Topics regarding layoffs at Fiserv Inc.

Not even trying to look busy

Many are demotivated to a point that they are only pretending to look busy and are actually doing the bare minimum. Personally, I don't even try to look busy anymore, because why would I do that? I’m only busy sending applications and looking for... — read more

Glassdoor Top 100

I wonder why Fiserv didn't make Glassdoor Top 100 places to work. Oh right, because that's actually based on what EMPLOYEES think of the company. Makes sense now! I'm sure the Fortune World's Most Admired is a bigger prize anyway.

The value of time

Returning to office means I lose more than two hours of my free time every weekday. Time I could spend with my family. Time I could spend on educational pursuits. Time I could volunteer. Time I could spend on things that fulfill my life and bring me... — read more

WARN notice

Someone asked a good question - With all the layoffs going on, where are all the WARN notice filings? I'm wondering the same thing.

Side-gigs

Just curious to hear about if other people are working side-gigs on Frank's watch? I am working a side-gig, but also selling info to a competitor and banking huge $ with very little effort. Frankel this is what you get for destroying a good company... — read more

Fortunately, the market is hot

Maybe I would be both worried and anxious about whether I would be fired or cut if the market was not hot. However, people say they got new jobs very quickly. I sent a lot of apps the previous month and was surprised at how many offers I got. What... — read more

Too old to leave

I see many people who can't wait to leave and are praying to be laid off but I'm not one of them. The last thing I want is to be laid off. I can't even imagine how much of a problem it would be for me to find a good fit elsewhere at my age. I have... — read more 

Literally no reason to stay here

There are so many great companies out there offering full time remote opportunities. I don't work on a laptop on my couch. I have a very nice home office with access to all the resources I need to productively do my job. I'm not going to spend 6-10... — read more

Benefits of being a long-term employee?

Since Fiserv changed my vacation to unlimited from accrued, what are the benefits of tenure with Fiserv? The only thing I can think of is a larger severance, but from what I understand that is capped. I know lots of things tenure doesn't do: give... — read more

Frank's agenda

Get as many people to quit as possible, replace them with underpaid newbies to fill the NJ location, and then get a tax break. Hypocritically embrace "work from office" while granting lots of exceptions under the table. Cut as many corners as... — read more

Advice - buy in or move on

Like many of you, I was an original Fiserv employee growing more and more disgruntled every day with the First Data culture takeover. My best advice is to decide if you can accept the new culture (and thrive in it) or to move on (vote with your... — read more

RTO shouldn't be such a big issue

I can get being mad since there are plenty of things wrong with Fiserv right now, but expecting employees to return to the office is not one of them. If the pandemic never happened, you'd have been in your office every workday in the past two years... — read more 

We ever getting a bonus again?

Putting aside all the horror of everyone that was laid off or forced to quit, does anyone know anything about bonuses? My boss said if we get one, and that's a very hard if, it will probably be all stock, which means it won't vest for years. And of... — read more 

I still miss the people who were laid off

I considered them friends. Since they left, I tried to stay in touch but my attempts have mostly been brushed off. I don't blame them. I know they're either busy or don't want to be reminded of this place in any way, and I'm a reminder. That doesn't... — read more

The stock

Is at $109 and climbing. The Columbus crew rolls into town soon and provides much needed talent Frank has his act together. Get on board or find something else

CEOs have ruined MANY companies. Will Fiserv be next?

I know many Fiserv higher-ups scan these boards and usually leave really d-mb/stupid comments to kiss Franks a-s, we all know they do, but moral in the company is abysmal. Plus, bleeding continues and I know MANY people who have either found a job or... — read more

I'm still angry

I'm still angry at Fiserv, months after I left. The company lives rent-free in my head and it's driving me insane that I can't let go. I just can't stomach the injustice of it all and how I was dismissed without a second thought after giving the... — read more 

Severance

Do you think Fiserv will pay out the severance that they offered if you stay and train the replacement? With everything that management is currently doing, I find it hard to believe that Fiserv will pay severance. Can't they just fire you by not... — read more 

Why, why, why…

Started as part of their analyst program not too long ago. I must say… I clearly had no idea what I was getting myself into. While still very early in my career, I can see the problems that trickle down from the top and the disconnect between... — read more

I'm not hoping for better infrastructure anymore

I have been following this forum for a long time and I was surprised that someone just mentioned the inadequate infrastructure that triples the amount of time to do our jobs. It drives me crazy. Not only do I think it’s a waste of time, but it’s... — read more

More work coming with all the mandate firings

Fiserv is a dumpster fire. Everyone is doing the job of two people Everywhere I look....No end in sight. Always asking for more from each of us while offering nothing. No phones,no internet,work from the office. Has anyone met a new hire in the last... — read more 

You must be desperate

I have a question for those who have joined Fiserv in the last six months or so (if any are reading this forum). What made you decide to join a company that is obviously spiraling out of control right now? Unless you were desperate for a job and this... — read more

The leadership is not stupid

I know many here believe that the current leadership is stupid and incompetent, but they're not. What they are is not invested in the longevity of the company. What they want are quick returns that will make them rich. Layoffs achieve that, for... — read more 

Open jobs on LinkedIn with no applicants

Wow, just wow. I was looking at the Fiserv jobs on LinkedIn and cannot believe the number of jobs with few or no applicants via LinkedIn. This seems highly out of the ordinary to me. Can you imagine being in recruiting and knowing the truths as to... — read more

This leadership will be the end of Fiserv

They need employees to do the work and they're making sure not one of us wants to stay. They work us to the bones but they don't compensate us properly for what we do. They refuse to hire enough people to do the work properly but are all over us when... — read more 

Did the vaccine mandate happen?

I know one coworker that got a new job rather than getting vaccinated and another got some form of exemption. The deadline was yesterday right? Did we really lose 25% of the company yesterday or was it all a bluff?

Carat will save the day

Very disappointing to see so much negativity about such a great company being led by a visionary like Frank. Perhaps many of you haven’t heard of Carat, but it will catapult Fiserv to the next level.

Might not be

If your answer to improve job performance is massive layoffs, hiring cheaper salaried staff and moving what’s left across the country to New Jersey, you might not be a really talented leader

Is the damage repairable?

I am becoming less and less convinced that it is possible for Fisserv to return on the right track. Eventually a miracle must happen to repair the damage done to this company by a series of bad moves and decisions. I would love it, but I don't... — read more 

remote work

"... Of course, this opens up the Pandora's box of remote work. New companies can be built for this era, but can old companies be retrofitted with a culture and set of practices that work for this new way of life? Or is there a growing chasm between... — read more 

Agile and COBOL

COBOL predates Agile by 42 years. Why does Fiserv insist on forcing COBOL devs to drink the Agile koolaid?
