Badging Out Required
We got an email that we are now required to badge out at the end of the day, on top of already badging in. In my opinion, this will be a new metric used to excuse any future RIFs and it seems unfair those of us who provide weekend and off-hours... — read more

Lake Mary

Last 2 days of the month, another round coming in the next 2 days? Or will they wait until 3/15?
Good riddance
Left the BH office earlier this month on my terms. Best decision made. I no longer feel stressed on so many levels. Fiserv has poor and lackluster management. They will throw things at you with no proper guidance. Figure it out or drown... — read more

How big an increase would keep you here?
I don't think the leadership particularly cares about retaining the best employees. However, I am interested in how much raise would motivate you to stay a little longer in this poorly managed company?
Any word on merit increases / promotions?

Everyone I know is looking for a new job

Sales Layoffs Coming?
Any news on more Sales Layoffs? Management is begging for business in Q1 and threatening more coming. Super high goals... and new support or products. Is this just the Fiserv way. Bring in new? Has anyone heard more details.
