Great and about time for those that already are forced to go into the office but what about us already remote? Where is our Reward? Let me guess we keep our paychecks

@a3 There was a time that they actually pushed many employees out of the office to save $$ on office space allocations. And there were many a time when Fiserv closed data centers, and the needed resources had to go virtual.
There was a time when Fiserv actually paid for our Remote office Internet/Phone and Cell Phone.
There was a time (many times, actually) that Fiserv purchased a company and made people go virtual.
Guess what - things got done when the company was Less Connected as it is today with all the tools available.
There was a time when this place was better! Few remain to know what that felt like.
@ct Question is Why are you on this?
Because they didn't sell when the stock was at an all time high. Now they are stuck with shares that are below their purchase price.
@bq Incorrect. The policy states that you cannot exceed 30 CONSECUTIVE days out of the office. So you can use 15 work from home days AND an additional 15 PTO days in a row (30 total days away from the office). But you cannot do 15 WFH and then 20 PTO (35 total days away from the office).
Ultimately they don’t want people deciding to spend their summer abroad by combining their 30 vacation and 20 WFH days all at once.
@bq it's not exceeding 30 consecutive days, not 30 days in total a year, right?
How is this great in the first place
It's insulting at best that they've tried to dress this up as a perk and thought people would buy into it
Most ridiculous company I've ever worked for
I know I'll look back and laugh about how bad this place is one day. I'm just not there yet
Cheap and nasty
@ct why are you on the layoff dot com
WHY DO YOU ALL JUST QUIT.
YALL COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING.
UNHAPPY WEIRDOS.
@bw BH can still hit it’s tax requirements going 3 days a week. The others can’t. It’s all a money game.
Our butts in a seat are an actual revenue generator, unfortunately.
BH already gets to work remote 3 days a week because of parking, why can't everyone else? make it make sense.
Read the policy, if you are a remote worker, it still applies to you, you can work from a non-Fiserv location. No idea how that applies for you, but some HR genius felt it necessary to word salad a bullet point about it.
For the rest of us, the remote worker effectively counts as PTO, read the policy you are limited to no more than 30 days out of the office a year anyway, includes PTO and remote work benefit. So this policy is ONLY useful for grade 10 and below I think who don’t have unlimited PTO, everyone else should just take the time off and work a bit if needed.
The only response to this post that I could think of was, okay, that's enough internet for you. Log off.
You’re actually complaining?????
@a3 you really can’t see the forest from the trees, can you?
I highly doubt Mike is wedded to being in-office 100%
However, he is hemmed in by the tax credits Frank signed at the respective hub sites - which must be validated that we are adhering to with attendance figures.
Those credits show up as fugazi revenue on our balance sheet.
We are in no position right now as a company to be giving away revenue no matter how on paper.
If we were in better financial shape, I believe we’d be getting more remote work flexibility.
Unfortunately, we are being constrained by those Frank tax credits.
It su-ks but it is the reality of the situation.
Is this a joke? You get to work from home 24/7. THATS THE BENEFIT.
Are you actually complaining while you’re 100% remote? Your reward is lower gas payments. Your reward is not paying for mass transit. Your reward is already in your paycheck while the rest of us have to drive in 5 days a week.
That being said, the new “flexibility” is bullsh-t. “Oh goodie, I can work remotely 15 or 20 days out of the year.” Pre-Covid, we were working from home 100 days of the year. This is not generosity. They want us to think it is, but I’m not buying what they’re selling.
