If that is true, what a heartkess company. People should be reminded that this could b be them one day.
I remember a co worker in First Data that was laid off shortly after she was diagnosed with cancer. The company told her it was performance related. Cancer treatments are expensive.
Fiserv is self-insured. Health care costs for employees are health care costs for Fiserv.
Save even more money by removing the sickly ones.
Healthcare is most certainly a factor. Employees who have incurred a lot of healthcare expenses on the company dime are vulnerable to a layoff. One year, an employee incurred one million dollars in healthcare expenses due to giving birth to a baby who had a lot of health issues that could have been avoided if the employee had sought prenatal care. HR was up in arms. I remember one employee being laid off because she had too many children.
As wrong headed as this situation is and as illogical as the strategy is, I don't buy in that any of the healthcare components are factored in...less from perspective that I trust FB and co to be mindful of ethics, but that the reality of adding in that layer of info would be difficult and complex...neither characteristic applies to decision making here. FB hates remote...you must be trackable with badge reports or visibly in ant farm working, he's been crystal clear on this point. It's not a meritocracy, it's a badge report-acracy...if you only show the minimum of 3x/wk (or less if you were OOO), you will show in red and should consider yourself at risk for not obeying. 3x/wk is a minimum..."do you really only want to put in the minimum?" (OfficeSpace quote)
I am hoping this was a typo or are people expected to be in the office 8 days a week [a reference to a Beatles song for those who may not be picking up on my humour]. And, what if persons RTO orders have just started and were originally 3x a week?

@1urx+1iW5VQJi - you said not at risk are
“Employees that are not located at Berkeley Hights, Alpharetta, Omaha, Coral Springs”
I noticed you didn’t mention Brookfield. Are you saying Brookfield will be the next place to be phased out?
1tbx+1iW5VQJi - Unfortunately Fiserv does discriminate even though they boast about supporting individuals with disabilities (which is BS on fiserv side). Not sure how "Darling with a Z" will spin this cause we obviously have see how many corporate cheerleaders try to bury the truth.
I question if the OP isn’t a mole trying to find out what was leaked and by whom.
No disrespect to 1urx+1iW5VQJi, how do you this? Aren't some of those items like medical claims protected by HIPA? Also, why if you have had a leave? People have legitimate reasons for both i.e. cancer treatments, heart attacks, strokes, maternity, etc. That seems very discriminatory and just down right wrong.
Who is at greatest risk?
- Original Fiserv employees
- Remote employees
- Employees that are not located at Berkeley Hights, Alpharetta, Omaha, Coral Springs
- Over the age of 50
- High number of medical insurance claims
- Have taken short/long term medical leave
- Not being onsite atleast 5 days a week over the last 6 months
BU is Business Unit and people want to know because times are hard and some of us need our job… don’t be so insensitive :(
Business Unit.

Are you the janitor or something? Put your head back in the sand.
