Interesting call??
I heard there was an interesting call earlier this week or last. Rumor has that there was a town hall that got really heated overpay and being able to find money for deion Sanders but not find money for anyone else. Does anyone have the cliff notes... — read more
Dear Fiserv...
If you want people to return to the office how about making the office a place people want to return to and not a place people are forced in to. You can start by throwing away 'the list'. You know the one...where they track sapience, badge swipes per... — read more
Rumor running about
Last few days a lot of rumors on remote employees being let go. Town hall coming next week. Any info to share? Is there any truth to it and/or what is the scope? Tired of waiting and wondering.
Changed the perspective
I allowed myself to be so overworked that I lost sight of my own needs and the capacity to rationally assess my work here. I just stopped working hard when I realized I’ve been losing all my energy, time and health to this job. This was soon followed... — read more
Employee Survey is out
Questions: 1. Are you going to complete it? 2. Why or why not? Also this confidential survey associates your work location to your responses, so if you're team is scattered (like ours) your manager will very easily know your responses. I can't... — read more
Get your popcorn....
Enjoy the show.....this is some crazy stuff. Reality TV stuff...Office has got nothing on us.
I feel trapped here
I made a huge mistake of locking myself into a position (let me rephrase that, of letting them lock me into a position) that is basically the end of my career. If I were to change jobs, I'd have to go for an entry-level position whatever I'd decide... — read more
Sudden "retirements"
So all of a sudden there is rash or "retirements" being announced. This was a trend earlier in the year as well, from a few people that were a bit young to be retiring. As if we were not losing enough people to wanting to just get out, it appears... — read more
What’s going on with the cores
Heard there is a big reorg happening in DNA and Signature and RTO will be forced again in September? Anyone know what is happening?
Deon and Frank. One in the same.
Did you know that Deion Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes head coach, has been accused of bullying behavior on multiple occasions? Since Frank likes to associate with and pays an accused "bully" to "motivate" his workforce, does this mean that Frank... — read more
A New Low....

Layoff for Cheater Workers......

Let The Chaos Begin
Well the change to regional RM coverage is under way and its as chaotic as one might have expected. And in several cases its not even regional to where an RM lives, as it was originally pitched. It is a free for all with opportunities, the original... — read more
Did something happen last week?
Was something communicated widely to US based associates last week that I missed? I’ve seen multiple US based fiserv associates post on LinkedIn that they are looking for a new role but are still employed at fiserv, all of the posts 1 week old. It... — read more
Only measure of performance
Pretty sad Fiserv in that your only measure of performance is... Sapience Number of days in the office (for those who have an office to go to) Number of hours spent in the office Fall below the thresholds set by those who have no idea what... — read more
Shilly
Whatever happened to Ride the cricket Shilly? Oh the irony if he was riffed!
It’s been quiet
So they got us down to a skeleton crew, and now it’s just individuals getting hit and not backfilling when anyone leaves?
Computer Issues
This week my computer has been incredibly slow, even more so than normal. For reference takes over an hour to restart and can’t get any applications to open. Others on my team have the same issues, can’t get any work done. Anyone know what is causing... — read more
Unlimited Time Off
How much time are you really being allowed? In my team it's basically forbidden to go over 33 days. I hate this heavy tracking for something that's supposed to be "unlimited." Wanted to know what others are experiencing.
Forum Registration numbers down
The clients are talking with their wallets and they don't feel we are worth the trip to Vegas. Considering they opened registration way earlier this year, they are trending behind last year and way behind the stated goal of 3200 for this year. Today... — read more
Frank latest debacle - Regionalization
ok Frank time for some straight talk from a respected sales leader. Your plan for regionalization is a bad solution looking for a problem and your latest self inflicted destruction of our company. Unfortunately none of your direct reports has the... — read more

Daily Pipeline Calls
We are reaching peak insanity. Our team manager is having 2 different calls, daily, related to pipeline management. There have been a few posts recently about no long term strategy and when you move to daily calls for pipelines, the ship is going... — read more

There isn't any room for actual strategy which would include growth
KKR has made it abundantly clear: Reduce expenditures at all costs. I believe this is why employees hear, observe, and conclude that there isn't any strategy. If your directive is to reduce expenditures and prop up revenue, you will always drive... — read more
Apac CIO has resigned or something else?
SD recently is in the process of leaving. Was he fired or did he resign?
What is the plan?
Reduce headcount with AI strategy. Move non-AI compatible IT jobs to India. Reduce real estate footprint by consolidating data centers and eliminating duplicative platforms. You won’t find words like develop, retain, or grow. Why do you still work... — read more

Fiserv office visits
Any reason why one of the higher ups from GBS credit/risk is at Coral today?
Bye bye Datacenters.
Beware all Fiserv datacenter employees. Fiserv is shifting their data centers to a company called UFS. It’s going to start with the Brookfield DC, and will spread to others once complete.
Those who were laid off are the lucky ones
I'm betting you that all of them have new jobs by now in better companies and are much happier than they were here. Meanwhile, we're stuck here slowly sinking on this Titanic as things keep getting worse and worse in every possible way. I envy every... — read more
Don’t pick up work after others
Why should any of us do that? Is there objective reason, any benefit, any extra pay? They’ll try to pit us against each other, just pretending that work performance will be a criteria during the next round of layoffs. As if being a dedicated high... — read more
