With the announcement of Fiserv’s new CEO, there’s a strong possibility that work from home will become a permanent option. The new CEO has received great approval ratings on Glassdoor and is known for rejecting micromanagement. A source close to the... — read more
My team was just dissolved (GBS)
Slow motion train crash over the past half year. No real notice, then sweeping changes in the past 48 hours. Engineering team. They are promising no one is being dropped but I highly, highly doubt it.
Good News / Bad News!
Good news: Glassdoor shows 65% of people approve of the PNC CEO (soon to be Fiserv’s CEO) 👍, compared to only 35% for Frank, the current Fiserv CEO 👎. So, it’s probably for the best that Frank is on his way out and Lyons is stepping in. The bad... — read more
PNC employee on CEO
He’s a workhorse for sure. I’m at PNC a few years now and have been around him a handful of times. Obviously intelligent and knows the biz, but he’s approachable and communicates clearly. Soft rumor that he’s a voracious reader and sleeps 4 hours a... — read more
Prepare for cuts
The new guy is definitely going to want to show the board and shareholders that they can rely on him from the very start, and the easiest way to do that is to make a big impression - major cost cuts through layoffs. I’d bet anything that we’ll see a... — read more
A change in CEO won’t bring anything new
Or, God forbid, anything better for us. Fiserv is just a bland corporation, fixated on the bottom line, shareholders, and bonuses, with an unsettling obsession with surveillance. Don’t expect the new CEO to make changes that improve our situation. If... — read more
Another banker?
This is the last nail in the coffin! “Technology” company ran by bankers!
New guy
Let’s hope he cleans house.
RSU Lawsuit
Has anyone heard of a successful lawsuit to recoup forfeited RSU’s due to layoff?
PNC employee feedback on new CEO
good guy. In office every day policy. Minimum 10 hours a day. That’s prob why your people picked him.

Fake Meetings
What's the crazy I am hearing about one person fake meetings?! Like our workforce seriously cannot be this dense right?
Unbelievable
When I tell my friends about this place and the monitoring and other BS here, they can’t believe it. It is embarrassing to say yo work for Fiserv. Most of my friends work in fintech and nobody has anything like this. It is like a prison camp. Is... — read more
Not leaving empty-handed
Looks like they’re pulling every trick in the book to get rid of employees and dodge severance payouts. Mounting workload, bullying, micromanagement, reduced bennies... But I’m not walking away without something to show for it. Unless some dream... — read more
Fallon Mean Tweets
How great would it be to have CEO go on Jimmy Fallon and read these comments..."mean tweets" style? Better yet read them in his beloved cnbc squawk on the street song & dance show? Make everyone watch it on an all hands right before he runs over from... — read more
Berkeley Heights got busted for fake meetings
Word on the street is that some Berkeley Heights employees got busted for creating fake meetings in order to get sapience hours. No idea if they are let go or what happened to them. Anyone knows anything about this?
Badge Swipes
The word is that the swipe monitoring is being enhanced to deduct the in and out times during the day. Example lunch break, smoking, walks, going to car, etc.
The cost of greed
Once a thriving company, Fiserv is now just a shadow of what it used to be. Loyal, hardworking employees are let go, while the real dead weight sits pretty, thanks to connections higher up. It's frustrating to watch as bad decisions fueled by greed... — read more
Unlimited R&R time
I hear that HR is quietly removing the word “unlimited “ from all documents. So it begs the question….are they trying to skirt the law around defined time off for exempt employees? How do they stand up to not paying for unused time if laid off? How... — read more
Off Site Parking BH
Anyone have any updates on the off site parking situation at Berkeley Heights? Is it going to be overflow once the campus lot fills or will it be assigned parking?
Disgusting
Could not be more disappointed in leadership today. The cold warnings in Milwaukee are not a joke, option to stay at home today should have been extended and was last year for similar cold stretch and warnings. Your precious badge data is not more... — read more
New CEO
For the love of God who is our new CEO. How can they have waited this long to announce this.
Fiserv Merger or Acquisition?
Has anyone else heard those rumors?
Open same positions after layoffs
Don’t seem to understand why layoff experienced employees and than look for new people.
Why will anyone go to gibbons all hands?
As bad as work is here, it’s not so bad that I’d escape it for an hour to listen to “the undertaker” feed us cr*p and tell us it’s caviar. Dude lives in a mansion because he has no soul.
Sapience
I wonder if our colleagues in the UK can use this https://www.bankingdive.com/news/barclays-fine-ICO-monitoring-employees/583231/
Their "spying" isn't even being used for real issues
Some JPMorgan employees think the system is already being used to mine the kind of information that could contribute to layoff lists or lists of people whose bonuses will be squeezed. Maybe if they spent more time doing actual work instead of... — read more

Fiserv future techies
The afterschool STEM program that’s been running for a few years now is such a phoney project for some people to feel good about themselves. They only recruit from very rich neighborhoods (watchung and Berkeley heights). Convenient that Watchung is... — read more

Make up time
Since when did the policy change that you are required to makeup time for exempt employees? I feel like I'm an hourly employee again.
Fiserv and SSecurity for Retirees

Aussie aussie HR! Boo boo boo
Rejecting flex work requests based on medical reasons, not following local laws, spying on staff so they don’t leave early. Making those experiencing personal loss more traumatised. I lost my father and they immediately send me a letter asking me to... — read more
