Well, as of of today, I've been laid off. 26 years in and a 6 minute phone call with HR.

anyone said EEOC? the joke of the century.
Just an FYI, here is what EEOC lists for Age Discrimination
The following practices constitute age discrimination
1) Requiring workers to retire once they reach a certain age
2) Treating older workers worse than younger workers, by, for example, targeting them for layoff or discipline
3) Giving younger workers higher pay or more favorable work assignments
4) Making decisions, based on stereotypes about older people (for example, refusing to include older workers in training program because of a belief they are unwilling or unable to learn new things)
If any of these things have happened to you, you may file a charge of discrimination with the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
You may also file a lawsuit for age discrimination. However, the employee must first file a charge discrimination with the EEOC to get a “right to sue” letter.

How to File a Charge
Appears to be the new norm in Fiserv. I was let go by my manager by phone call as well. Not classy at all. Just sad to treat your people like this.
180 - Alpharetta and some remote workers. My contact works for Technology services. IT got whacked real hard. Some outfits - mine - may get wiped out entirely.
That's sad... Which location was it that had 180 cut? And which BU?
One floor in Fiserv had 180 (true) cut - very somber day.
Sorry to hear - HR can be rude and unfeeling. This seems a management purge more than anything else, lower level staffers not hit .......yet
Sorry to hear. What division were you in and what was the severance like?
