Why are you still at FIS

I was let go after more than 20 years. I have to ask, why are you still at FIS? It is a tough market and the longer you are there without spending adequate time searching for a new job will hurt you. You already know it is a POS company. C Suite is filled with liars, and broken monetary promises. Are you too scared to try and consider something else or are you hoping to be let go for severance? Either way, neither will make you happy. You are losing out on potential other jobs that will be flooded with more candidates after more and more people are let go.

For those let go like myself, it haunts me every day and I feel your pain. I moved on but it took time. The pain, helplessness and uncertainty was real. My advice, network, network, network. Also, keep reviewing and looking into AI. It will be asked of you when you interview regardless of position or title. Don’t let your position on a spreadsheet define your worth.

Sc--w you SF and your overpaid minions who have watched the stock fall apart and a board that let the company go to cr-p with no changes the past few years.

Hoping for severance. Unfortunately, working in this cesspit of useless leadership has meant that I've lost confidence in my abilities. Imagining explaining my day to day role in an interview feels humiliating but they don't know how difficult it is to do even the most basic things in this place.

@af apologies to the OP, I misread that you’d been let go 20 years ago instead of let go after 20 years service.

Just waiting for a severance. 90% of the time goes into preparation for new jobs, doing just bare minimum at lowest quality possible to stay alive

@a3 the employees are keeping this company running DESPITE the best efforts of the C suite. Not that they are actively sabotaging it, they are just so stupid and short sighted. They cannot be smart enough to actively sabotage it. No way.

@am yes, collaborating with colleagues has value as well as the remote work. Everyone has a different set of priorities.

I only stayed as long as I did because I loved everyone on my team, which I know is rare. Otherwise I was sticking it out for severance, and thankfully my time came.

Fully remote is still worth a lot to me.

@OP you need to move on with your life, and perhaps seek some anger management.

@OP I'm 2 years away from my planned retirement. Getting let go with full severance would be a gift. At that point, I will say "close enough" and retire.

I feel like it’s easier said than done. But at the end of the day, you are 100% correct! We should all be looking to get the heck out of this joke of a company. It’s honestly embarrassing how poorly this company is run.
