Their layoff date is 04/27/2026, next Monday. Beyond that, no information has been provided to employees including managers about what will happen next Monday. The last calls will be transferred back to FT, the employees have been told that they will work on finalizing any outstanding work items.

Details of severance? Not yet. Any word about COBRA? Not yet. Will Monday be a full day? Probably not, but why give employees being laid off anything that might allow them to plan, such as when last checks will be issued, when will severance checks be issued. They still have a whole week to figure it out. Financial obligations of employees still need to be met, regardless.

Reading the Severance Policy from the employee handbook is not the same as confirmation from FIS for each employee. Let's keep the tension wound up until the last possible second!

@r0 is this a good time to mention that their 401k match is 85%? That is not a typo. It really is 85%. The benefits are excellent and they pay a huge portion of the cost. FT does not pay the most, but there are these compensations.

Imagine how bitter they felt about the transition to FIS.

They have been doing this for years. It saves them the big gaps in their numbers as well if they sell, they are not responsible to pay you out. See a lawyer.

Minor update: FIS is so burdened with severance payouts, that FT severance will be paid out to employees over time instead of in one check. At least, that is the word for now. More to come.
