About time to clean out remnants of SW wrecking ball crew

Fiserv cannot afford to keep ineffective, incompetent, inexperienced VPs! Waste of $$$$. They warm their seats, collect a nice salary and add no value. Their staff runs the ship without them - why keep them?? Their resume speaks for themselves - no real leadership or industry experience or knowledge and they don’t care about us or our clients! Someone explain WHY in the heck they get to take advantage of Fiserv?! We are dying here! Someone take responsibility!!! Let’s win back our reputation!


Work feels

I don’t want to do any work, clearly why should we work when Sarah doesn’t give a damn about anyone but greedy self.
Sarah is a character she talks about the struggles of her mother and what she did for her on LinkedIn for Mother’s Day. Than she does this. Come on do better and stop being fake.


Medtronic Corp dev has to be the d-mbest group in the world

Is anyone fed up with the rampant stupidity of this group? Forget diligence because that would mean they would need to actually work but what loser approved cerevasc? That company is a scam and these mo--ns in corp dev are clueless who keep repeating the same old tricks again and again to drive the company into the ground


We are back baby!

Down another 50% in last year, now back to 2017 pricing. Tragicomic Q3 results puts this abject clownshow near 130 by EOD.

When your "operating model" is to find the most enthusiastically incompetent, dishonest, lazy "leaders" available and give them absolute control over sales, marketing, and service delivery...


Layoffs, are you kidding?

They can't keep people it is such a terrible company to work for and ever since the Rentokill mess, it's worse. The techs can't do their jobs efficiently since their planners clearly don't understand a map or distance. They schedule 6 8-10 stops that are 20 miles apart and mandate the amount of time you have to spend at each stop. The leadership are all the latest failures from unrelated industries like Burger King or some other cr-p job. The after hours work of calling customers and fixing the scheduling the planners can't get right reduce your hourly pay to min wage or worse all to work in cramped spaces in extreme heat and cold. Seriously, layoffs are not the issue, retaining people is their big problem.


Verizon Loyalty Program - Now that's an Oxymoron

You have already branded yourself Verizon - sleazy, money grubbing sociopaths. This is regarding every person involved in firing people who did deserve it. Just following orders is NOT an excuse. Find another job instead of enabling grifters.


Mike L

Mike is a gentleman but too much damage done by Frank. He can’t fix.

Takis is a horrible choice, he was groomed by Gibbons and didn’t have a role for a year after hiring Fiserv. Yes, Gibbons!

The Takis and Dhivya show will take FISV to $20/share. The chick Kent differentiate between workflows , automation and AI.

This company was at the top because of how prior CEOs before Frank respected their workforce, a reboot is needed.


Dell managers a just policy holders and slide jockeys

At this point if you are a manager in Dell at any level they have totally castrated you. Managers are HR policy holders, responsible for budgets and slide jockeys. Most of our management team is no longer technical and the people that are left kiss a$$ and say “yes” to pretty much anything.

Some love it, most hate it and want to get out. The scrum at scale debacle was finally scrapped but my favorite is that absolutely nobody was held accountable. This was a big driver of these changes.

Next AI as an excuse to just lay off more people and our managers will have to do it.

Dell stock is soaring for now but layoffs are on the way. Which will include a significant number of managers. This company has gone to he-l and the people in charge are destroying it but are too greedy and selfish to care.


You know a company is awful when....

You know a company is awful when the employees get excited for layoffs. But you have to ask yourself, why do these employees feel like a layoff will save them? Payouts are chump change. A 3 year employee gets 6 weeks pay. Is this changing your life? Please don't hate the messenger... I suggest that if you are unhappy, then take matters into your own hands and apply elsewhere on your days off. VZW forces you to walk the line of happiness and integrity, all while making you jump through hoops. Use this job as a stepping stone. They don't pay you enough for this emotional abuse. The dirty little secret is that you won't find financial independence and be able to build the life you want working here. I can guarantee that this job has no future and zero career path. The sooner you accept this the happier you will be. Managers & Asst managers sit in back rooms secretly talking about their disdain for their entitled employees or arrogant district managers, all while hating life and wishing they hadn't invested so much time and life energy being stuck where they are. District managers find ways to either cheat the system or don't even know the systems and live the "do as I say and not as I do" fake lifestyle. This is not a solution to life's happiness. The leaders that do make good money blow smoke up your butt so dont be fooled by their happiness because its coming from the green you will never see. All jobs teach you something, and this job teaches you that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. You just have to listen to your inner voice that has been telling you that you should move on. Don't be afraid. You deserve better... or if you stay, you probably haven't learned your lesson just yet. You will learn this lesson at some point. You are in an abusive relationship, and you deserve better. Be brave and don't wait for your "partner" to break up with you. Verizon hasn't and won't change. You are settling. You are being used. This job is set up to use you short term and then replace you. That is all fine and good in its own right but you have to play the game. You won't find any life long employees. Don't allow the fake kindness and occasional smile limit what you deserve. Take what you can from Verizon in the form of educational assistance or the limited financial gain it presents till you can make that next move to something that offers long-term happiness and can lead you to a better life. It's out here. I promise. ❤️ To all the haters of this message - I lived each step of this message and I won. I have receipts.


Lack of support

I was a Team Lead over the years. My biggest difficulty was non-support from my manager, directors, and VPs. We were stuck using tools that didn't work, and there was no funding to fix them or get better ones. Processes were stupidly designed, and nobody wanted to improve them. Great ideas are all shot down. Even cheap ideas are shot down. But we can cut thousands of jobs, fund a Mclaren race team, get g2 a $200k watch, etc.

This company is absolutely f&cked

Senior management have absolutely no idea how to run a tech company.
They repeatedly try the only playbook they have, which is to cut costs by laying people off whilst paying consultants millions to do their jobs, which seems to be simply latching on to the latest hot topic and hoping that fixes everything.
Here's an idea, why not try actually investing in the businesses you own rather than trying to bleed them dry.
Anyone else notice the number of good senior people jumping ship recently?
How's future forward working for you Stephanie?


Biggest Mistake

Personally, Cameron bringing in McKinsey will be his legacy and what he will be remembered for.

Someone got into his ear and he took some bad decisions.

Things feel different. Way more now since the WP closure.

Something feels very odd with WP folks. The upper management level seems fake and really trying to cover up something.

It’s just bad times right now.

Maybe someone with ba--s that reads this site can walk into Cameron’s office and bring him to reality of how things are. Well, I can at least pray!


Horrible, horrible environment

I've worked some bad jobs before but nothing even comes close to what this place has done to me. The leadership is awful, the managers are worse, and I genuinely don't recognize myself anymore after dealing with it all. It's taken such a toll on my head and my confidence that I'm not sure how much longer I can keep showing up like nothing's wrong.


Enough with the nonesense from certain people.

Enough with the nonesense from certain people.
No one wants to hear it anymore, no one wants to participate in it, no one likes you, no one likes your constant negativity, no one likes your entitelment, no one likes your doom and gloom, we are tired of your nonsense.

So Just Stop. Your continued efforts to stoke bitterness, lower morale and cause drama are no longer acceptable.


Can't do the basics right

Company and management expects excellence but the company can't even pay you correctly or resolve a pay issue within a 6 month time span. And then they tell you you're the problem for trying to solve your own problem since no one will actually help you resolve issues.

The most difficult part about working for this company is dealing with the company itself.


It’s hard to trust anyone

I don’t know when work turned into everyone trying to prove they’re the last one who should be cut, but that’s what it feels like now. People chase approval, grab credit, and act friendly until there’s a chance to make someone else look bad. It’s draining.

The worst part is that this isn't accidental. When leadership rewards this kind of behavior, people learn fast. I'm relatively new in my career but if this is how it's always going to be, well fu-k.


Very bad layoff packages and requirements

Since Andrew left, and he only led for approximately 4.5 years or so, the treatment of employees has gone down to the gutter. The only period in which employees were treated fairly was during his tenure. Look up the history of UHG leadership and you will see what I’m saying. I was recently laid off after working here for 15 years. They not only offered me 5 weeks of pay, they put very “questionable language” in my layoff package.
Accepting their layoff package is accepting more abuse on the way out.
• If they get sued you should be on their side.
• If you were mistreated and (I’m watering this part down) or if you saw someone being mistreated, by accepting their severance you are saying it never happened.
• If you catch wind of them potentially being sued, you should warn them
• Also they added that you should not expect any payment for any of this! hahahahaha!!!!!!
• And if they call you for help with work after you’ve left, you have 48 hours to get back to them and help. This is teetering on… “fill in the blanks”…. and not even enforceable!
Who do their lawyers think they are? Very thuggish! I asked others that were laid off with me and they had similar language. And one that worked for 3 years only got 2 weeks worth of a paycheck.
This is all provable and true! To those of you still there, this is how they treat you after years of service, that’s if they don’t put you on a CAP or PIP to manage you out like someone said in a post on the UHG link here. They did this recently to my friend who worked in UHC for 25 years!
