Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

RIFs coming because of the outage

Still a lot of moving parts being sorted out and investigations going on but it appears there will be a significant headcount reduction as a result…

One thing has become clear during the preliminary review…

Engineers missed several early alerts because they were trying to purchase their tickets for Rich Vos’ May 16 performance at Uncle Vinnie’s Comedy Club, Point Pleasant Beach NJ

Someone definitely needs to be held to account for what happened Friday and at a senior level.

At least you put some effort into this Spam post.

Not sure if the twelve people who work at the local office are worth the effort to make the post.

You mean there are real engineers who do real thinking here anywhere? I have not found it.

So all the problems come from New Jersey and New York?

The buck stops at the top. If there is a void of knowledge and expertise, it's the unequivocal fault of leadership for building a negative culture and constructing an anti-recruitment center of excellence. When you pull the drain plug, how can you install it again? When you lost all the tribal knowledge and the new people don't know how to fix a complex issue, who's fault is that? Frank knew how to create revenue by pulling the layoff lever, which in the end creates a fear-based culture and left to run, leads to destructive consequences in a technical organization.

But it's ok, just layoff more people so you can create more future tech debt issues that cannot be solved and you cannot hire people because you have anti-work/life balances policies that no decent candidate will accept.
