I think once everyone learns that FT, who is a large client, is dropping the contract and going with a different company the stock will fall even lower. Well into the 30s. How can you have confidence in the company if they constantly get dropped by... — read more

RIFS, PAY CUTS, YOU KNOW THE DRILL .....
Is there any truth to the June 30 layoff rumor?
That's the official termination date for people cut back in March. So is this a mix-up, or is another round really coming that soon? More layoffs are inevitable, I just want to know if another bloodbath is right around the corner.
Don’t sell yourself short

Bankruptcy when?
FIS is on its way to bankruptcy. Norcross ran company by M&A and hiding the financials. After WorldPay disaster, FIS tried to fool Wall St. by acquiring Global Payments. But deal was leaked and did not go thru. This company is built on Financial... — read more
So many issues
The problem isn’t just one bad decision. It’s weak direction, poor follow through, and leadership that doesn’t inspire much confidence. Does anybody actually still see a future here?

No H1B laid off
FIS has been preserving the H1B visa employees. The team had several layoff of US citizen and some were transferred to Cognizant, but all employees on work visa were left untouched. Apparently FIS loves Indian origin employees

I was one of the unlucky/lucky ones that got laid off in March with a Termination date of June 30th. Does anyone have any idea how many employees were laid off in that last round of RIFs in March?
Layoff occurs at least monthly

FT and IAN
I wonder how he feels now that FT took CS back and will likely take everything else back. I remember that he was preaching this as a huge opportunity and saying that it will be great. Well...
Rumor?
There is no truth to any rumors
FIS Management: Beyond belief incompetent
I know several employees that have been given date of June 30. They are doing zero work. In short FIS Management has given them paid vacation. The intent was to save money, instead management is doling out free money
Managers speak
It's been so helpful when managers explain processes in this debacle. It's a risk for them to do so, but it is much appreciated. The struggle here is real, your perspective is invaluable.
