I’ve worked late hours, weekends, traveled all over this country for Fiserv. 20 years of my life down the drain. I have at least 40 projects in flight. Who is going to figure out how to do these implementations. These newbies take over a year just to figure out how to submit a task, Good luck with client retention!

OMG! 22 years here, I thought about the same, traveled all over the country , weekends, evenings , airports delays , long evenings at client sites , eating plastic food, with 70 projects today!
Are they thinking? I cried last night.
What they don’t realize upon everything else is they are creating a culture that will never become what it was before. No more of staff doing extra or giving more. It’s simply not worth it. We will all become 8-5 and less productive employees. They think they can leverage this potential recession and inflation to keep people or bring up hourly McDonalds workers but it will never work in the long run.
And people begrudge the millennials for job hopping but honestly, they have just figured out that loyalty in current workplaces, from employers to employees, is basically a thing of the past. They are treating companies the same way companies treat all of us. Personally, I think they are just embracing the current environment and doing what we should all do.
It is human nature to think if you show you care about something through action you will receive the same in return. When people invest their time and health into a company, we tend to believe that the company we work for and are dedicated to will show gratitude. In the past, this was the company attitude. However, today, in the New World, companies all over the world are treating their employees as expdendable cattle. When you treat someone this way in a personal relationship, for me, it means that person you were dedicated to has found someone better in their eyes. When companies do it, it means the same thing. Whatever that better may be in their eyes, especially Fiserv, I hope it bankrupts them all and the C Suites don't get their golden parachutes they are dreaming of.
All of you are valued - don't let other factors diminish your worth or the great job you've done. You are appreciated - don't run from your own home.
Stay and continue to shine - nobody can take that away.
Almost 25 years here. I’ve busted butt for them with nothing to show for it from the once formerly great company. Frank is only out for his huge bonus he’ll get by cutting 20% by end of 2024. He and his minions care nothing about you, the company or the clients. All are expendable in his quest for that bonus, then he will retire fat and happy. The rest of the C suite are not in it for the long haul either. It’s “get mine before there’s nothing left to get”. I’ve stayed because of tremendous people I got to work with and I loved delivering a good product to our clients. That time is gone and it’s time to move on.
I implement or do conversions for at least 20:different products. Knowledge going out the door! Like I said, good luck…
We're all asking the same question. I, too, busted my a** for many years and gave everything I have to the product I work on. Leave and give 20 more years to a company that actually deserves you. As hard as it is, don't look back. This time will pass.
