Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

Thousands of unhappy campers...

Assuming what has been posted thus far about the vaccine mandate is accurate (25% of the workforce yet to be vaccinated and facing termination with no severance), Fiserv is about to create about 10K-11K disgruntled employees.

Statistically, out of those ~10K people that are now in a super sour mood, a small number of them are gonna shift into geronimo gonzo vindictive payback mode.

Think about the source code, client lists, confidential info, etc. I don't advocate for any unethical behavior, but my gut tells me this is gonna be nuts.

Like the guy in Jurassic Park said, "Hold on to your butts".

@5vbe+1dsZ2Q73 - Oh wow I cant believe we have a scientist commenting. lol. Everything they have told us about the vaccine so far has been proven to be BS. Seriously... my fave? Breakthrough infections for vaccinated people are RARE. Someone needs to tell Colin Powell's family that. I for one have had covid and I am fully vaccinated. I also was almost hospitalized and I have no other health conditions.

It reduces the time you are contagious from fourteen days to three days. You will have fewer contact is three days then you would in fourteen, so it reduces the number of people you could potentially spread it to if you were to be contagious.

The real mrns are those who believe having the vaccine prevents you from spreading COVID. The only benefit for being vaccinated is lessened symptoms should you get COVID, it only protects yourself, not anyone else.. It DOES NOT prevent you from spreading it or contracting it. Id--ts.

Good thoughts.
Vacc Proof Mandate - HIPPA was created to regulate insurance and health care providers. Corporations are not included in HIPPA so they, technically, can get away with it for now. Until new laws are implemented, if ever.

Wellness programs - If a program is run through your company’s health insurance plan, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) privacy rules apply. However, many insurances use outside 3rd party vendors where security is or can be, questionable.

The logic of requiring remote employees to get vaccinated by Dec 8. They will hold back severance discussion until after Dec 8, they have nothing to lose. They want you to leave anyway.

If you do not show vaccination by Dec 8, they get rid of you without a severance discussion. No money out of their pocket at all.

On the other hand, if you show vaccination, they may have discussions and get rid of you by end of the year. Need to show a bottom line profit to shareholders. As you all know, getting rid of employees is the easiest way to do it.

Mocking people that care about freedom and implying that is low IQ...

Someone should screenshot that for future use in a history book when later generations ask "were people really that compliant and stupid?"

@1bjy+1dsZ2Q73 you are a du----s. Only companies that rely on government contracts are forced to mandate the vaccine, and lots of company owners in my area are just passing on the goverment contracts. Also, the mandate isn't being forced in several fortune 500 companies. This is just a power grab from Frank and a way to make people leave the company without severance.

"Stop pretending like Fiserv is the only company in the world asking people to get vaccinated. Your next company is going to force you to as well."

Nobody is pretending like anything. Why are there so many bad faith straw men statements spewing out of these forums?

OP,Your math is incorrect. 44,000 Associates globally. US probably like 25,000. 25% haven’t as of yet uploaded a vaccine card and another large percentage will finally get vaccinated (especially as they realize most companies have federal contracts and the spouse weighs in) leaving about 1,000 hard core anti-vaxxers.

Why are we mentioning remote employees? They don’t have those at first data… they will /have been forcing them out or asking them to relocate. All those who were with Fiserv before First Data took over is in for a rude awakening. FD doesn’t believe in remote. They want to clock you in and out. They are already tracking it.

Get vaccinated or good riddance. The company IQ will go up for every “muh freedum” mo--n that gets terminated. What a bunch of whiney selfish crybabies.

@vsw+1dsZ2Q73 Can confirm that remote employees are included in the mandate. Was told directly by a VP.

100% remote employees are also included in the vaccine mandate. You are trying to apply logic where there is none.

I feel like the vaccine mandate will only apply to those who report to offices or travel to client sites. Anyone who is 100% remote likely won't be impacted, but their days are numbered anyway to the forced relocation initiative.

@lau+1dsZ2Q73 okay troll. Vaccine mandate is bull sh-t, and an infringement on our freedom's in this country. I'm vaccinated, but i believe in the freedoms to make my own choice. This is government overreach at it's finest and I don't know why anyone would support it. Why would you give a sh-t if someone wasn't vaccinated you troll, especially if you are? I was told that having the vaccine would make it so I'm not going to get as ill and i don't need a mask? That was a lie, I've been exposed to COVID multiple times this year and had COVID in 2020.

It is a personal health choice. It is none of the companies dam business if i am, and I told HR to pi-s off when they asked me if i'd been vaccinated. If this company forces people to have the vaccine. Are you really willing to give up your rights, and be Frank's bi--h (slave) to control you on a whim ? Why would you do that? Start looking for a new and better job that respects your privacy.

Vaccine mandate is the best thing Frank has done. No one wants conspiracy theory believing mo--ns in the office, spreading disease. Get vaccinated or hit the bricks.

An adjustment is needed as we should be talking about US employees only. Fiserv does not have 40K + employees.
