You miss me yet!

So about 12-13 years ago I told everyone I was the bridge to something else. I told you we had the best claims workforce in the industry, without exception, but the cost of this was too expensive and we didn't need to be that good, but just good enough. I told everyone the days of working at SF for 35 years and retiring was over. I told you most people will never finish their careers at SF and it will just be a place for you to get some work experience and move on to something else. I told you to stop questioning decisions because the people that designed the future state model are much smarter than you. I conned everyone to move to a Hub City or long term growth facility just to turn around and close more offices. I told you our systems could never support a WFH workforce and oops we did it in a matter of days. I artificially lowered rates, bought tons of horrible policies and proceed to loose $27 billion in two years. I then gave myself record bonuses of $20 million and $24 million, the highest of any CEO in America. I cried a lot telling you I had to prove my business model worked and completely trashed the company before I retired. I effectively replaced the entire workforce with burger flippers and the 2040 crew. To cover my tracks and all the horrible things I did, I just "good ole boy'd it" and hired my long time buddy to finish the destruction. You miss me yet? It only get's better from here! Dang it hold on...my secretary if pregnant again....

Just received confirmation that they are now tracking us for 6 hours in office via IP tracking

So that’s why they have that stupid new goal about being present in office or some garbage.

Man, what about those of us that take long and frequent bathroom break because we are old and have fiber and bladder problems??? Every trip to p-e takes over 10 minutes to walk back and forth, and it takes a long time to empty it out because it drops so slowly as a 60 years old.

I am so glad I am retiring this year. I feel horrible for the young folks and all the folks that were hired as WFH and took a lower salary, now have to spend money to commute

Who gets a yes?

Is it only Maurice that gets a yes?

Need to backfill a role? We get no.
Need funding for a broken process? We get no.
Need funding to improve a process or build a client request? We get no.
Want to promote a hard worker? We get no.
Want to give money to a deserving employee? We get no.

Culture? No. WFH? No. PTO parity? No

I guess old Mo is the only one who gets a yes.

So far - no layoffs, no wfh email for GT.

It looks like it will be in April. We'll also see what the announced third-quarter results look like, which will say a lot about the scale. I think the Senior LT already knows exactly when and how much layoffs will occur. I hope they reform the FTS properly, because the current structure and management are a disaster and a flight without a pilot.

ENERGY LOCKDOWNS are coming!

If you thought COVID was bad, that's nothing compared to the energy lockdowns now being pushed. The International Energy Agency now wants "alternating license plat restrictions" (among other things), where you're not allowed to be on the roads on certain days.

They also want to reduce all road speed limits everywhere, so that traveling by road is increasingly suffocating and slow.

Back to WFH for all the complainers, another L for the bootlickers and “leadership” who stay steady losing.

Fuel Costs and WFH

Riddle me this:

Will Fiserv ever have the brains to permit WFH with exorbitant fuel costs that are imminent?

Seriously, we were able to work 2.5 years from home with little issue. For those of us who live further away from the office and still drive in, the cost of commuting makes zero sense during these uncertain times.

SG Off to Greener Pastures

SG, the WFH champion, is moving onto Wal Mart. Is it because something will be coming down soon? Bonuses usually coming at the end of March...is that not happening? Merit increase this year? How about the engagement survey that usually surfaces in April/May. Will that be put on hold? More layoffs? OR was she just able to take an opportunity with a better company that offers a fully remote role?

Will WFH ever make a comeback?

Curious what others are thinking about work arrangements lately, especially after the layoffs. I know the firm prefers having people in the office so there’s more oversight, but as a parent of young kids I’d personally be very open to working from home again, even if it meant taking a meaningful pay cut (like 10-25% less)

For me, the time and cost savings alone would be huge (commute, gas, parking, getting ready, lunches, etc), and I honestly find I focus better at home. Most of my day is on Zoom calls anyway, and sometimes taking those in the office is actually more distracting with background noise.

It would also be nice to have a consistent desk setup rather than rotating spaces, especially since our team area doesn’t always have room for everyone at once.

Just curious how others feel about it. Would you consider something like that if it were an option?

GENUINE QUESTION

I am supporting a team member with an accommodation to WFH due to a chronic illness. The likely balance will 50 percent in office and 50 percent at home. Totally genuine health condition, superb employee. In all seriousness, will this impact their job security?
All 'what job security ' type jokes not required.

How can managers track if and when we are in the office?

I just got assigned a new manager. He is based in a different location to me, as are almost all of the team. He only comes to my office once a month.

Me and one colleague are the only ones out of the 16 team members based in our location, and we both prefer to work from home, and perform much better. This new manager being in a different location seems like a great opportunity... Can I just lie about being in the office? Can he track key card swipes, or WiFi logins to see how many days per week I go in?

I know this info is logged, but does direct managers have access to that information? I'm wondering if maybe some gdpr data protection would prohibit them from being able to casually keep track of office attendance?

Are my dreams doomed?

Miss the pandemic era of working from home? Give it a decade or two, and it’s set to be the norm again. That’s because, although baby boomer and Gen X bosses may be winning the return-to-office war right now, new data suggests it’s a short-lived victory.

In fact, the National Bureau of Economic Research found that millennial and Gen Z bosses are far more likely to let staff work remotely than their older counterparts—and that it’s only a matter of time before they take over and bring their affinity for flexibility with them.

How does remote work connect to AI adoption?

How will younger CEOs change remote work policies?

What advantages do remote-first companies have over traditional offices?

What drives generational differences in workplace flexibility approaches?

The researchers tracked monthly surveys of 8,000 U.S. workers aged 20 to 64 across 2025 and concluded that when it comes to flexible working, two things are consistently true: employees at younger firms, and under younger CEOs, spend significantly more time working from home.

“First, employees work from home more often at younger firms—almost twice as often at firms founded after 2015 as compared to those founded before 1990,” the researchers wrote. “Second, employees work from home more often at firms with younger CEOs.”

In fact, you can see in their data that as CEOs get younger, the number of days they demand staff work from an office decreases, with those working under a twenty-something-year-old chief working from home the most.

It’s why the researchers concluded that work from home is poised to make a comeback, despite the likes of Amazon and JPMorgan currently mandating a full-time office return. As older leaders retire, the days of b-ms on seats five days a week are likely to fade with them.

In other words, your future commute may depend less on what HR says and more on the birth year of the person in the corner office.

And for workers who don’t want to wait, the study offers a simple hack: target younger firms with younger bosses if you want to maximize your chances of keeping your home office setup.

Gen Z bosses aren’t just flexible-first, they’re also digital-first
It’s not just that young bosses came of age during the pandemic’s remote work bo-m and see office cubicles as an outdated relic. Many of them built their businesses on Slack, Zoom, and AI tools, so flexibility and technology are baked into how their firms run—not bolted on as a perk.

The researchers found a clear correlation between younger CEOs and companies that are both flexible-first and digital-first, with leaders who embrace remote work also more likely to adopt new technologies and software-driven approaches to running their teams.

And that echoes what future-thinking CEOs have already been warning: Leaders who cling to the old ways of working aren’t serious about embracing AI.
“Forget about where people are working. Most companies will go by the wayside if they don’t embrace AI,” Mark Dixon, CEO and founder of International Workplace Group (IWG), exclusively told Fortune. “If you look at winners and losers, the winners are the ones that embrace the technology.”

“Embracing the whole of the technology, which is flexible work, flexible location, high levels of technology, using technology to get more out of your people. Those will be the winning companies, because they focus on the people,” Dixon warns.

“Embracing the whole of the technology, which is flexible work, flexible location, high levels of technology, using technology to get more out of your people. Those will be the winning companies, because they focus on the people,” Dixon warns.

As other leaders have pointed out, firms that focus on physical presence rather than remote, AI-driven work risk falling behind competitors.

Brian O’Kelley, the tech founder who sold AppNexus to AT&T for $1.6 billion in 2018, before founding Scope3, argued that remote firms, like his, have the top pick of top global talent and operate around the clock.

“The best companies are going to actually dump their offices to learn to work with non-bodied employees,” O’Kelley echoed in Fortune. “Anybody who has a back-to-office culture is actually hurting themselves.”

Being spread across time zones doesn’t just make his workforce available to customers at all hours of the day—it forces teams to be efficient and lean on the latest tech in ways traditional office-based companies simply don’t need to.

That’s why companies fixated on presence rather than productivity gains that actually enable an AI-first future are at a disadvantage.

“The thing is, if you build a culture that’s asynchronous and remote, it means you’re building a culture for AI to thrive,” O’Kelley added. “If you’re building an office culture, you are actually not building an AI-first ecosystem.”
