It’s not that I mind working in the office. It’s the ridiculous list of reasons we’ve been given for having to do so: clients want us back in our offices (they really don’t care) and collaboration (we aren’t co-located anyway so we’re already doing this via Teams).
The truth is we are a tech company being run like a bank. Even worse is we somehow received an award for being “most innovative” when we are barely staffed to keep the lights on. Not sure who paid whom for that distinction but well done.
Being told to RTO 4 days, 8 hours per day, will likely drive away those who were barely hanging on. That’s the REAL reason for the RTO - Fiserv won’t have to pay severance to anyone who resigns. This is just their latest attempt to further reduce our workforce. This company is being gutted and I assure you our customers notice.
