Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

Get out while the getting is good!

Y'all -

I was laid off in September and Fiserv gave me a severance package. Not great, but a bone, nonetheless.

Here's my advice to y'all: get out while the getting is good. If there's been anything good about the pandemic, is that it's opened up the floodgates for remote opportunities. Fiserv still has a relatively good perception to outsiders; they have no idea how fast Frank and Guy are sending the Titanic to the bottom of the sea.

If you're afraid to jump, let me share a couple things: 1) I'm on the South side of my sixties and plan on working - God willing - for another ten years. (2) I've had ten years of tenure with Fiserv and, for the most part, have enjoyed my time here. Mostly because of my coworkers - management is another story. 3) You don't realize how valuable your Fiserv tenure and the skills you bring to the table are worth in the real world. I was effectively able to get a 65% bump in comp with better (and more) benefits including unlimited PTO. You others in Accounting, Sales, Customer Service and IT are worth a HELLUVA lot more! There are so MANY other companies out there begging for qualified applicants.

You can spend all the time you want bashing Frank and the decline of the company on this forum. Lord knows, I have. When you put your anxiety into motivation to see what life looks like outside of Fiserv and see what your skills are really worth, you'll be much happier - especially when you get a new job offer. I promise.

Yes, Frank and his NJ Mafia suck a-s. What he's doing to the company and all the great people who've worked (or still continue to) there is sh---y.

Get off this site and get your as--s in gear. I promise, the view outside of Fiserv is a LOT better than sticking around that cheap, toxic dump.

Cheers and best of luck! Miss y'all, but it's on to greener pastures.

Excellent post sir. And wise advice. Fiserv pay, before FB, was always sub-standard. when I departed through a move north in 2019, a head-hunter opening laughed out loud when I told her my true hourly rate. Could not believe it. So there are better jobs, better pay and a better life out there. Find it. (BTW we moved back to GA after the 2019 move and THAT was a good decision too). Layoff? Do it yourself.

Some people have forgotten how good it feels to get out a bad job. It can feel like Andy Dufresne crawling out the end of the sewer pipe.
