I used to be one of those people who always had a positive outlook and truly believed that if you worked hard, success would come your way. But that's just not the case at Fiserv anymore.
Here, it seems like no matter how hard you try and how much effort you put in, you're still stuck in the same place. It's frustrating, to say the least.
Years ago, I used to have high hopes for this place. I thought I could climb the ladder and achieve my career goals here. But the reality is that Fiserv just doesn't reward hard work like it used to. It's like the company has lost its way. Other things matter more, like familial relationships and high-school pals. Yes-men are also quick to progress. This is our sad reality.

I have no questions about franks performance.
I don’t like him. I don’t like his performance.
No questions.
How can you say the company has never performed as well as now? How long have you been here? Check out Fiserv and First Data growth pre-Frank. Learn some history.
Who has a better view?
The people working with our customers?
Or the people looking at spreadsheets?
The company has never performed as well as now --- why is it so hard for you to see the reality. You may not like frank but there is no question about performance.
Frank is a small minded business man who operates on negatives instead of positives or fining a balance. He came into a great situation when Fiserv bailed out FD (where he ran the same playbook), and instead of focusing on building on what was in place, his focus was cut cut cut to offset losses. Which continue to mount as more and more core clients get pi---d off and leave, or we "save" them offering transition to another fiserv core for free. It would be funny to watch if it wasn't so damn sad.
It is obvious that FB is completely disconnected from his workforce... I suspect he spends all his time with his small insular group and looking over spreadsheets - he simply doesn't care about the workforce - it's all just numbers on a spreadsheet.
It's the Japanification of the US, which is now infected many enterprises in this country. I agree with you, but to be fair, it's not a Fiserv only phenomenon. The recent banking bailout is another proof.
