After years of forcing talented employees out over return-to-office mandates, this company is now spending even more to recruit less experienced replacements in “approved” office locations—often at significantly higher salaries because of... — read more
Back to missing earnings.
I’m not really surprised anymore, but it would be nice to have a win one of these quarters
Proof that Fiserv still does H1Bs

Earnings Bloodbath
So, how bad are earnings going to be?? I’m inferring by the lack of internal fanfare that it’s going to be another quarter in decline. I know it would not materially change anything but I’d love to hear from the C level some admission of guilt, a... — read more
Merit Increase
So are incentive eligible folks at the company just not getting any merit increase this year? How has this not been addressed at all?
feels like we’re working in a washing machine
“swirl” is an understatement. and execs don’t know or care, they just keep hitting buttons and yelling at the machine
long term prospects
jana being involved is a huge positive. these are the exact moves we need to make. let's all do a little more and get this back to $200 !!!

Fiserv Stock Back Above the Lyons Departure Price
Let me tell you a couple of three things: forget the excuses, forget the value Lyons managed to erase, and forget the corporate incompetence that put Fiserv in this position. Takis took that stock—weak, embarrassed, wandering around like it had no... — read more
Forum is less than 3 weeks away
With all the executive turnover, it feels like this Forum is going to be rough from a client messaging perspective. I'd be seriously questioning if there is enough actual leadership to move the company forward. Also, the conference website shows... — read more
Pete C. - What happened to him?
I just refreshed the executive leadership page and Pete C is missing. Also one of the guys with the Turbans is gone. Man people are dropping like crazy off that page. I wonder when Guy will finally drop off.

Think Like an Executive
You should be thinking like an executive saying to yourself how much can I strip out of this company while contributing as little as possible.
DEAR FISERV
AI is not a strategy

Big VIP meeting in Alpharetta
Any news on what this big VIP meeting in Alpharetta is about today? They blocked off a bunch of parking and have a security guard out in the parking lot for them today
I can't do this for much longer
After back-to-back meetings about the same things we had meetings about last week and a passive-aggressive ping from a director who can't articulate what he wants, yesterday I was tempted to google "fast food hiring near me." I'm honestly at the... — read more
WSJ Article on Frankie the fraud
Long article on FB in terms of his past at JPM and FD/Fiserv I tend to believe the accusations and love the fact he’s the lead story that brings up his past selfish and unprofessional activities. Spying, clawing his way up the ladder, seems like a... — read more
Not enough trust to fill out J’s surveys
Appreciate the effort to send out surveys to show how difficult this place is to get anything done, but history has shown that people here who complain about the insanity are considered “bad attitude “ and given the axe in the next round of layoffs.
AgentOS progress
how is this project really going? been hearing a lot of buzz inside and outside of this company. people don’t seem give a lot of credit here.
Hard work gets you nowhere
You work your butt off every single day and what do you get as a reward? More work. No promotion, no raise, just more piled on your plate. Why bother?
Is Takis worse than Lyons?
Mike Lyons has a Glassdoor approval rate of 70, while Takis has a 41. Takis, our new ceo, has a rating lower than most other CEOs. Is he this bad? Thoughts? Need to plan for my next step if he’s indeed so much worse than Mike Lyons…
No WFH due to air quality?
I would have thought that air quality being in the hazardous range would have been justification to work from home but I reckon not.
This post by HR makes me sick
The comments are very pukey too. "TIME's America's best companies list which recognizes organizations that stand out for employee satisfaction, financial performance, and sustainability transparency." What a joke. Employees are not satisfied... — read more
Clowns, Jokers, and Jesters
Fiserv is the most inept and incompetent company on the planet. If you want to watch a circus, it’s all here. My advice is don’t let anyone at this organization lower your worth. Stand up for what you believe and don’t settle for anything less.

Merit Increase
Are we really going to silently accept a drop in our real salaries? At the first townhall this year we were told we'd get an update on merit increase by June. It's mid-July. No update. No explanation. Nothing. Leadership had no problem making the... — read more

New CTO flies his airplane to work
He said he flies his personal airplane to work during today’s Townhall. How much are these guys getting paid? The environmental cost… seems out of touch to casually drop that during a Townhall.
The hardest part
We have managers who have no idea what they're doing yet they insist on micromanaging every step of our work. You can just imagine how well that works out. To say it's counterproductive would be an understatement. Lay off all the useless managers and... — read more

Ouch. I am fairly sure Fiserv still retains the largest build out for IBM.
AI costs absorption?
How can fiscam justify the push of AI now that the costs are becoming clearer? Another cost to drive share price much lower!

Truist employee here. Not a fan of BR but curious about our new CEO. Anyone want to share their thoughts?
