Sunday Scaries
I left on my own for greener pastures last year. I have not had a single Sunday night where I dreaded going to work on Monday. It was daunting and I had to find the confidence but if you are a hard worker, do not undermine what you are worth.
Manager tip: Give notice on a Wednesday and let them know you won’t be at Fiserv starting Monday.
Give them the same notice they gave you to change your whole schedule. That’s what I’m doing here soon.

Fu-k fiserv
Everyone is a metric, a number and soon a relic
It was just cruel. It hit the old and the new and it also included people who were on leave as well. A lot of the selected were not chosen by their direct leadership team and some leaders did not get the opportunity to advise their employee...it was... — read more
Fiserv Layoffs Needs An App
Different Browsers connected to Fiserv Layoffs contain a Different subset of messages from current and laidoff employees...... this is either for a sinister purpose or a ridiculous error....either way we need an app so everyone can complain and... — read more
Not my problem anymore
Let them pile on the work as much as they want from now on, it’s not happening. They’ve been cutting staff, dumping the leftovers on us, and we’ve just gone along with it. This makes us as guilty as they are for letting it slide. But that’s over. If... — read more
Catching Up
I just "caught up" on the last week of posts/comments on here and WOW. Here's what I noticed: 1,700 employees RIF'd, people managers must be in office for 9 hours M-F beginning 12/1, and other employees must be in office for 9 hours M-Th (although... — read more
Clover Terminals…pay cash!!
They will not be benefiting from me! I pay cash every time I see a clover terminal… F’em
This would explain it: Bank side isn’t making $, they’re either selling it or replacing it
It’s actually pretty brilliant in a sadistic way. They have plans to either sell it or replace it by an acquisition. Either way, they’re going to get rid of a Lot of people sometime over the next couple of years. Also either way, they don’t really... — read more
Paperwork in
Around 1700 let go. More than 50% were over 50. So of course they take more time off- we have earned it! I even specially asked when hired and the response was “you are unlimited”- I took 3.5 weeks with no days off this past year for sickness. Not... — read more
The Lucky Ones
We had 2 managers let go from GBS operations who have been with the company close to 10 years. Now I need to pick up their slack with no extra pay… just new mandates. Why does it feel like those let go with severance are the lucky ones? Were left to... — read more
Is it me or does this last Layoff Off Feel different?
Is it me or does this last Layoff Off Feel different? This board has been through many RIF's however the amount of posts the comments the disbelief seems elevated. Does any one agree with me? The comments here are coming every few minutes. Did it go... — read more
So what are your plans for your Fiserv swag?
Unfortunately, for me, one of the mugs I threw and broke. I know, temper temper. The other two glass mugs have been donated to Goodwill, but my three pullover’s and multiple T-shirts have been donated to a homeless shelter. My relationship with... — read more
Today my last day
Good luck and it was great working with everyone. Today is my last day.
Did Fiserv make your "I'm grateful for" list?
Or let me rephrase that, did ANYTHING related to Fiserv, no matter how small, make that list?
I took another, less paid job
I just couldn’t cope with toxicity and control at Fiserv. I left for another job 4 months ago. I can’t be happier and more satisfied. It pays less, but life-work balance is great, the team is relaxed and reliable, and the manager is not an obsessive... — read more
Dear Fiserv
Dear Fiserv, We are now flying the proverbial white flag. We agree to let Sapien be our guide . Our Clients are no longer are focus. We hear you loud and clear on the eighth or nine hour day mandate. When we face issues for clients that go... — read more
I’m among those who were laid off
I do need a job, and I have nothing lined up. Yet I feel unburdened. My job at Fiserv was whittling me down.
Just Happy Thanksgiving
I know we are all dealing with changes whether in circumstances or policy. I am grateful for the people I get to work for and of course my family for whom I work tirelessly for at Fiserv.
You never want to be at the top and at the bottom
Typically Fiserv leadership (and I use that term loosely) cuts the lowest performers based on stacked rankings or performance indicators AND the highest paid. So you may have top performers being cut who have healthy (and often well deserved)... — read more
I'm not grateful to have a job
I wish people would stop telling me that I should be. There's nothing to be grateful for. Horrible pay, horrible benefits, horrible culture, all mixed in with being constantly overworked. I stand behind something I said once before: people who were... — read more
Fiserv Just Showed You How You Are VALUED
Day before Thanksgiving you were sent an email demanding longer hours the following week. Management knew about this for weeks. No one said anything.
New wallpaper is a slap in the face
“Success grows with gratitude” Aka, be glad you still have a job peasant. I can’t believe how tone-deaf they are.
What are you told as the reason you were laid off?
Are those who are recently laid off actually being told it’s because of Sapience hours or is that just an assumption? I’m also wondering if they can withhold your severance if that’s the reason you are let go. I also heard from the grapevine that... — read more
Tips for surviving
Okay, so you are still here and the market su-ks right now. Here are some serious tips for surviving as long as possible here. A lot of people already know this, this is for everyone else. Relax. You only live once. Don’t let this touch you... — read more
We all are very stressed and exhausted
We should all stop for a moment and think about what we can do about deteriorating culture, toxicity, and pressure, both psychological and work-related, we all are exposed to. I would say that we should support each other and think about ways we can... — read more
Welcome to 1984
Welcome to Fiserv
Q3 of 2024 not met
Well, I had a brutal awakening with my MGR from the Issuer org, that since we did not meet the numbers (unrealistic target), I was affected and got let go. Supposedly, other groups outside of LFI were affected (FIG). I was also litterrally in the... — read more

Remember to leave reviews on Glassdoor
They are anonymous and it's a metric companies care about. Fiserv is currently rated 3/5 on Glassdoor. I'm sure they have some reputation management company spamming good reviews with bots, but it will at least make some of the HR shills sweat if... — read more
D-mb move when clients need us most.
Why should we care at this point. They trust a flawed computer tracking system and the d-mb people who interpret it more than us. And in a world where we can enable work anywhere anytime and there is no 8-5. We don’t work at a mill with regular... — read more
It’s been a crazy morning in BH
Someone fell from the third floor in Berkeley Heights this morning. 2 Ambulances and 2 Police outside the building. FB was also spotted being de-briefed. Whether they fell, or “fell”, I’m not sure. Stay safe everyone and genuine condolences to that... — read more
Info is being planted here now
Scare tactics. Keep calm and carry on, fellow employees.

Sui-idal Thoughts
This place is causing me to have sui-idal thoughts and really bad nightmares. It has gotten so toxic here. Am I the only one?
