Watch what you say...watch what you do...FB and his minions are watching you. That may not be a newbie sitting next to you but rather someone from HR spying on you.
Colleagues are leaving
A surprising number of people I know have left recently. Are you too noticing increased attrition?
More surveillance on the way
Leak about JP Morgan's Orwellian surveillance system. https://example.com/eviBgST0 Tldr: 24/7 monitoring by an algorithm that reports to your boss, laptop cam and mic always hot and sweeping your area for contraband at home or work, keylogging and... — read more
Lincoln
Based on an email today, it appears the newly created position of COO Banking, Operations, and Implementations will be based in Lincoln. The email and a follow up implied that more leadership changes were to follow. I wonder if that also means... — read more
Survey run by a company called Perceptyx
If its not anonymous as Perceptyx claims it to be, we can go after them. Also if you manager picks on you after the survey for any reason, you can file a complaint. Make sure you do. Recorded incidents are like insurance.
Hostile work environment
I hope everyone is paying attention. HR should be the ones to help out in these situations to calm this down, instead they stay quiet and push for enforcement. HR is not here for the employees and have never been. They are here only for the company... — read more

Does fiserv pay equally in positions?
List your title, salary, and gender here.
Miserable feeling
I don't know if it's part of their plan or not, but I think a lot of people here feel really miserable. Is it possible that this is what the leadership actually wants? Leaving this place means saving your health.
We were once excited
As one of the OFD people, I can say we were excited to join Fiserv… we heard tales of WFH, nice modern buildings, fitness/health centers at larger locations, good cafeterias, good working conditions. And more. Best of all is being rid of Frank and... — read more
New Hires
If anyone finds this board and is thinking about getting a job here, do it. I say this because we all need a job. Just keep looking too. If you only stay for a short time and move on, so be it. The way Fiserv treats people is the way they will get... — read more
Relationship Manager Role
Are RMs struggling in this environment? I haven’t seen anything mentioned on this board and I’m looking at a position, any feedback is welcome.
Could our work environment be any more toxic?
I should have seen the many, many warning signs and started exploring other options ages ago. It's like every day here is a battle just to survive, with negativity and drama permeating every single corner of this place. The toxicity is suffocating... — read more
Sr Advisor offer
Fiserv folks - I got offer for Sr Advisor role in Fiserv Atlanta location with 4 days a week in office. Before accepting offer i just want to know how is the company and culture???? I m seeing lot of negativity about RTO and tracking... — read more
Workforce Analytics
Did everyone receive the email for implementing workforce analytics to watch our productivity using Spiance ?
Your voice matters yea right
So how did everyone respond to the survey sent over today? I'm not expecting much change but it felt good to say how I felt.
Why bother?
You don't need to be the best. You don't need to even bother trying. Adequate is more than enough. I never thought I would be settling for adequate, but when going above and beyond provides you with absolutely nothing above people who are barely... — read more
Astronauts
We closed a large office in Melville some time ago, yet there are directors and VPs still out there as WFH astronauts. We even leased space at Wells Fargo Bank for them for awhile then WFH for cost savings. Why aren’t they required to drive to... — read more

Let me explain how this work
Most companies are metric-based companies where they use metrics to approximate how effective an employee is compared to other employees. They also consider other criteria when employees get the job done. Fiserv is not one of those... — read more
The double standard of this company is not even funny
So I work with a large group of people, 90% of them are remote position. I must be in the BH office, however. I have no problem with people working remotely, good for them, but the problem is those who WFH have no sense of working hours. They setup... — read more
BH built on contaminated waste site!!
Seems like FB was wheeling and dealing on a hazardous waste dump site. https://www.homefacts.com/environmentalhazards/superfunds/New-Jersey/Union-County/Berkeley-Heights.html
Anyone got ticketed in BH?
Is there anyone actually got a speeding ticket driving on Connell Drive in BH? There's a cop car sitting there every day. This is no upscale shopping center. Ever wondered what they are there for?
TIME TO TEST THE WATER!
Do NOT do the Associate Engagement Survey!!!! They all get measured by the level of engagement. It's more important than the actual results to upper management. They dont care about how you score things. It's a way to determine how many of us are... — read more

How many are actually looking elsewhere
How many are actually looking for another job due to the new mandates and basically the pay cut w inflation costs, and now work expenses?
Quality of work
There is no way that I will give my best in this kind of workplace. On the other hand, I wouldn't say that the management is particularly worried about the decline in the quality of work either. What do you think?
Fiserv is Out of severance money
I heard what’s going on, Fiserv is out of severance money for layoffs, but they still need to use RIFs to make quarterly numbers, so that’s why the strict rules. They’ll start firing for cause instead of layoff.
8 hours/day office time
Just heard that leadership had a call today, and they are planning to implement 8 hours/day office time policy….. things are getting out of control
Is the 8 hours a day tracking team dependent or company wide?
People are saying that they are being told they need to be in the office for 8 hours a day otherwise they have to use R&R days. I typically leave around 3 and haven’t been told anything so do I have anything to worry about?

Do you all think that Frank just wants mor friends?
Thats my theory on why we are back in office and everyone is being sucked into BH
This is a pay cut
My new coworkers and I originally did our jobs fully remote. It made training a nightmare, but we managed. Then they moved us to SH, then to BH. 0 days in office went to 3. Now 4, and inevitably 5. This is undeniably a pay cut in disguise. From how... — read more
People should leave fiserv
I know most of the people I worked with in 3 different business units are gone because they were let go, pushed out or found other jobs. Nobody was safe and some of the people I knew were absolutely brilliant. Why anyone would stay in a company... — read more
They really said Fiserv does not do Layoffs
On a call today with Roman sickIUnas, he said that Fiserv had not had layoffs and we should be GRATEFUL! This was in response to people who are upset about having to come back into the office.
Easier said than done
I have always said that there is no way I will do double workloads. Many people say that, but then the next moment they do whatever additional work gets assigned to them. I envy those who really manage to keep their manager from adding more to... — read more
Dress Code
I know I’m preaching to the choir but I will never follow a dress code again. F that. Wear what you want. Be comfortable.
