Is it certain Wednesday is the day?
Time to update resume!
If you are still employed at FIS, do yourself a favor and update your resume. It’s a tough job market out there and you need a head start or at least 3-4 months. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable and do better for yourself!
8/20, 9/17
These are the next scheduled days for layoffs. Before I get the normal questions about who does it effect, I don't know. I work for a very mouthy SVP in tech dev and that's how I get my info because I get brought in to plan for when they lay a... — read more
Do something about it. Help try to bring about change
Glint survey results, employee morale, customer satistifcation, etc They don't care about these things. The CEO, CFO, head of TPO only care about 2 things: #1) the stock price #2) FIS' public image, and that's it, nothing else. Posting here is... — read more
100% truth. This is a sh-t company to work for.
I worked for a reputable temp staffing agency and they contracted my role with FISGlobal saying it was at least 6 month opportunity. On the start date, I join and they onboard me and let me meet my team of 3 onshore persons. Less than a week later... — read more
Monthly RIFs???
Is there any truth to the RIFs being more frequent? Like I hear every 1-2 months now but originally it was stated once a quarter. Just watch as some of my team members put in their last day last week. I’m normally a positive person with no worries... — read more
I think drastic times call for drastic measures.
At 3pm ET even if you are in a last minute HR teams meeting say: BEATLEJUICE! BEATLEJUICE! BEATLEJUICE! He's the only one who can help now. TGIF FROM THE BEACH! Mandatory summer Fridays till the end!
Glint survey
Answered honestly. Let’s see if it causes me to be RIFed. Someone has to tell the truth so might as well be me.
New portfolio approach
Is the new portfolio approach sent out by the CEO connected to another round of RIFs? Looks to me like a reason to drop even more management and employees to save costs. Any information on that?
After 9% Stock Plunge, It’s Time for Accountability at the Top
A 9% drop in share price yesterday following earnings it’s clear the CEO and leadership team have lost credibility and need to go. The board must act now before more damage is done. Cost-cutting is on the table, look no further than Stephanie’s... — read more
It is not over- thanks to TPO Bobby and Bora the butcher.
You’ve got Bob on the 13th floor thinking he understands sales and anything beyond the 3 inches in front of his face. In reality he needs to stay in his lane and stop pretending he understands anything about sales. Him trying to understand the... — read more
Time to leave
Job security no longer exists here. If you want to keep your sanity, leave.
Severance Pay Negotiation
Those that have been let go, have you been able to negotiate your severance? It seems like it’s been 2 weeks for every year. Has anyone negotiated severance and actually received more?
More Layoffs
I keep getting messages on weekly basis from people I work with saying they have been let go, no matter the years of experience or performance, it sounds just random . How long is this going to take everyone is stressed and scared?!
Role Changes and Communications
The recent role changes were mishandled product portfolio leaders handpicked - peers that have no expertise, knowledge or experience of the product complexities. Some peers in the loop granted a role others no communication, it is disrespectful and... — read more

Employee numbers @ FIS (Fidelity National Information Services)
Just using simplywallst website data, FIS had 69,000 employees at end of 2022. At the end of 2024 that number is 50,000. That’s a huge decrease globally of 27.5% and clearly in a downward trend. This makes supporting customers much harder as there... — read more
Leadership doesn’t care about retaining talent
They’d need talent if they had a vision. And if they had a vision, they wouldn’t rely on bland, clueless consultancies specializing in butchery.
Workday Acknowledgement
Capital Markets sent out a new change control policy that required acknowledging in workday. A group of people did NOT receive the policy change notice… leadership just sat on the call refusing to answer questions about why some did not get the... — read more
The truth is out there….
Any truth/insight to the sell rumors? Been hearing them for a few years but are they true? Considering we just built and moved into the new HQ in Jax, seems odd that we could be bought out. Hoping someone out there knows the truth.

The future forward
When more value is placed on ex consultants with zero real world experience over those that are tenured, tested and tenacious. The result will become apparent, but will create such a vacuum of exiting talent, it will be irreparable. What’s not being... — read more

FIS vs Fiserv
If I'm going from Fiserv to FIS, am I just getting the same thing or are things slightly better at FIS?
Atelio layoffs occurred today through a series of meetings
Just under 100 were let go.
Last Week: Compensation/ Recruiting/ TPO
Last week there were over 25 from compensation cut. Over 50 in staffing/ recruiting cut. Over 150 from HR cut. Expect "delayering" in sales to be the next wave.
How are people getting around the non compete clause
I've been here 3 years and over it but don't know how I can keep the same pay if I was to move to a different industry. Can't move to a competitor for 3 months in my role so I'm stuck
