It's like they don't care how bad things are. As long as they are getting paid, everything is perfectly fine in their world.

@k8 Good for you, Mr. Empowerment. What makes you think we aren't b!tching AND empowering ourselves? Some of us can multitask. Meanwhile, you're so busy being a 'person of action' that you wrote a whole paragraph on an anonymous b!tching site. Smug a$$ energy.
@b8 yea its bad
@fq Here come the mighty bi--hing police. Comparing working at Fiserv to an unhappy marriage is wild. You must be one of those contributing to the toxic environment here. No ba--s to speak up because you're getting your big paycheck, who cares if other people get sc--wed over. Don't worry, leadership has a spot waiting for you on the Management Committee. Zero output required. Bad bosses across tech are getting away with this because of dipsh-ts like you. It's called quiet firing: make work so toxic that people leave on their own, then call it 'attrition.' It only works when people shrug and say 'at least the paycheck cleared.' Congrats, you're the free labor in their cost-cutting plan.
I hate the me that as$hole, but your morale booster should be that consistent paycheck you get. The paycheck that enables you to support yourself and your family. If you can do without it, leave and pursue something that make you happy. If you can't leave right now, accomplish meaningful things for your team, get it on the resume and jump ship when the right time and opportunity arises. It really is that simple.
When it sinks in for the higher ups that good people are leaving and they can't recruit quality people bc no exceptional people want to work here, they'll be forced to up the pay and improve the company culture-- over time.
Think of this like being in an unhappy marriage. At some point you either leave or stay and STFU because nobody wants to here the constant b!tching.
Yes, by laying more off and taking away employee incentives
They literally gave me a few shares of stock for my raise…
Yes, I heard they are giving out bonuses ... to themselves ;)
They don’t care. There’s zero leadership and people are forced to take on more and more as others leave. No hires in their place. And they don’t want to hear how truly awful things are because they aren’t doing the employee survey. They know they will get raked over the coals. The apathy is so weird and I have to think some major announcement is coming about the org’s future though I have no idea what.
No this MC and the last of 5 years is only in it for themselves. Some are nearing 70 years old and still around ... doing zippo, but refuse to leave. Takis won't last. The board needs to address the non performing MC and get rid of them or Jana will.
I’ve never worked anywhere that actively wants me to quit so badly, I feel like it’s the early 2000s and Ashton Kutcher is going to pop out and tell me I’m punk’d.
@an 😂 needed that laugh today. Thank you for sharing.

There's no point in caring or complaining anymore. Move on for your own mental health sake.
@af lmao.. exactly.. Retention is going great. Every month we retain fewer people, so the problem is basically solving itself.
Lol no man, did you just start here?
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
It’s been like this for the past 4 years…the toxicity will not change anytime soon.
How can anyone work properly when every month there are layoffs or rumored layoffs?
We need a massive overhaul of c-suite and senior leaders with their antiquated way of thinking.
We also need to a sweep of all products, start consolidating and also start sunsetting redundant products
@OP They want you to leave on your own so they don't have to give severance. (and its the bare minimum given)
It's been echoed here before, but the next round is going to be biblical, lol. So be ready folks.
Buddy, it's gonna get worse AFTER Q 3 financials are out. The next round of layoffs will be far worse.
I also don't think Takis give a rats a-s about morale. He's just a rebadged FB. I hope for the company's sake that he's gone in spring 2027.
Improving retention would go against what they are trying to do.
They were promising me a rise since a year. Now I should wait until our shares price will triple according to my manager to get back to this conversation. So yes, I feel fully motivated.
I would not bet on it.
