Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

@k8 Just don't respond to or open the emails (read receipt). You can always claim you haven't seen any offers from them. Don't answer their calls either... until you're ready.

@h6 Valid point. Where I'm at UEI pays so little that a month of it doesn't even cover a single mortgage payment. I signed up for it. But haven't claimed any money from it yet. Also having to look for and document looking for work their way is way more effort and restrictive than just job hunting the normal ways.

Be sure to review the rules surrounding unemployment in your state. Turning down a position that you are qualified for may jeopardize those benefits.

It is normal. You will get letters for about a year after you were let go.

They aren't trying to recruit you. They just send job listings to all former employees who meet 51% of the requirements. Your former manager is the one who decides if your job was close enough to the new opening.

It is annoying but the letters do eventually stop.

Return to Fiserv? I'd only go back if I'd already perfected the Superman III penny-skimming plan and briefcase full of gasoline and a Swingline stapler. Otherwise, I'll take the severance and spend it on a hotel stay at The Villas like that ad up top is begging me to.

Fun fact: if you get rehired within 12 months, you keep your service hour clock and your PTO clock.

Don't start up employment until your severance period is up.

That's what I was told during my exit interview because I asked about it.

I got the same kind of email last week. I am not interested. The way they managed was not suitable for me. I was micromanaged out of a job and put on a pip right when I started. And they did not even give me the job I interviewed for.

I already got my severance. So I would not expect a call back.

You'd be crazy to pay back your severance and start over again with no protection

First I've heard of it. Maybe they are realizing the XLS they use to select people is off.
