The Fiserv advantage was we had experts from all over the world at our fingertips. FB's logic is he wants them in the office in NJ. NJ has over 111 superfund sites, which is the most of any state. Superfund are toxic waste sites. People who live near these sites tend to get sick. The site locations are not always public.

Not much to be less competitive with when it wasn't even competitive to begin with
Actually I like working at Fiserv. We do have our problems though. All companies have problems though. Others may not have the same view I hVe.
Fiserv allowed remote for MANY years before the FD merge fiasco, like FOREVER.
You are making it sound as if Fiserv was great when remote was an option (after First Data merger). Removing remote may have made it worse but that is not the primary issue
So, does this number increase to over 112 with addition of BH location? Just some food for thought!
It was never competitive in the first place. The only reason it still exists is through M&A.
It's sort of incredible when we consider that Fiserv had supported remote work for years prior to the pandemic. Then, after the pandemic had largely normalized remote work for many sane companies, Fiserv did a 180 and pulled workers who had been working remotely for 10 or more years into a physical office. FB and team took the opposite lesson from the pandemic's WFH experiment than what an objective observer might have expected.
Don't drink the water!!!!
No wonder NJ was such a deal.
