Why I chose to relocate?

Tough decision but I choose to relocate. My financial situation is such that I cannot afford to lose my job. However, the main reason I agreed to relocation is because I know from previous experience how hard it is to get a new job when you don’t... — read more

There are worse things

Honestly people. If the worst thing in your life is working for a company that is run by those who you don’t agree with then you have many things to consider. You could be on unemployment with no health insurance like the millions of others out... — read more

Mandatory vaccines

As of Dec 8, a term of employment at Fiserv will be getting the Covid vaccine. “If you say no, you cannot work here”

In the end

They RIF or drive away you not matter what. If the money and situation is working, then stay. But if you’re putting any trust in these people, seriously consider your approach. I wish you all well

I don't think this is really a choice

At this point, being offered a chance to relocate or be laid off are the two sides of the same coin. If you've been talking to people or even just reading all the posts here, it's clear that choosing to relocate is just a temporary reprieve. So many... — read more 

Clients will suffer and then leave

'Our clients want greater collaboration and coordination... blah blah blah...' Be truthful - our clients don't give a flying F where or how we accomplish tasks, as long as we get our work done and they are not inconvenienced. I haven't heard (in my... — read more

Is there anyone that is happy in this company?

To be honest, working here I started to hate my job. I thought it was impossible for that to happen because I really loved what I was doing, but at Fiserv it is not impossible for you to get sick of your job. Too bad, this used to be a completely... — read more

One of the worst companies to work with!

My manager told me to move to NJ or leave the Job! I regret putting my off hours into the job and work to get priority tasks complete, which can replace me in a week or two.

Disconnect from reality…

Some of the posts talk about the Nirvana of quitting your job and getting this great new job at companies where profits don’t matter, clients are a mere afterthought and chocolate soda flows freely for all the wonks to eat until they split their... — read more 

It's too late by now

I don't think there's saving this company. Most of the people people who mattered are gone now. Those who made it thrive have been lost. Those few who are left are barely hanging on. We have to do more work than ever and for what? To try and make the... — read more

Amazing the bad advice…

So many posts here that start with the vitriol of stick it to them by quitting your job. Yes what a great way to get back at Frank, (who by the way you’ve never met). So they Twitter you into quitting your 175,000 a year job and then what? When... — read more 

Sources

I have it from pretty good sources that relocating will give you zero consideration on the next round of layoffs in late 2022. In fact they are treating people who relocate as extended transfer of knowledge. Once that is complete your usefulness is... — read more

Play the game

When negotiating your exit, maximize any dollars you can get. And don’t worry about following their stipulations to the letter. They will lie to you, you owe them nothing. Take the money, grab another job as soon as you can and double dip the he-l... — read more

Vaccine mandate

Vaccine mandate coming any day. Provide proof of vaccination by January 1st, 2022 or the company will accept “not vaccinated” as your resignation. Those people affected by “relocation or gtfo” must abide by the mandate too. If you don’t, no severance... — read more 

Think for a second

If I a company feels compelled to make you move across the country FOR THEM, do you think you matter to them after you move. Please don’t make bad personal choices for these con men. You’re better than that

Making everyone's job harder

Why do they have to make everyone's job harder than it already is? Is that a way to get rid of those who haven’t been given layoffs? My manager is this self-important, micromanaging control freak and tries his best to make the job harder. When he... — read more

Sioux Falls viability

Seeing as Sioux Falls is not on Frank's list of "hubs," what does this mean in terms of the go-forward strategy? Will they ask us to relocate to NE?

Who’s supporting the clients?

Does anyone have any thoughts on who will be supporting the clients once most of the staff leaves voluntarily? I’ll tell you right now after the news broke there have already been several resignations of some high caliber talent. Leaving folks who... — read more

This will turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes

I am almost certain that after a while these cuts will turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes of this company. Karma, huh? On the other hand, until then most of those who are cut find much better jobs because it is not easy to find much worse... — read more

I envy those who were let go

I can't be the only one. They received severance and can now relax for a while and enjoy being out of this toxic place to the fullest. We are the ones who got the short end of the stick. We're still here, having to deal with the same horrible... — read more 

Too many managers

I’m trying to imagine if Fiserv could possibly operate with far fewer managers. Does this company really need all these managers?

Being Let Go

I hope that Jeffy is enjoying his millions knowing he screwed over the loyal Fiserv workers for the POS First Data people. I have been working from home for several years with very high performance reviews, but now am told i must relocate. Su-k it... — read more

Not going to

I’m not uprooting my family to move to a city I’ve never been to. I’m not trusting fiserv to not fire me after I move. I’m not trusting current leadership even knows how to run this company. I hope I get some severance but either way, I’m out — read more

Are they totally disconnected from employees?

It can only get worse here

Judging by the situation as this year is coming to an end, I can't even imagine what awaits us here next year. More work? Generally less valued employees? My only hope is that I will find a new job and that in 2022 I will not even be here.
