The Bench is Weak and the Locker Room Stinks: A Honest Glassdoor Style Review for C-SUITE

I doubt but truly hope this post makes it to the C-SUITE to give a honest perspective.

Pros:
•I love what I do. I love the client interaction, the collaboration across respective internal teams, the knowledge I have gained, and that I learn something new everyday.
•My manager and teammates are great

Cons:
•The dread as a remote worker to be asked into an office when you’ve never stepped a day into an Fiserv office outside of a meeting.
•Tracking Sapience, Clarity, and other dashboards to ensure you’re hitting your metrics.
Which causes LESS TIME FOR CLIENTS. Let me repeat that for those of you in the back…LESS TIME FOR CLIENTS!

At the end of the day, all that matters is that we all get our jobs done and that clients are satisfied. To use another sports analogy. A hitter can practice the perfect launch angle all they want but if you’re ONLY looking at the launch angle, then you’re missing all the other core baseball hitting fundamentals. Hands to the ball, staying balanced, etc.

Here’s the truth of the story. The motto of late is ‘We’re better together”, because the clients like to see us in the office. I guarantee you I have seen more clients, on multiple occasions, in my travels than Frank has ever seen in a Fiserv office. The clients would also like to HEAR what the respected Fiserv person is saying and not a plethora of background noise in a Sardine can.

In office is dropping like flies. Berkeley has become a turnstile and KNOWLEDGEABLE remote workers are leaving or being forced out.

Folklore says that one of the triggers for this "clients want to see us in the office" myth is when FB led a (single) client through Alpharetta and the (single) client supposedly called him out (jokingly or not) about all the empty cubes...snowflake feelings were hurt and an embarrassed CEO then decided based on that single personal embarrassment to inflate to "clients want to see us in the office" and all the singular focus on RTO. So lets measure attendance and Sapience mouse clicks as the primary yardstick for efficiency. Not business results...he's gonna be a perfect fit for Team Mango in DC. Destroying lives and companies...one misguided monolithic pronouncement at a time.

The bench is empty. No more substitutes left. Play the remainder of game with current players or forfeit the game.

Speaking of Glassdoor, the rating has been going down. It’s down to 2.8 now.

Post a review if you’ve haven’t already, it’s one of the only ways to publicly air your grievances.
