He never did that at Fiserv. Did ML even go around to different Fiserv sites to engage with employees? Why was he given the CEO job again, it's very obvious he wanted to run a bank instead judging by his LinkedIn activity. Horrible decision to make him CEO.

Are you seriously still asking why Mike, a complete outsider, was hired to be CEO? He was given the job because FB and TG are friends from JP Morgan. No way in he-l was FB going to let his protège take the fall for the sh-t he did to drive up the stock price. So even tho Takis was hired months before Mike and was on the MC with no direct responsibilities, they needed time and a scapegoat to take the fall. In comes Mkie. This couldn't be more obvious. So if you're seriously still questioning why they brought in Mike especially now that he's happier leading a less fu---d up company, the issue is your inability to put the obvious pieces together. Don't blame Mike for getting the he-l out of this fu---d up company. Instead, do the same.
@hv the current MCs are all a JOKE! How many do we need? Slimy and old school. Wake-up times have changed.
ML was and is a JOKE. He was not the right person for job. He's a vanilla banker with no track record of transforming any business. He also hired that disaster Divya Whatever. When that was annoucned, we knew we were doomed. She was a talking sheep.
@d0 FB came to Coral to tell us during a town hall that hybrid was ending.
It was so nice of him to tell us to fu-k ourselves in person than some impersonal mass email.
He knew that things at Fiserv were coming to an end, so he made the decision to leave quickly. He’s very smart and read the room quickly.
Maybe the glass offices are the only parts of the building that get AC?
@dz Ha, probably a little high, but not crazy. How many rounds do you make to check on your team? Most managers I know only do rounds when there's a fire drill. They live in glass rooms, so they can see us fine. We just can't hear a word they say.
@d0 They’ve all made the rounds. My point was that they don’t come to engage with us. They stop to check the box. Talk at us. Maybe my expectations are too high.
For the record ML did visit the Marietta, GA office this year. He held a town hall meeting there that was organized on Friday afternoon amd held on Monday morning. ML was in town to visit the Home Depot account which is close to the Maritta, GA office. FB also made a visit to Marietta, GA some time after the COVID restrictions were phases out
@OP No CEO has come to my site to ENGAGE with employees since JeffY. The 3 FD-CEO’s come and either have a ridiculous ‘fireside chat’ and don’t even look at us, or they come and spew Fiserv propaganda at us. We are nothing to them. Only the MC will save this company, in their opinion.
@bn 👋 all-caps bn What would you have done differently when the MCs at Fiserv are so resistant to improving their team? He cut a lot of fat and hired some people who were all noise and no action, but he inherited a real mess and a chain of FB loyalists to work through. He made some good calls and some bad ones, which is normal, and he was open to suggestions and advice, unlike now, when people are too scared to speak up for fear of losing their jobs. Really healthy working culture. Also, Truist is doing record hiring while Fiserv is doing record firing. Go figure.
He visited my facility. But empty promises as always.
@a2 Because I am sure the OP is connected to him on LinkedIN and when you are, it is clearly obnoxious to see ML posts. Did Divya run a bank? Hopefully ML will her and both can tank Truist together. Both were TERRIBLE! But, Fiserv is far from being in a better position - nothing has changed and it won't.
Sounds like someone’s still bitter that the all hands invite got lost in the mail. Did you have a speech ready? Because honestly, except for the big payout and Dhivya's hire, I thought he was pretty ok."
@OP
Why are you even worrying about that looser of a ceo?????? He was an elitist oligarch.
He's old news.
Why are you tracking his schedule?
Why do you even know what he's doing?
Are you a bot?
