Anyone heard that?

We have recognition programs, but they don’t seem tied to actual contributions. Some people get highlighted constantly while others doing similar work don’t get mentioned at all. I know I'm not the only one who's noticed the inconsistency. Talk about... — read more 

I'm trying to stay positive, but it’s tough to picture things improving in any way without major changes. And I don't think we'll be seeing such changes any time soon, if ever.

Interviewed four candidates for a contractor position in past two weeks, all the same identity. Is it that no Americans want to contract with Fidelity? Or Fidelity Talent Source (FTS) can't develop a diversified pipeline?

The Land Of Dots job cartel is for real. I read about it here and elsewhere and thought, Ha, No. I've seen multiple promotions and none of them make any sense. Job Level 7 promotion to Squad Leader. She can't function in Excel, and got promoted... — read more 

Dear Mr head of wealth, it’s now been 5 months. What in the actual f are you even doing? Why make an announcement with a timeframe of knowing more just to retract yourself like a turtle? It’s amazing the type of leadership we have here and it’s very... — read more 

The era of prosperity is drawing to a close. Our world is entering its final, irreversible decline

Laid off from Fidelity as a SWE in 2024, became a contractor at another company using a contracting agency that works with Fidelity. Wanted to know if there’s a list of contracting agencies Fidelity uses so I can contact them and have more contacting... — read more 

Today we found out that a member from my team who has only been on the team for two years will be getting promoted. That person is still very new and has a lot of questions and in my opinion work to do. One of other members on the team who has been... — read more 

Fidelity appears to have made a business decision long ago in response to shrinking margins, automation, fee compression, and a more self-directed investor base. The problem isn’t the decision itself. It’s how that decision has been... — read more 

Everything ,going to change on April

Has anyone had any issues taking a promotion in another dept or location? I want to start looking to make additional income, but I’m worried it will backfire and I will be out a job. Any wisdom is appreciated

I joined last year but I see just way too many Principal Engineers and Directors. Like teams of 8 with 3-4 Principal Engineers? I have seen teams of 10 where 5-6 are Principal Engineers!!! Also, teams with multiple Directors. Is there any promotion... — read more 

Looks like Fidelity still offers remote jobs?

All Sr Leader in Vegas offsite this week whats happening? Big decisions?

Anyone know how to find salary ranges for specific roles here? And does location change the number? Thanks.

I'm fed up of management through fear. You can scare people into doing two or three jobs for the price of one for a while, but not forever. Eventually we just stop giving a damn and go back to doing just our original job. I 'm at the point where I... — read more 

I guess in one and half or so, we will know our fate. Woke up to flash call scheduled on my calendar for 9:45 AM. GCL has been posting in group to "make every effort to attend

Let me explain how it works here. First, actual performance is irrelevant. The people who work the hardest and produce the most are seen as threats, so they get cut, while the mediocre ones who keep their heads down and do not rock the boat stay... — read more 

At least 4 director level employees in FAE let go as of today. One-and-done cut or are they going to drag it out over the week?

Whenever there are talks about cuts, it's always the exceptional performer, the ones who delivered at critical times are on the chopping block instead of the ones coasting breezily. The reason??? Majority of slackers (you know who you are) won't be... — read more 

Everyone I know is burned out. This place isn't what it was ten years ago. We'd all leave if we could but nobody's hiring. I've got a masters and 50+ applications out there. Not one response. The constant threats and fear have drained me completely.

Even a rough idea would help. Everyone around me is guessing, nobody has a clue, and the anxiety is through the roof. I can't focus at all.

You can work nights and weekends and they'll still blame you for the next tiny thing. The worst people sit right next to you, take credit and disappear when there's a problem. I'm completely finished with it.

We get a schedule every six months but nobody ever says it’s set in stone, so the bosses can change stuff whenever they feel like it. That makes it really hard to know what to work on or even plan anything outside of work. The “perks” and rules keep... — read more 

Is it March 10th? Are we really doing this again with the whole "second Tuesday of the month" purge timeline? We literally just went through this in 2024.

Especially since they cut the perks at work :(

Topping the list: not turning off your audible notification for Teams messages. Or letting them pop up during zoom calls.

So I am hearing tech leadership is moving up the ladder ?

There’s a lot of rumors, and we are all worried. If anyone has information, please share.

We are wrapping a big initiative and will be soon in enhancement mode. And I'm not in same location as my manager and noticed we hired someone from other team who is in same location as bulk of the team. While I feel this new person has a lot to... — read more
