Large round of layoffs coming in October. Be prepared.

Rumors in this thread are on point. The test came via Corp Comms. A non anonymous survey testing people on PE ratio and profit drivers?

The rumors of an August rif sound real. Hearing August 23/24 but don't know anything else. Love the email about future forward success knowing more layoffs are coming.

Amazing the shareholder value destroyed by the past two CEOs ---$18B and counting.

Who enjoyed learning the answer to pressing questions like who is the most powerful ninja turtle?

Now let's be focused - which is it?

Three years and no pay raise. Paying for benefits that are bare bones. Working overtime weekly without pay increase. Is the time coming? Is this the new FIS direction until the next buyout?

SF is off to a terrible start, and she just can’t make a decision. Rather than ask staff to come back to office, just make a decision! Either tell us to come back a minimum number of days or stop bringing up RTO. Every other company has chose a lane... —  read more

Our GM got laid off suddenly. No word on wether there will be a replacement. Wondering if they’re going to sell the lockbox business or consolidate offices.

$500million in cuts is what Ferris plans for the up coming year. Instead of laying off talented and valuable employees that are the back bone of FIS, how about a 10% pay cut for the C-suite? Lets be real here, I get by comfortably on a $70k salary... —  read more

Hello, for anyone who has been RIF'd, could you share the amount of severance you received?

There is money, so do no BS us

The entire SDR team and managers were laid off today 1/18/2023. Terrible transparency from the higher ups. Told us to book for SKO a couple weeks back to firing us all today. Disappointed in FIS with how this was handled.

Last year was just the beginning. More on the chopping block. Need to pay for the new HQ building. https://www.paymentsdive.com/news/fis-cost-cutting-plans-employees-expense-job-cuts-sales-decline-competition/638196/
