Attrition Targets
It’s going to be interesting when management sees they’re not going to hit the goal for attrition. The pandemic panic hires aren’t going anywhere. They know leaving fidelity means never working in a corporation again. It doesn’t make sense to punish... — read more
debit card call center
anyone else hear talk about us getting a call center for the debit card program?
Did a Fid - Recruiter ever reached out to you?
When there is a new job posting, If yes, how did they contacted you through linked or any other form
Well the way I look at it
If they want to fire me because I cannot make it in for some uncontrollable reason go ahead. The roads and mbta are horrendous each alternating a nightmare scenario. They’ll need to give HUGE raises and comp more because people are spending a... — read more
Talent Source Contract Renewals
Anyone know if contract renewals are happening for Talent Source right now?
Car Leases
Been wondering how many people got into a low mileage lease based on WFH & now are like ohhhh fxck!
Did you notice?
Did you notice that there are a lot more “work from home” jobs being posted on workday? Just today there are 3 new wfh jobs. It seems like the jobs are very specific and tailored to specific people already doing the job. Lot of VP jobs.
Filk price increases due to inflation
If Fidelity can’t afford raises for “associates” (only a dum--ss would think that’s a good name for employees), than they shouldn’t be able to increase the profit they make from us. No raises based on inflation, but we also can’t keep the lights on... — read more
So who thinks it s good idea for central and west coast
Or anyone wfh still wfh plan late meetings that impact us on the east coast?!! It’s rude and self centered. Like get some sense of wherewithal. Would you like our early meeting be 630 am for you?! Oh no? Ok then use your brain and not your 🫏 to book... — read more
Cafe kiosks
Instead of making everyone use kiosks for ordering because some employees were busted shoplifting, how about we pay people enough so they aren’t tempted to shoplift at work?
Seniority
Now that I’ve been here over a decade, I can see why the old timers before would get livid that Fidelity invests so much in kids right out of college. At the time, I thought the older people were jealous but now I understand fidelity gives the kids... — read more
VBO
Is there any VBOs coming ?
P Shares
hey everybody, so I know a friend who walks dogs with a person that has a casual friend that they get coffee with sometimes who once went on vacation with somebody but they’re now friends who knows someone who became a VP at fidelity and they were... — read more
Welcome to the year end where Dinosaurs THrives while lower grades suffer
Welcome to the new age. Dinosaurs are having increased bumps in pay checks and bonus eating the dinner of G4's and G5's. These dinosaurs are ruthless and shameless. While principal, directors and VP's are claiming the credit of the work done by G4's... — read more
The denial by those at the top is stunning!
Since early 2021 we’ve been hit with massive inflation extremely high energy costs and what appears to be greed all around and grift and fraud. Suffice it to say our money gets less bang for the buck. Buying breakfast and lunch commuting in needing... — read more
I call BS on Glassdoor's best places to work 2026
There is absolutely no way that it's the best place to work with RTO. I don't know who is filling out the survey but it has to be bots. And the people putting this on linked in are bootlickers.
Gas projected to top $6/gal
Seriously considering telling Fido that I literally CANNOT absorb the extra financial cost of commuting to work every day when gas is projected to hit $6/gal. Is anyone else concerned about this? Sure, it’s fine if you live within a few miles but my... — read more
Return to the office exceptions
Are they granting just enough of them to breed discontent and further lower morale?
What if…
Someone had a copy of a strategic plan that showed KPIs for hiring women and minorities? What if that proof existed?
How many years of experience is it expected for a 'Principle Systems Analyst'?
Ive seen several postings on the Fidelity Career's site, but dont see any requirements of years of experience , any idea what the average/expection for a principle systems analyst is? Is it greater than a senior analyst?
‘Return To Work’
Anyone else catch this slip from Bill F at the all hands earlier?
Oracle layoff after record quarter
Oracle is experiencing record quarters, just like us. They are laying off folk. We are making people miserable enough to quit. Maybe the lay off rumors for us have some credibility? What is going on broadly? CEO desperate to replace humans with cheap... — read more
Construction
Why didn’t Fido finish the endless construction BEFORE making everyone in COV return to the site?! No one can funnel a frec report to princess Abby?
So much noise
I forgot how much noise, how much constant chatter, how many distractions there are at the office. I swear I was half as productive on the RTO days than I was when working from home, and I know there are many others in the same boat. Can somebody... — read more
NJ RTO
How is the RTO going? Ive been on mat leave and coning back.
Who else is not complying with RTO?
I can't be the only one.
The plan is to work us into quitting
That's what it feels like lately. Just pile on more and more work =until we break and walk out.
Right size our pay
When the staff drops the 5-7% based on industry average, hopefully Fidelity will also fix the pay issues. My BU hasn’t given raises in the last 3 years and said it’s based on market pay. With inflation hitting 20% since the start of the pandemic... — read more
How can I get someone employed at the Fidelity gym?
Pretty much exactly what the title says. I know someone who just got a bachelors in exercise science who's trying to look for a job. The Fidelity base closest to me has a gym, so I thought to refer him to a job there as a trainer. How can I do that... — read more
I’m actually kind of ticked off.
I don’t get this ft rto for some but not for all its arbitrary and unfair So bc our area has the space we get to slog into Boston with our costly commute while other areas that likely cost less to commute get to wfh?!? How does that build... — read more
India leadership
What, precisely, is their function? They seems to have ample time to dissect the most trivial of PowerPoints and visitor agendas. Beyond convening superfluous meetings and squandering the time of others, do they contribute anything of genuine value?... — read more
sep-oct cuts
Any info around sep -oct cuts? Heard lot of grade changes
Why is the RTO only to certain locations while other locations are enjoying lyf?
Why is the RTO only to certain locations while other locations are enjoying lyf?
Sick and have just accepted the consequences
Of course I get sick on day 2 of RTO. I don't care anymore I'm WFH like you should. None of this stupid pressure and fear of losing my bonus. If they are threatening to take it away its probably already gone.
data scientists
What exactly do these guys do? They're always in POC mode, churning out white papers that nobody really reads. Do they actually add any value?.
Smoking rooms!?
If there are lactation rooms, focus rooms, changing rooms and family bathrooms, why can't there be smoking rooms on campus as well? I gave up smoking 7-8 years ago but I am thinking of starting again since RTO and I wonder who the employers are to... — read more
Why do I feel like this is
Just the beginning of Groundhog Day for us all?! This is the daily grind personified. I just think after 6 years of ft wfh and then hybrid this is going to be a really difficult slope to scale after a couple of months with no let us except an... — read more
First day of RTO - back to school signs cringe
I’ve seen a couple of people in Boston post holding back to school signs - so cringe. Today I am 47 years old. When I grow up, I want to spend 2½ hours commuting so executives can see me on Teams from a different building. Then the HR talent acq... — read more
