Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

It’ll still be the same bad workplace

Sapience or not. Whatever changes are happening, we can be sure none of them are for our benefit or convenience. I gave up hoping things would ever genuinely improve a long time ago.

@de I don't know about you, but I'm not a factory worker putting bolts on a widget as it passes down a conveyor in front of me. Some days I'm going non-stop from project to issue to meeting to whatever. Other days I'm stuck waiting for other teams with all my busy work basically done. And some days I'm working, but it's mostly in my head or on paper or an old fashioned whiteboard as I'm designing how a project might be built. Sapience only captures 1.5 of those three scenarios. So half of my work isnt provable if sapience is the only allowed evidence. However a good and knowledgeable manager would easily be able to sit down with me in a 1:1 and see I've clearly been busy doing what I was hired to do. Which isnt to keep pushing keys and a mouse to show proof of life or whatever. Please use your head for something other than a make-up carrying device 🤡

@cx If you are actually working then you have nothing to worry about, right?

I feel it is a psyop. I bet it's still there. They did not like us knowing how many hours we put in. I feel like HR found there is a legal reason to remove it. Or it is not gone. Trust is a horrible thing to lose.

@a3 What does getting rid of Sapience accomplish if we still have to be in office 8-9 hours per day, 5 days per week?

I agree with Gladiator. Let’s give it a chance.

No sapience seems like a huge positive just in itself tbh

Doesn't instantly transform it into an amazing workplace but it's definitely a positive step. Regardless of if it was to reduce costs or to improve morale (probably reduce costs with the other being an irrelevant potential upside)

I don't see how you can say getting rid of sapience changes nothing
