Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

JGibbons & RCrowley

@eg That is for training AI supposedly with people who don't need to be honest or care. Likely from mo--nic C people who think they are visionary while making the company experience brian rot. It is not the same as basic professionalism. You can be a decent coworker without caring about the corporate stupidity.

@b7 No don't be incompetent like many untrained people at Fiserv. Minimal documentation can be very helpful and can be good karma regardless of what we are dealt with to leave others better than the sh-t people hand you.

It doesn't mean build a labyrinth of confluence garbage. It is just basic professionalism to not hoarde your tribal bullsh-t and tell stories by the fire that get lost.

But the knowledge transfer exercises we all did were designed to prevent tribal knowledge. The knowledge transfer is so you can be easily replaced.

@bg I mean, not the "sole" reason. Another reason is now running social security 🤦

7/2/25 is the release date for the new Jurassic movie. Maybe he will go out with the dinosaurs then

Gibbons has made sure all knowledge is gone!! He is THE reason.... the sole reason plus his HR misguided and other cronies.... we are banking our future on a DINOSAUR! When will he be G-O-N-E???!!! Ship him back to the hole he came out of!! Let him destroy something else.

@as By documenting, you mean have everyone build an impenetrable labyrinth of Confluence and Sharepoint sites that stakeholders know nothing about? Because that’s just as “lost”as when the person that wrote it goes out the door.

But, hey, look on the bright side. Management will probably inexplicably demand whatever process is described to be changed, so that info is bound to become irrelevant in short order.

Tribal is not good for engineering. Who needs to document the important things or use common standards amirite?

@an i understand your confusion... Indian Tribal and US Institutional.

@an wrap your lips around the left one and make the right one jealous

Those tribal knowledge and institutional knowledge are interchangeable. Open a f’n dictionary.

Let's get the terminology correct for starters. It's INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE that has been lost. We are paying for it now.
