Anybody notice that only Fiserv employees are being laid off. None here. Well Fiserv is really First Data now anyway. FB making a ton of money, Yabuki got his beach house in Malibu and sold out his company.

Sounds backwards but FData has and is eating Fiserv alive, so while no terminations noted here, their new subdivision is having massive layoffs which, oh, kinda means Fdata layoffs too.

What are your thoughts on PTO: Paid personal days and paid vacation time are both available to First Data owner-associates. 2 weeks PTO, accrued - no rollovers. 2 wks 1-5-; 6-10 ; 3 wks ; 10+ 4 wks. A few years ago they actually took 3... — read more

First Data used to be a great company to work for, hasn't been for quite some time. Damn shame how they discard thousands of their employees at a time. No regard for people and their livelihood! Frank Bisgniano and his ginny cronies can go to hell!

All money to KKR, peanuts for employees, underpaid, overworked, discarded.

2000+ layoffs begin today Friday May 8th throughout the company. Since KKR acquired this company in 2007 there have been more than 15 layoffs approximately 2 per year. Zero job security, raises every 3 or 4 years if at all, no 401k match and high... — read more

Anybody has more info on this?

That's the rumor, cannot confirm it but I heard it from 3 different and not connected sources, all internal First Data corporate

Is there more info on the size of the cuts?

It's in our DNA and people are used to this - it's the nature of IT, we have expensive staff and the best way to control cost is to let people go. Yes, I heard that 2014 will be rough.

Some Denver staff to be let go, overall 550 folks will be cut. We have 1000 people in Denver. More stuff is moving to Atlanta, Greenwood Village was moved to Atlanta in 2009... More cuts to come in 2014... Not fun, there is a lot of fear and anxiety... — read more
