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
Just curious if anyone has approached a lawyer or the media
With everyone being told they either need to relocate (if not close to an office) or be let go - has anyone approached a lawyer about it? I'm especially curious about those who were hired as a remote employee. Also I remember FB bragging about... — 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
Absolute Clown 🤡 C.E.O and management
"Governor Murphy Announces Fiserv Will Build New Hub In Berkeley Heights 09/29/2021 Project Will Bring 1,927 New Jobs and Over $105 Million Investment to New Jersey TRENTON– Governor Phil Murphy today announced that Fiserv, a global leader in the... — 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?
Exit interview
Can anybody who quit tell me if there is an exit interview? I'm making plans to leave and while I don't want to burn my bridges I would love to tell them why I and so many more are choosing this option instead of staying or waiting for possible... — read more
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
The real goal
You don’t fire thousands of experienced people with the aim to improve operations. So it’s not about quality and better execution for customers. Whatever could it be? Folks it’s a massive accounting exercise to enable KKR and Frank a huge short... — read more
Don't sue Fiserv; You'll get Promoted instead of Fired
I tried filing a lawsuit hoping to get fired and get a severance. The wizards in Omaha saw through my plan. I was given an undeserved promotion. Now I'm forced to quit with no severance whatsoever.
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

Not sure about other lines of business but.....................
The one I work for will be decimated by the loss of several KEY people in KEY roles. This is assuming that NONE of them will want to relocate since they have all been remote for most or all of their Fiserv careers. I'll bet this is the case for most... — 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
Poor BentoBox
I hope they didn’t enjoy too nice of a culture at BentoBox. It’s about to be shredded to pieces if they did!
Last Day was thursday. Saw my job posted on linkedin at a lower salary level
I was part of the layoff and my last day was Thursday. I was told site consolidation and cost cutting were the reasons I was being laid off. My job was posted on Linkedin on Friday with an advisor title instead of the manager title I held so I'm... — read more
Cutting hard-working employees while leaving the fat unaffected
I think it's ridiculous that people are getting let go left and right while we have managers with only two or three direct reports who barely do anything all day but are never affected when it comes to cuts. The company keeps getting rid of... — read more
Fiserv advertising on this site
Does anyone else notice how often Fiserv advertisements appear on this website?
Thinking of switching roles
I've been having trouble finding a new job so I recently decided to try and switch to a new role within Fiserv to add more skills to my resume and make myself more marketable. That will keep me here for at least another year or two but considering... — 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?
(...) The upper management has no clue what others are doing in their jobs, nor do they understand the impact as to what their actions will ultimately lead to. It’s unfortunate to see a company such as this not care to put in the effort to see... — read more
All of the negativity
I am not saying it is unjustified, I just wish exec leadership cared. If your line staff is frustrated, burned out, on an exit plan, formally remote being forced into an office etc., how do you not expect this to impact client support/satisfaction... — read more
Frequent Clover Emails
Anyone else as excited as I am to get the emails pushing 'Clover' almost daily??
The plan
Frank and Guy will spend the one time cost budget from the merger. Costs will plummet due to the massive relocation layoff. The stock will pop because it’ll look extremely profitable on paper. Frank and Guy will exit with hundreds of millions of... — read more
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.
