I was on a call today and learned that despite a 7-10% benefits inflation the company decided not to pass that along to associates. Finally some very good news! Also we are getting another holiday, Juneteenth along with several other enhancements. — read more
Will Fiserv give an ultimatum for non vaccinated employees?
With the return to work in full swing, what is the status for unvaccinated employees? Will they force them to get vaccinated to return to office, or just eliminate the position to back fill in to NJ?
So Is FISV Paying Relocation Expenses? Bet They Won't
...maybe if you beg hard enough they'll let you expense a roll of packing tape and a couple of U-Haul boxes?
Employee Appreciation equals relocation?
Remember when October was employee appreciation week at Fiserv. And we use to get gifts and shirts. This October for employee appreciation we get to relocate or lose our jobs. I think that sums up what kinda company this is now. Nicely played, I... — read more
No news in DC
I am remote on the west coast in Digital Channels and haven't heard a peep about relocation. Any idea when I should expect the other shoe to drop?
Getting rid of ETSD?
Heard a rumor they are getting rid of the entire service desk and half the incident managers. Anyone know if this is true? The IMs were already overworked as it was..
It's sad what Fiserv's turned into
Are you more frustrated with Fiserv as it is today, or are you more sad that this is not the same company it used to be in the sense that it used to be really nice to work here? I often wonder where it all went downhill and whether it had to be... — read more
Stock Continues to Decline
Where are the OFD hacks now? The stock continues to tank. Today it’s down $4.15!!! Frank and Guy are failures. When will the BOD step in and stop this disaster?!?!
Lincoln longevity
Whenever Frank is asked to list out the go-forward locations, he mentions Omaha but not Lincoln. I think it's safe to say that Lincoln's remaining buildings will be sold off, in favor of having everyone commute to Omaha. Except that nobody wants to... — read more
Left a month ago
Just wanted to come here and comment on how much lighter I feel, how much my mental health has improved since leaving and thanks to everyone to gave me advice on here and gave me the push to get out. If you're contemplating leaving, please do it, for... — read more
"Seven go forward locations"
I've seen a few comments on here about Fiserv having "seven go forward locations." Was this announced or just a rumor? Other than the obvious New Jersey location, what would these locations be?
RTO d-mb question
Who exactly is complaining about RTO? People that were in the office before covid or people that have always been WFH? IMO if we were happy in the office in say December of 2019, then covid closed the offices and everyone WFH, and now they open the... — read more
RTO Targets
Can anyone tell me why I’m being targeted to return to office, but a coworker that does the same exact job as me, AND lives in a city with a Fiserv office, is still considered remote? I feel like I’m being discriminated against, since there is no... — read more
Change management
I can’t even imagine the amount of excels required to pull this donkey circus off. Fascinated to watch these clowns move families around the country while the stock plummets. But to be fair, Frank and Guy will bank many millions. Make the decision... — read more
Whom did they offer relocation to?
That is, which teams? Unfortunately they did not offer it to me and I am very sorry about that because I would refuse, get the package and finally leave Fiserv.
Observation on Frank
I was in only one meeting with Frank speaking directly to an internal group of employees. Did you ever notice how he behaves/acts sleepy. I attributed it to being not interested in what he was saying, more words, self-centered, than motivation to the... — read more
Fiserv is now Frankserv
I’m totally disgusted at how this new management team has zero regard for the people who helped build this company. Those salaries management gets are due to employees blood, sweat and tears. As if that’s not enough, add insult to injury, they... — read more
Accurate info and anecdotes re: Relocation RIF
Can people use this thread to post accurate information/answers to questions in as much detail as possible. No ranting. No hyperbole. A lot of us have to navigate this. What are the details of your 'offer' to move? When do you have to say yes/no... — read more
They will do anything not to give a package
It’s amazing to me how Fiserv manages to find so many ways to get rid of employees without giving them packages. My colleagues started looking for new jobs in panic, because they hoped to at least get the package when they are shown the door, but... — read more
This is an attack on older employees
Employees who are older and have been here for a while have higher salaries. Instead of laying them off and paying all of them hefty severance in the process, they've decided to force RTO on us. A good number of older employees is worried enough... — read more
Both ways
You can’t have it both ways. If I have to work from the office full time, I am not going to work from home any longer. Trust me Guy, you’re losing about 10-15 hours a week on that deal
It's a sad state we are in...
It is a sad state we are in these days here at Fiserv. Disheartening for us long term employees. Yes, the acquisition of First Data has caused much consternation but losing teams of people is painfully discouraging. Outstanding, smart, ethical... — read more
Just when I thought they could not get any lower
The good news is I found a new job and this morning I put in my 2 week notice. My manager called a “transition” meeting at 4:30 today and let me go with no pay for the final two weeks. Unbelievable. This OFD leadership cannot handle independent... — read more
Too bad.............
Too bad that there isn't SOME way to notify all or most of our clients to let them know how many people will be leaving the company due to this RTO mandate. Not that FB would change his tune but clients would at least given a heads-up that... — read more
Last Attempt
In reading many of the posts it seems a last desperate attempt from the perpetual work from home crowd to persuade someone/anyone that they can/will continue to work from home. Sorry game over!

Irrational decisions
Has this become a company of irrational decisions? Moving jobs to New Jersey is not the only such decision of our leadership, unfortunately. We no longer see moves that I would say are rational, well thought out and that will bring some benefit to... — read more
Sad but true
Take of the tape… The original Fiserv businesses are not stellar performers (people are good). The original First Data businesses are performing very well. Maybe Jeff knew what he was doing after all.
Fiserv, dat you?
A Japanese company and a North American company decided to have a canoe race on the St. Lawrence River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The North... — read more
We are hemorrhaging institutional knowledge at a rapid pace
Current management is acting like long-term institutional knowledge doesn't matter. Not only is nobody trying to keep people who are desperately needed for their knowledge, but they're also being actively pushed out in every new round of layoffs. Is... — read more
Fiserv asked me to move years ago
Years ago I was helping with onboarding a recently acquired business. It was a small company so bringing them into big company life wasn’t easy. I traveled 1-3 times a month to the site. Eventually the pressure started to get me to move. My pay at... — read more
Dinosaur mentality..
If the dinosaur mentality in this company were reflected only in the RTO, it would somehow be bearable. However, worst of all is that dinosaur mentality affects many more things at Fiserv, right?

RTO dress code
What's the dress code situation like at everyone's location? At mine, management is letting us wear basically whatever we want -- shorts, t-shirts, etc. Personally I'd rather just keep WFH and go back to being nekkie. Breathability is key to... — read more
King of Prussia
Who can fill me in on the status of the King of Prussia office? Will it be closed and team members forced to relocate or get laid off?
I'm willing to quit over this
I am not going back to the office. It's not even a coronavirus issue for me, I don't want to lose hours of my day once again now that I know how much of my life and quality time spent with my family I used to lose by sitting in my car and driving to... — read more
Keep Cool!
My advice to all you feeling the anxiety of positive moves, return to office, etc…would be take it down a notch, be flexible and open, don’t make rash decisions you may later regret.
Site Closures
With rumored site closures and a location reorganization, one has to wonder. Is Sioux Falls safe? It's a small ish site and many of the employees belong to teams already located in other areas. Is it a matter of time? Or does Sioux Falls contain... — read more
Is this "Return to Office" push Temporary?
My manager is telling me I need to go into the office because that is the push from the top-down (The majority of my team works in different states btw so why???). I go into the office, there are 4 people total in a building for hundreds, its a ghost... — read more
