Considering that channels is no more special than cards, I would not anticipate that it will remain untouched by Frank's RTO diktats.
I mean, come on. How many times have people been hopeful, then disappointed by the reality of actual decisions at Fiserv VERSUS being people being pessimistic, then being pleasantly surprised at the new policy?
I actually can't think of a single time where the worst rumors didn't come true in some fashion eventually. I can't think of a time in the past two-three years that IC's have thought "gosh, I really like this new policy so much that it gives me #oneFiserv warm fuzzies!"
Put on your thinking caps, folks. Do you really think the people in channels will be the golden children of fiserv and get to work from home permanently, while everyone else gets caught up in the drudgery?
