Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

Look out for yourself! The top execs look out for themselves.

Don’t agree about the h1b. Everytime an American gets layed off they are replaced by a foreign worker.

@bf Well said. Someone finally had the ba--s to say this. Every layoff, H-1B workers get blamed like they personally walked into the boardroom and approved the restructuring. Spoiler: they were too busy fixing the bug that the layoff just made worse. If there's fraud But pointing at a whole group of people who didn't write the staffing plan is like blaming the passengers for where the airline parked the plane. Want accountability? Aim at the folks who signed off on the contractor model, not the person who just wants to keep their job and their sanity. Go after the lobbyists, your senators, the White House, wherever the real power sits. Yelling at the guy in the next cubicle won't fix anything, except maybe your blood pressure.

i did it. took a good 4 months to land something new and it’s hard. well worth it now though. 20% more base, no worthless rsus and a place i actually enjoy going to. oh and 2 days a week remote.

@bf im a middle aged white male

But I totally agree with this

Its not the people's fault who are taking opportunities presented to better their and their families situation - to be honest I would too, and I don't think it's any different to the people on here openly commenting on doing just the bare minimum to get by as nothing will make a difference anyway

The blame like everything here lays with totally incompetent management

This place is totally gone there is no saving it. Everyone just looking out for their own pay packets or trying to use it as a stepping stone / riding it through til retirement.

Every time layoffs happen, H-1B workers become the convenient scapegoat. If fraud is occurring, provide evidence and investigate it. But claiming that H-1B employees are broadly dishonest or unqualified is both inaccurate and unproductive.

Many H-1B workers possess advanced degrees, critical technical skills, and years of experience. They did not create Fiserv's staffing strategy, contractor model, or layoff decisions. Leadership did.

Employees should demand transparency around outsourcing, contractor utilization, hiring practices, and workforce planning. That's where the accountability belongs. Blaming an entire category of workers does nothing to improve job security for anyone.

This is correct. This is how they view employees. As a resource to be used up and sp-t out, and replaced with somebody else. I would wish you luck with your search, but I need all of my luck for my own job search.

Can’t say I blame you

Yup - Agreed! How I was notified that my job was no more was very distasteful and unprofessional from the leadership team and HR. I’m no hater however; I wish the company well…whatever is left of it.

Feel the weight come off your shoulders now.

Are you in BH? Park yourself besides the Starbucks and chillax. Go for frequent walks in the lot while it's still warm out. Use this time to decompress and come up with a game plan for the next phase.
