I’m also a saddened by the state of affairs. The lack of empathy and a moral compass displayed by the MC and the Board is disheartening. Frank’s management is demoralizing at best and toxic at worst. I really thought Fiserv would DO THE RIGHT THING as stated in our values. They’ve proved that those are just words. It’s time the values marketed, internally and externally, actually represent the company - not Leigh/Britt curated lip service.
Frank has been empowered and rewarded to treat people like cattle. We are just a number on a spreadsheet. He has nannies, lawn care, drivers, and maids. He is absolutely tone deaf and doesn’t know how to relate to the majority of his employees. And he doesn’t want to. He tested his toxic management style at OFD and has dialed it up to 100 at Fiserv. No amount of complaining, education, or posts will make him think different. His mind is made up and no one has the ba--s to stand up to him. I’m disappointed in Devin, Byron, and Leigh. His OFD people have been behind him all the time but I would’ve thought OFS MC members would help him grow a heart. I’ve never encountered a real life grinch, but now I work for one.
I’m tired of being harassed, blamed and shamed by HR, JSOC and especially Brand for expressing my feelings here and elsewhere. We are not a family, this is not the “Great Return” and we are not being “invited” back. Tell it like it is. We don’t trust you. You need to be at an office for us to believe you get your work done. Dissenters are not welcome - only complaint brown nosers are ‘invited’ to stay or apply.
I’m not lazy and I don’t do yard work when I WFH. I bust my a$$ continually doing more with less and less and less. And they reward me with more work, minimal benefits, underwhelming pay and antiquated RTO requirements. All they’ve done is take and I foolishly kept giving. Fool me once, fool me twice.
People leaders have been put in the terrible position to tell their people to be in the office 5 days a week, move or find a new job. They’ve been stripped of the ability to lead a team and forced to simply manage work. Now, people are expected to uproot their lives, families, spouses careers, children’s school and more for a company that may close their office in a year (think Beaverton) or RIF them when Frank needs to make his numbers. This company is not worth it, others maybe, but Fiserv is a he!! no.
I’ve learned many great lessons here, most recently what NOT to do. I can’t wait to put this terrible nightmare behind me. I was once #fisvproud and now I can barely stomach the color orange or even hear the name without a visceral reaction. I’ll do the company a favor and leave after they threaten to fire me because I REFUSE to go into the office. Motivation is at an all time low. Morale is nonexistent. I hate to do this to my team but I can barely muster enough energy to get the minimal work done. I love them and don’t want to leave them picking up the pieces but I hope to leave soon and they’ll have to do that anyways. I’m seriously heartbroken it had to end this way.
Fu-k you Frank!
