Pretty sad Fiserv in that your only measure of performance is...
Fall below the thresholds set by those who have no idea what a good vs bad performer are and you end up on a report. What's even worse is that there are teams of people to gather this data and generate these reports.
How do you know it’s been installed?
It's easy for frank to have that mindset when apparently all he think about all day long is how he can sc--w others to get "his." Frank can't help but to think of us as thieves, cause that's all he knows.
Folks, refuse in-person meetings because it will not be counted as working.
A symptom of hiring leaders that don’t understand the work being done; Which is also why headcount reductions continue, because leaders can’t justify the need for employees if they don’t know what they do.
I imagine this is the convo:
“Why do you need these people?” - CEO
“Umm I don’t know” - Leaders
“Okay, get rid of them then” - CEO
He comes from a 1980’s mindset when businesses assumed all employees were stealing from you.
I don’t give a cr-p about Sapience. Waste of time and CPU. Ironically it just slows me down. It’s ridiculous.
Personally I don't give a F. Do my 8 hours and go home. Suggest others do the same and stop providing fi free rent in your head.
All it does is cause people to game the system. I spend time on any call I'm invited to and then don't multi task. Anything I need to, I do after the call. I usually listen to calls and take care of personal stuff. It's 100% counter productive.
Also, let’s not forget “working hours” on top of in office hours or hours on a computer. The person who spends 4 hours completing the task is considered less productive than the person who spends 8 hours doing the same thing.
Obsessing over quantitative metrics is part of the industrial sweatshop mentality and has no bearing if any kind whatsoever in what used to be more in tune with a technical environment where intellectual activity, quality, customer satisfaction, process efficiency, etc, were the primary focus.
This is bean-counting at the most extreme level but it’s definitely the new law of the land, regardless of the fact that it is in fact completely counter-productive.
But these folks have no experience nor the brainpower to do more than count things, which must give them a great sense of satisfaction - as if deliverables were themselves numerical in nature rather than complex, team-built, multi-layered, networked applications and the serious, hard-corr tech that ensures it all works together.
The watchers watching the watcher.
