Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

I thought 60 for 6 was a troll

Until I read Mike's email

As someone who was bought into his new leadership until reading that it was very disappointing to see the disconnection from reality

Am already working 11-12 hour days 5 days a week without enough time to do everything as we are chronically understaffed and 90% of my time is spent dealing with issues that are a direct result of poor systems in place that have only ever been band aid fixed at best.

There is dead weight at fiserv who should be axed. But majority of people are hard working and doing the best they can with the systems available to them and until reading that email were quite energised at the thought of help being on the way.

Instead they were just told to do more work with no other changes apart from empty catch phrases.

So disappointing and upsetting to read.

@pm are you suggesting you lack the necessary skills, drive, and ability to do your job efficiently and correctly? That's a bold move Cotton. Probably a good thing this site is anonymous.

@pm you're right. Spend your extra time learning deeply what work will not teach you, or you are always replaceable.

They can ask until the cows come home, but people control when they work. None of this 60 for 6 sh-t would ever be mandated.

So the real problem here is not enough people pushing back on unrealistic workloads. If you give an inch they'll take a mile.

Who here isn’t already working 60 hours a week, just to TRY to keep up?

For six months, you work 40 hours per week of your regular schedule, and 20 hours of unpaid overtime. 60 hours per week for 6 months.

By completely burning out every employee, who is already burned out, somehow that will make the stock price higher.

It creates the illusion of a business strategy without anyone in leadership needing to think up a business strategy.

LOL acting like management level people are doing the work anyway. Give those who do real work a bonus or stfu.

@OP no shot that the 60 for 6 nonsense is a thing...(i'm more in disbelief than saying you are lying). I hope this serves as a reminder to everyone at Fiserv that this company will only ever continue to care about the bottom line and you are dispensable. Do NOT give them an inch! If they want changes then C-suite execs, VPs, and management should do something like learn better employee relations/management techniques vs putting it all on their employees and expecting them to "perform better" under these conditions. Y'all got rid of Sapience but ML really flipped the script with this noise lmaooooo

And guess what, this CEO who’s asking all of US to work our tails off, is having ZERO skin in the game — do you see him purchase ONE share of stock in the open market? No, he is not. Someone who does not have skin in the game will NOT be responsible.

I was doing the same overload of work until I finally became fed up and resigned without anything lined up. Early retirement feels so good.
