Managers here like to keep piling work on the donkey's back and wait for it to kick. If the kick never happens, they just keep adding. In the few cases when the donkey does kick, they pet it on the back, tell him/her what a great job he/she is doing... — read more
Head of Human Resources or Chief Executioner?
I was a leader in HR at FD under Frank and his evil henchman Tony. It was a soul crushing job. To work in HR there now is to live in denial. You are enabling the worst HR practices. You should be ashamed professionally. Tony is a hack that has been... — read more
Fiserv stock keeps plunging down
Any bets it goes into the 80's in the next month?
So much change recently...
Used to be great. The actual working people are awesome... and even lower mgmt is good. Upper mgmt has total cranial-rectal inversion since COVID ended. Forcing everyone back into an office. Even though it's not needed. Overbearing surveillance of... — read more
Pack your bags Brookfield!
For as much as Frank the robot danced around the new building question during his town hall tour stop, it seemed pretty clear downtown Milwaukee is where Brookfield/HQ is heading next, with an official announcement in the next couple of months.
Remote working flexibility by law? (Go Berkely)

Managers here are not impressed by hard work
Working my best, picking up the slack, being punctual, eager to learn, bringing solutions and not problems - - - - - - none of that is enough for my boss to stop treating me like dirt. I really care about keeping this job as long as possible, but I... — read more
Don't believe this is correct thinking
@kgg+1hwLqO6W - not sure a validation database is a correct way of looking at salary at all or true The previous poster that says give them what you want is true, based on your experience and skills. You do not have to give your previous salary... — read more
Saying prayers for everyone
Fiserv is treating employees worse than ever and everybody working here deserves so much more. Don't let them convince you otherwise is true. I see people getting depressed and it breaks my heart. You are ten times better than this company! So many... — read more
Discontinue agile
My manager uses agile as an excuse to shove ambiguous and half-baked Jira features down all of our throats. There is no guidance or direction given to us at all, it is just "go do this and don't get it wrong". Then when we make decisions we get... — read more
Cuts often hurt businesses very hard
It is clear that cost-reduction strategies are a coping mechanism for difficult economic conditions. However, I think the cuts at Fiserv were much larger than they should have been and it is increasingly noticeable that they had negative... — read more
Who is responsible for toxic workplace?
It's no wonder that talents are leaving here, the negativity in the workplace has become almost unbearable. Who is responsible for that? I am afraid that if they do not find a way to fix this unhealthy atmosphere it will be even more difficult to... — read more
Those That Have Been Laid Off Prevously
How log did it take to get severance package , and close out 401k , I know I'm on the list to be laid off soon
I need a proper vacation
The last three days and how much I absolutely detested the thought of work this morning made me realize that I need a proper vacation or to leave Fiserv. I haven't been able to take a day off outside of a holiday for nearly two years and I should... — read more
Read those job ads carefully
I've noticed in the last few months that a lot of jobs that have "REMOTE" in the title are actually hybrid and not fully remote. I'm not sure what's the point of this since most people who are searching for remote jobs are nowhere near offices they'd... — read more
Happy Fourth of July!
This is the one week in a year when we can relax and not worry about layoffs. Let's celebrate!
Fiserv campuses falling apart
I have traveled to a couple locations in the past couple of months and they are literally falling apart. Bugs crawling on walls, restrooms running out of paper towels, toilets overflowing, A/C apparently broken leading to sauna-like working... — read more
I think I messed up
I was asked by my potential future employer for a number they can use as a starting point in my offer, and I think I fu---d up and managed to lowball myself. I've been underpaid by Fiserv for so long that I stopped valuing my work properly. Does... — read more
Watch who you hire
Incompetent management hired from US Bank could be playing a role in the downfall of FiServ. Bad leadership cannot retain good talent.
Stock price history
2019 57% gain. 2020 1.5% loss 2021 9% loss. 2022 14% loss. I wonder what changed, it’s quite a mystery
Newest headcount
From 44000 to………..37940. Again. This is found in the tax document area in workday. Click on the three dots after Fiserv Solitions LLC.
Leadership's complaints
It would be interesting to know what the leadership remarks are. We have many complaints but what could be theirs? What do you think?
Easy to say
It’s a good and easy advice to tell someone “don’t work more than 40 hours weeks”. However, why does this not work in practice??? I simply can't tell my manager I won't work overtime because he doesn't want to hear it. I think he would do... — read more
Employees
Fiserv employees are leaving in droves. The mask to the public eye can only last so long.
What’s up at Coral Springs???
Can anyone share a little bit more about what is happening at the Coral Springs office???
Employees
Spend more time complaining than working. Frank has the vision and this thing is going to take off like spacex. Easily $300 in 5 years. Get on board !!!
Fiserv
Fiserv is going to struggle with the loss of talent. You complete your own sentence beginning with Fiserv.
Frank
Is and always has been an "id--t" executive. There is no company.
The criteria have dropped drastically
I have no doubt that Fiserv would be very happy to attract and retain talented people who will do a lot of work, but what is it doing to attract them? Nothing. I wouldn’t like to offend anyone, but most new hires don’t have or have very poor... — read more
Here is a scary thought .
Fiserv is considered a company that provides critical infrastructure to the US and I assume other countries as well. What if Frank is making these cuts, and other proposed cuts in the future, because through his government and other financial... — read more
Frank
Is running a business not a daycare, sometimes you have to trim the fat. Heads down and grow this company. Team orange
Hire more people!
How much longer will we have to do the work of several people? How long before Fiserv stops working employees to 60+ hours a week, instead of hiring more staff? The "we can't find good candidates to hire" can only hold up for so long before there are... — read more
Fiserv
Hanging tough over $90 which is a great sign. Some cost cutting may be required but great times are ahead for Frank and team !!!!
How safe do you think your job is?
When I talk to my colleagues, everyone keeps repeating the same thing, and that is that no one’s job is safe. Okay, of course there is no guarantee that anyone will keep their job until retirement, but I, for example, feel that my job is safe for... — read more

Fiserv Employees Say Not a Good Place to Work
Frank is destroying the company and its employees. Last week he laid off knowledgeable service associates who support our most valuable clients. Clients complain daily about the problems we cause them. It is an embarrassment to work for this company... — read more

Been here for six months
After how many months/years should I start looking for other opportunities? I'm still gaining what I believe to be valuable experience but everything else about working here has been a disappointment. I'm trying to figure out how much longer should I... — read more
The power of managers
Some blame managers for everything, even for things that managers cannot influence at all. What do you think, how big is the power of managers here?
