The claim is that RTO is largely driven to increase collaboration and to build a cohesive culture. Meanwhile virtually all of the agents that work the phones for clover, customer service, etc are all work from home. As an employee I can’t/won’t buy into your talking points while such a large group of employees that need in office collaboration continue to work from home. How is it more important that roles/teams split across several states RTO just to use teams for their day to day work but on the phone agents that should be coached and trained in groups in person continue to work from home.

well maybe HR will add a bulletproof vest and helmet to your benefit package
Oh dear. Have worked downtown before and never had any issues. Neither has anyone I know, lots of who work / worked downtown. It must be sad to be terrified of the “big bad city”. MKE is on the up. Brookfield has all the appeal of expired fish.
I prefer to work at home so I found a job that lets me do that. Complaining about going to the office doesn’t solve the problem.
Why can't they just be honest and straight forward and say "You will take an inflation paycut and sit in this office, peasant".
The nonstop Bu11 S**t about "innovation" "collaboration" blah blah blah is so tiresome and fake, nobody buys it.

If you look at the boards for any fortune 500 you see the same RTO agenda in lockstep recently, makes me wonder what the top-down agenda really is. It clearly isn't profitability or productivity
“MANY of us are excited about moving to downtown MKE”
Ha ha ha ha ha…likely the same many that are excited about relocating to NJ.
Meaning nobody. Or nearly nobody.
This isn’t to say I’m not frustrated by recent moves that have been made, but MANY of us are excited about moving to downtown MKE - it’s not the nest of violent crime it’s painted to be by those who live out in Waukesha Co. Won’t miss Brookfield at all - it’s the most soulless town on the planet. Sadly chance of being shot anywhere these days.
Of course it is. I've worked both in-office and remote, I've never once had a client ask me "are you sitting in an office right now" in either scenario. You know why? Because as long as we are delivering high quality products and support THEY DON'T CARE. This isn't rocket science.
They do care however when they can't get responses from support or they have repeated incidents and outages due to understaffing and the company just being a clusterf*ck in general. And that's exactly where this group of executives have led it.
Fiserv's goal is to increase the number of people willing to quit without severance. This is one tool they are using to achieve this objective. If they do not hit their goal then they will push it up to five days a week or possibly reduce benefits to encourage people to leave.
Almost no one that's works in the Brookfield office wants to move to Milwaukee. The city is a mess with shootings and crime. People are being shot on the freeway weekly on the exact commuting route the Brookfield employees will have to take to get to that stupid new building. This building move is going to be a disaster for Fiserv.
It’s the same in Coral Springs. There are hardly any agents. One building looks deserted
Who would really want to work in downtown Milwaukee?????????
Maybe Milwaukee’s agreement to give $7 million for Fiserv Inc.’s new downtown headquarters would require employees actually show up in the office for the bulk of their hours, rather than work remote.
