Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

Mike won’t listen. Mike does not even have one share of the stock. He does not care about this company, at all.

I know a guy in merchant who cut someone and put his neise in the role instead lol

More than half of the h1b Indians managed to bring their spouses in Fiserv. Many with no previous related experience. Shocking how they managed to do that. So not just the visa holders, also the dependents are making a bad situation worse.
I think the h1b , l1 holders should all go back unless they are so talented and it can be proved that the business depends on it. I bet at least 95% will not qualify to stay.

@k0 everyone not Frank from mid management upward now gets to look like an id--t when they list this company on their resume

Again I don’t understand how you could hold the stock and observe some of the people working here. There’s definitely nepotism and favoritism, and it’s not toward the smart people.

I have someone from the area they describe on my team people have mentioned, and not all are like that. I bet you most Indian people don't like it either.

There are a few reasons it could happen including honest referrals or that we do business in the country. Zoom out and try not to become an ape. You will sleep better in Frank's America.

post describes how small the brains of some ppl

@e3 This describes corporate America.

@e2 too extreme. few are exceptional. many good. most not.

@b0 They are mediocre at best.

@d2 reading skill issue

Seems like you only want the Indians to sweep the floor at Fiserv and make America great again right 👍

@b4 What you are saying is true and not related at the same time.

@bc Who's on deck?

@be
AI's overview on Telugu unethical hiring practices

Heavy favoritism toward Telugu candidates, creating "monopolies" in departments (e.g., 70% Telugu in teams). Managers allegedly ask "Are you Telugu?" and prioritize language/region over merit, exploiting H-1B visa holders for overwork. This disadvantages Americans and non-Telugu Indians.

we're hiring anyone willing to to commit to the 60 for 6 program

@be is it the Telugu people?

@bb I've never seen it being possible the way like you describe at Fiserv. It's my first job though. Maybe I am sc--wed.

Who else finding it funny that people on this board assume humans at Fiserv can only be Indian or American?... 😂

@b4 Nobody mentioned H1B except you.

@b5 while it looks like all Indians do that, there is one sub group of Indians that do that. It’s well known in the Indian community who those people are. Most Indians want a more diverse team but this one group will prefer only their own. They hire only those that speak their particular Indian language. They will drive out anyone speaking other languages from the team. Most of the H1B abuses are by this group of people. Sadly there are many such teams at Fiserv.

@b0 people said Indians inferior?.... More like a lot of people at Fiserv specifically seem to be hiring in a bigoted or nepotistic way huh. You tell me that Fiserv hiring represents all Indians on the planet???

Well our possible next CEO is from India so get on board.

Although I hear some of the Mumbai Brahmins are upset she’s from Chennai.

@b4 There’s a noticeable gap in technical proficiency among many professionals in this space. It’s not enough to simply be willing to work hard—what’s needed are individuals whose competence allows for efficiency, not just effort. When teams are skilled, long hours become unnecessary.

A sign that the work is well-designed? It doesn’t generate years of redundant tasks or require endless meetings to explain what could’ve been automated or simplified.

You can’t outperform someone who dedicates consistent, focused time to learning—especially when that learning happens outside the narrow scope of their job. That’s where the real blind spots are: the things people don’t even realize they don’t know.

Being busy isn’t the same as being effective. If someone lacks the ability to think critically and instead doubles down on excessive hours, it doesn’t elevate their value—especially not to the point of justifying exclusionary attitudes.

The real measure of productivity is creating systems that don’t demand 20-hour days. That’s the kind of contribution that moves the needle and reduces risk, not adds to it.

@b8 Theres almost no Chinese people at Fiserv, so your explanation doesn't make logical sense...

@b1 Americans are lazy. And I think they will starve in the AI age because they’re lazy and do not learn. Indians and Chinese will take over all fintech companies over time.

@b4 it’s true though. Indians prefer to hire their own, regardless of who’s more qualified.

So the guy calling Indians as “low quality “ people isn’t belittling? The job market is frozen because of the economy. Most companies including Fiserv have listed “no h1b support” on the job listings. Almost no one is hiring H1Bs at this time. There are thousands of IT jobs still available and due to the proclamation , Americans will be preferred! But the sad truth is many don’t want to work five days in office or have unreasonable pay expectations. The bigger issues is the lack of skills needed in the market. The guy supporting a Java 4.0 application is not going to be needed anymore! The great Americans of the past that built the IT industry have retired. They had incredible work ethic, innovation , instinct and passion. The ones we see now are “I have been here long enough that i am owed a hefty paycheck regardless of how little I contribute or how outdated my skills are”

@b0 H1Bs and foreign labor froze the job market and that’s why Americans are having a tough time finding a job. Instead of accepting this, you belittle and call people racist.

Just when you think maybe the Americans have a valid concern about losing jobs to foreign workers, people like “at “ make an obnoxious “Americans are inherently superior “ post and portray Indians as some lower quality humans and destroy any empathy. Keep spouting this “I am great because I am white “ while they replace you! And yes with your racist attitude you will definitely be laid off soon! If you are so good you would have found another better place like so many competent Americans. You are nothing but a below average schmuck who got lucky with your job but now your negligible skills are not needed by anyone. You are not that important. No one gives a damn if you stay or leave hahaha

And just because they seem to 'work longer and harder' for less money doesn't equate to better quality output. Sure a few may be stellar, but this is the EXCEPTION not the rule. The fact is the quality usually drops, the non Indian team members are excluded and ridiculed, and then they need to pick a scapegoat. And it will always be the person who isn't Indian. The toxic people will stay put, probably because of nepotism. They will need a bulldozer to get me out of here, this is America and I intend to keep taking my paycheck. While I figure how the heck to get out of here.

@OP shocked at the lack of discussion of this on here. It's a serious problem here.

20% to 1/3 of US IT workforce. 100% of India workforce. If you can do math it's obvious why 95% are of specific origin in US Mr smarty pants.
