As an HR Professional with three years of experience I know the following: Real performance management occurs throughout the year, in fact daily between a manager and employee - the appraisal should just be a re-cap of and final tally of how one... — read more
Fiserv Layoffs 2024
This is a master thread about Fiserv layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
EOY bonus 2023
are we getting some EOY bonus in 2023, did not see it on my pay check today so wondering!
Did I miss a memo?
Yesterday & today less than 10 cars in the parking lot…some show as OOO but most just offline so not WFH & I know they don’t have PTO time left nor on unlimited. Of course my manager is OOO to ask why TF I’m commuting 2 hrs to sit in an empty office... — read more
Lousy managers
We need to do a much better job of identifying and then promoting people who know what they're doing and who have the experience to do the job. I'm so tired of seeing people get promoted based on who they know or how good they are at brown-nosing. No... — read more
The Berkley Heights scabs got the whole week of Christmas off
The seniority range for my entire team is between 10 and 28 years. They have hired half our replacements in BH. Half of us were unable to get this week off. But the entire team of replacements in BH have the entire week off. Fiserv is not only... — read more
Predictions
What do you see happening with layoffs in 2024
I love it
I love how the schills within Fiserv try to, once in a while, throw in a positive post. Everyone knows by now that the company is trash and one of the worst to work for. By far the worst in the industry. The company has gone down hill ever since the... — read more
Remote positions?
How fair it is for those coming into an office are watched for badge swiping, while many are still remote? Please don't think I want anyone to lose their job. Employees are afraid to work at home when sick because of showing up on a report so sick... — read more
Sales commission after quitting
I am most likely leaving Fiserv in the coming weeks. I’m in a sales position (cards) and wondering if anyone might be able to answer a few questions. when I give my 2 weeks will I be automatically terminated? I have a deal that will now close... — read more
AI
After reading GW's email today, I guess AI will solve the problem of letting veteran employees go. I hope the machines take over. LOL!
Happy Holidays?
It’s one thing to no longer have holiday parties when you’re remote, but there really is no love for the remote employees. The last “gift” we received was a box of antibacterial hand sanitizer, rubber gloves and masks. This is the lowest I’ve ever... — read more
Good luck to those remaining
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak... — read more
Morale is at an all-time low
Some try to boost morale but it's not working. Others have given up hope and are just ki-l'n time. The rest are just milking this cow for everything it's got.
I'm no longer sure which is better
Being unemployed or being employed but miserable. I thought being unemployed was the worst possible thing but now I'm rethinking that position. Working here might be worse.
Back to short hills
Is it true they are moving people back to short hills due to the overcrowding at BH?
People that leave regret it
The grass isn’t always greener. Then they come to this board and post bad things to justify them leaving
Most of the employees are very unhappy at Fiserv
I haven't seen this much hate towards a company from its employees in my entire life, and I'm not young. It's shocking to see and be a part of something like this. I'm worried that the company will go out of business soon due to this kind of employee... — read more
Hostile work environment
These RTO and layoffs have created a hostile work environment. There are no longer people internally who want to help those on the front lines with clients. Everyone is pushed to their mental breaking point and it is showing…
We Have Hard Working People
If you are in the office or remote, thank you for working hard.
why go to BH office
Teams are remote, even if they force, just stop going into that crowded office and they will adjust to it! Its the worst office space, too noisy , over crowded, conf rooms cant be used more than an hour, horrible expensive food, no parking, and then... — read more
Our new cr-ppy laptops are quiet quitting
Love these new cr-ppy laptops, they force us to go sloooow

Anyone else experiencing issues with both chrome and edge not downloading files or opening files? Also files will not delete from download folder on the hard drive. It's not an isolated issue and IT is clueless. Must be the result of all the... — read more
Stop asking
To the person who posted this on two separate threads re: people getting their notice: “Can I ask what division or platform you are in?” Stop. For one, it doesn’t matter. Secondly, it makes you look like you’re with management trying to get info... — read more
60 days notices
Started to come down this week. 4 of my coworkers received theirs today, I have a 1:1 tomorrow. So much relief! I am morally exhausted.
My day is here
I got my 60 days notice today without replacement, I asked HR who will handle my case load, she said my leadership will figure it out. I am taking the remaining days of the year off under the unlimited R&R Merry Xmas All! Signing off after 18 years... — read more
Clients/Resources
Do you think our clients have figured out that we have no resources left?
What do you love about your job?
No place is 100 percent bad. There have to be some things that are keeping you here. What are they? For me, it's my coworkers. My team is an amazing group of people I enjoy working with. My manager is also a decent guy, which helps a lot. Sadly... — read more
Sixty days after replacements?
If we’re told we’re finished sixty days after our replacements are hired, what does that mean exactly? What if it takes them a year to hire a replacement? I want the severance and I’m totally ok with training them but honestly, when will this... — read more

Where is the greener grass?
I'll admit I probably waited too late in the year to begin looking (beginning of Q4) but WHERE are these jobs everyone claims to be getting? Where are you getting 40% raises? Which company's culture are you bragging about? I need to know which... — read more
First Data
I worked at checkfree and then Fiserv acquired us. CheckFree was better but things change. Fiserv was a fine company with tons of good people. Then the first data crew showed up. They were A$$. This most morally bankrupt and no talent bunch I ever... — read more
