In the middle of a Labor Shortage, when competition is fierce, and you’ve already lost a ton of business knowledge is the single d-mbest thing any CEO of any company could say in 2023. I don’t care how smart the shills say he is (he’s not) or how well the stock price does the foundation of the company is rotten, even the best stock performance isn’t sustainable using all the tricks the bozo uses if you have no knowledge to support it. Absolutely laughable.

This has happened before. Infamous at IBM some years back. CEO John Akers was not getting sales in 1992 and held a employee meeting during which he complained that the sales people (who were all working very hard) were doing nothing but standing around the water cooler and that nobody got that message. One eager beaver new employee took that at face value and sent that around to all of his colleagues, and they sent it to their colleagues. This was the infamous water cooler memo and it became a sign of status depending how many copies of it you received. The field sales staff then had to spent 1 day filing out complicated forms for reasons in the field and not around the water cooler and thus 5 days in the field became 4 days. I know because I was one of them.
Stop saying Fiserv is going to use AI... they can't even install a simple program on your computer without completely screwing it up
Finally the mask comes off.
The country IS or can be designed to support work from, does today in many parts of the economy, and will continue to evolve as AI does. In many cases the worker will be eliminated in favor of the machine. Something Fiserv is running with. Your comment is as ignorant and out of touch as FB is.
@1gko+1nO4yO6Z funny how capitalism is the best system in the world and should be allowed to work; is the go to answer, except when it's not in your favor.
The last I checked, the rules of capitalism stated that businesses that couldn't provide the best goods and services to the customers liking went out of business. And it was intended to work that way make sure new businesses could replace those that failed.
So all of the underskilled under-payed fast food joints that are hubbed around business centers should shrink or dissappear. They'll be replaced by local places spread out to meet the new demand.
Capitalism isn't meant to favor the business over the employee, or the consumer, they're all meant to balance each other out. Quit whining about trying to put your thumb on the scale for the poor wealthy capitalists business owners. I'm sure they'll be just fine in the end, and I'm sure the people that only have them as an option right now will ultimately be better off with what replaces them in the end.
@1gko+1nO4yO6Z, you know you can still support your local merchants while working from home. In fact, you're now closer to them and can patronize them even more frequently! You can only support local merchants on the way to/from work? Such a BS excuse you keep hanging your hat on.
Hey @1gko+1nO4yO6Z, where are all the scriveners now? How about all the lamplighters? What about the home coal delivery people? Who are you to say "how our country is designed to work"? Times change, business models change. This country clearly demonstrated that we can effectively work from home, and in fact be more productive when doing so. When electricity found its way into everyday life, did we say, "No, we need to go back to using gas lamps and save the lamplighters!". NO! We change, we adapt. For those that can't see that are stuck in the past, and are blind to the future.
Our country isn't designed to "work from home". Stop being selfish and support your local merchants on the way to and from the office. That's what makes our world go around folks.
When did Frank call employees spoiled?
So quit. Just do it.
Smart? Frank is a lot of things, arrogant, pompous, greedy, self-absorbed but definitely NOT smart.
