Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

@1kgj+1eCDr3Bg

Some companies might but not our Frank. He likes to see all of his employees at Berkeley heights so that he can feel like a King

Our clients are brick and mortar? Do you people really know who our clients are? Or is that all OFD people with your “brick and mortar” cr-p? The real Fiserv has many products that are marketed as “pay your bills from anywhere”. “Bank from your phone”. Literally building and selling products that allow the FISERV clients to do their financial business form anywhere.

Say congress grants a tax exemption for business allowing employees to work from home to reduce green house gases leadership will pivot to embracing WFH..

Frank only listens to JPMC and carefully copies everything they do, but is careful to modify the policies first to make them slightly worse.

Cant take it too far. If that is the case nothing prevents many jobs from being exported overseas. Pay should be by where we are and only way of accomplishing this is in person work. Yes we should have flexibility

If you are doing your job and supporting the client no one should care where your cubicle assignment (or not) is located.

The brown nosing, corporate simps in some of these comments... You guys need to prioritize what's important in life. Go make some friends, hit the gym, find some hobbies. Your lives shouldn't revolve around commuting 3 hours everyday to work at a dead end job... yikes...

Isn't Adobe requiring the vaccine and a return to physical offices? Sounds like Scott will be looking for a new job soon. He won't be coming to Fiserv because we know we work best together.

Yes, if Jaime Dimon said 'remote work is the future', the Frank would say 'Thanks for the instructions, daddy! Remote work is the future!'

Get someone from JPMC to say it, then we will be able to work from home.

"Our clients are banks and credit unions who operate brick and mortar branches. Our clients want us to work as they work, pretty simple and pretty well aligned to what our customers tell us."

Gee, then why don't we dissolve all our remote development offices in India so we can "work as our clients work?"

ROTFLMAO.

Why would any client say "I want the people who support our operations to be unavailable for three hours a day as they commute back and forth from one internet connection to another! In fact, we demand it!"

I call bull-sheeeet.

The Business Insider article seems to suggest that, as time goes on, some very good talent may seek positions in companies offering WFH positions. Now, if that's the case, that would further suggest that companies unwilling to adapt may find the quality of their skill base less then that of a companies thinking otherwise.

Now, let's say I am a "brick and mortar" organization. Will my main concern be the quality/skill level of a service provider's workforce or the location from which they perform that work?

Don't get me wrong. The management of a company is free implement whatever decision they wish. I'm just curious as to why someone would think customers care where the employees of a service provider sit.

Think of this another way. If a customer experiences an incident, is the root cause ever "employee was working from home"?

Thoughts?

What is missing in this wfh debate is the fact that companies have different client bases. This issue should be aligned according to a companies purpose in support of the clients who pay the bills. Our clients are merchants who operate brick and mortar stores, coffee shops, grocers, etc… — and yes expanding e-commerce businesses. Our clients are banks and credit unions who operate brick and mortar branches. Our clients want us to work as they work, pretty simple and pretty well aligned to what our customers tell us.
