Yep, 'Consensus Through Coersion'.
"For all of you who support the vaccine and the mandate, please be kind to others because people have deep and severely held beliefs regarding this not to mention you have NO IDEA what medical conditions a person may have nor the current medical battles they are fighting."

"What a misinformed and ignorant take! My guess is that the OP is also a member of the flat earth society. Just pitiful..."
Hurrr Durrr, you disagree with your government, what are you a cOnSpIrAcY tHeOrIsT?!?!?! Heres a crazy strawman conspiracy I reference so I can avoid critical thought, anyone who disagrees with me must be a crazy flat earther!
Anyone that disagrees with corporations or government is CRAZY! What do you mean Kim Jong-un isn't GOD? North Korea fact checked that and says he is GOD, trust the science and stop spreading ignorant misinformation!
Stupid braindead NPC
I demanded a higher salary before agreeing to get the vaccine.. if you have any leverage at all in your role at Fiserv, I suggest everyone does the same.

(from my manager)
In order to make the deadline you must have your first shot no later than these dates:
Pfizer: 11/3
Moderna: 10/27
J&J: 11/24
Sounds like that means they can start the exit process November 25th?

The announcement is coming Monday 10/25.
This is exactly why I faked my card on Dumwick. Ive been back for a couple of weeks now and nobody has said anything
Please get vaccinated we want to save lives.
"Was anything put out in writing about the vaccines? I haven't heard anything about this, and didn't see anything on Fuel. Could this perhaps just be for employees who returned to office? Or does this apply to remote employees as well?"
Well, think about it. Were the 2020 RIF's published on FUEL? Were the most recent RIF's published on FUEL? The relocation or gtfo ultimatums?
I would imagine something will be published in the style of corporate speech loaded with buzzwords pretty soon. Something about employee safety, etc.
Also, I was told directly that it applies to current employees working from home as well. All employees of FISV, period. They are following the Federal mandate from the dead-eyed hair-sniffer with dementia.

Go work somewhere else. There is a business to run and it has no feelings as it shouldn’t. I need the stock price to go up. Bye Bye Cry Babies!
Have any other insider information? I haven't heard anything other than "relocate or gtfo" and no timelines on when to relocate or when to gtfo
25% huh? No doubt I will get some downvotes but it's about time Frank weeds out the sleepers and makes Fiserv lean-and-mean like it's supposed to be.
They mentioned you would get paid time off for the vaccine and reaction as well as reimbursement if you have to pay a co-pay
Frank, being the greasy sl------l he is, saw an opportunity too sweet to pass up: eliminating 25% of the workforce with virtually no effort.
On a call today, they mentioned that about 25% of FISV employees have not taken the vaccines and that they actually don't expect many more of the holdouts to take the vaccine. So this could end up being an additional 20%-25% RIF on top of the lost headcount to date.
Also, confirmed no severance will be offered to the vaccine hold outs. Separation paperwork begins on Dec 8th. And you have to have completed the vaccine series two weeks before the 8th so the vaccine effectiveness can "settle in". Meaning you have to have completed the series (both shots) by Nov 24th. Happy Thanksgiving!
That means you have to begin the series of shots by Nov 10th, or a little over two weeks from now.
We were told to prepare for 'operational difficulty' and 'to be flexible', but that this is an opportunity to step up and replace those who are being canned.
I have to tell you at this point, people have been shell-shocked into numbness. We had already lost a sizable portion of our team due to the last RIF/RELO, and now gallows humor has taken hold.
I don't care if they mandate vaccines. I just don't want to go into the office when literally everything can be done remotely.
@fvb+1drXwwbJ - Probably not. I daresay they'll probably fire you for some made-up reason on top of that so they can avoid getting sued if anything bad happens to you because of it.
Confirmed as well.
Serious question: will they give time of to take this and for any reactions you may have e.g. lethargy?
Seriously, so glad I left.
I work remote for a company with a brain. One that doesn't want to eat liability lawsuits from adverse reactions. One that isn't in the Branch Covidian cult.
Good luck with that premature death from strokes or myocardial infarctions in a decade or so, folks.
By then the TV will be brimming with commercials blaring "Have you or a loved one taken the COVID-19 vaccines due to employer mandates, and suffered from the vaccine as a result? Call the law offices of..."
I don’t work with Federal/Government contracts and am 100% remote with no office near by. Just another way to RIF employees so Frank can help his year end numbers look better.

I have deeply held and sincerely held religious beliefs plus medical reasons as to why I dont want this vax at this time. Does any really believe they will honor any religious believes exemptions? I dont.
Confirmed. Medical, sincere religious belief exemptions in place.
For all of you who support the vaccine and the mandate, please be kind to others because people have deep and severely held beliefs regarding this not to mention you have NO IDEA what medical conditions a person may have nor the current medical battles they are fighting.
Confirmed as well: term of employment, no severance, OSHA supersedes state bans.
and no severance if you don't comply by 12/8
Confirmed
