If I had left earlier, I would not have become extremely disappointed and burned out. I wouldn’t go away with a bitter feeling about this company.
I think most of those who feel stuck here now, are in that situation precisely because they didn’t believe Fiserv would become what it is today?
At one point it became clear to me that things were going to go downhill, but I refused to believe it because it used to be really nice to work here.

I was a fortunate RIF. We came back in for a token week, even after we were notified of layoff (told to do so or 'fired for cause'/lose our severance). Hollister must have found a heart (since he has no brain) and let us WFH until end of year. In that one week, it looked like a scene out of 1984, no soul, no passion. I've heard what it is like now and its even worse. Don't wait to get out, Frank is going to carve up and sell off unless he's removed. I just hope KKR stays away from good companies.
@OP+1gPxrnIL, you must not have much experience with culture changes at companies or moving from one company to another. There were glaring signs from the beginning that this so called merger was going to be bad for OFS folks. If one has been through something like this before with other companies, the signs are much easier to see and the sense of urgency to leave becomes overwhelming. Unfortunately, we live in a corporate culture that does not reward longevity and tenure. It is time to move on. There are opportunities out there. The time is now to move on before the opportunities that exist today are gone tomorrow.
