A couple of posts appeared here on Monday stating there were HR meetings with managers that afternoon. It's two days later. Does anybody have any knowledge on these meetings? Did they indeed happen? Any inside knowledge on what exactly was... — read more 

So no one in Abby’s board has the guts to tell her, “Everyone’s miserable right now…your decision is damaging the company?”

Is it just me, or are others noticing how everybody is becoming genuinely mean for no good reason? I know nobody likes working here and the stress is sometimes unbearable, but why do some use that as an excuse to bully their coworkers? We're all in... — read more 

Fidelity is forcing a team to relocate to the city centre, despite the existing office remaining open and the work being perfectly doable from there. Alongside reduced WFH, employees are facing significantly longer commutes for seemingly no good... — read more 

I wonder how many of the jobs posted online are actually going to be filled. You can spend hours applying on LinkedIn and still get absolutely nowhere. The people I know who are finding work seem to have an inside contact or someone willing to put... — read more 

It’s only Tuesday and I’m exhausted from driving. The vibe is miserable. There is no point to coming in to talk to people in other sites.

Is cutting 20% so I’d say that’s an ominous outlook for everyone Really a u c k s when companies get that grossly wealthy on our backs and labor then greed out for top execs and then cry poor mouth to employees. IBM used to never layoff they... — read more 

Today would have been a good day to be allowed to work from home. It would have been nice for Fidelity to give us the day to do our civic duty and vote. If you look at India, they get the day out of work on election days. Heck, we'll take a work... — read more 

Rumor was we would find out this week

Was so damning they’ll never release it? I mean it seems to me it’s gone into the deep dark recesses of digital file cabinets stashed in some digital no man’s land warehouse. I’m thinking beginning of the new year, and I might be wrong, there’ll be... — read more 

I've seen people mention hybrid and/or remote exceptions for spouses in the military. I only found this being available in times of relocating. Is that all Fidelity offers flexibility with?

They eliminated half our team and seem to think the rest of us can magically absorb everyone's responsibilities. We've agreed not to let them turn their staffing decision into our unpaid overtime.

Someone wrote this comment: “This place is going to get sold. Writing is on the wall, one reason they are letting morale go to shxt. There is no family succesor in place to take over. Various business lines will be sold to various different outside... — read more 

Why do we need so many grade-8 architects ,Engineering leaders and squad leads ? .What do these architects really do ?

Another large corporation in Boston is having the same problem of tenured employees not willing to retire in this economic environment. They are revamping their retirement benefits to entice people to go. Not a buyout. Changing it for all employees... — read more 

Also, general sentiment is that if another survey was done now, the NPS will be even worse.

Some folks obviously have flexibility. Do you?

Word on THE STREET is that she is FED UP with the number of director and above positions and those numbers gotta come down. Maybe time to take that informal RETIREMENT PACKAGE right the F now. I got that straight from 'Tadpole.'

Are folks from Smithfield really being transitioned to the Warwick MetLife site? Not sure if people here are just joking. And what groups have people heard would be going?

I'm a SWE who was laid off from Fidelity in 2024. Got back on my feet towards Q4 of 2024 with a contract job somewhere else. The contract job was great, until it ended back in June due to financial constraints. The option to work both at Fidelity and... — read more 

From waking up to make this commute to sit in an office on zoom calls to talk to my team thousands of miles away. This isn’t sustainable.

Top Secret…. VBO is now a serious potential maybe. Secret Squirrel

Barring this RTO, which just puts the fine point on my concerns. Is it me, or has Fidelity turned colder and more cutthroat these past few months?? I keep thinking of December 2025 and the outlook seemed brilliant like the stars and now it feels... — read more 

Is it impossible now to work remotely for Fidelity? I’ve heard them deny in office exemptions for people with extreme medical conditions but approve others for doctor notes claiming “anxiety”. Does every request hinge on a random HR person and how... — read more 

Let's say I am implementing a system over a weekend - we'll not just me, I am working with consultants and a bunch of our folks. So, I go home at 3AM. If they were to ask you to show up tomorrow at 9AM because of the RTO rules - I guess that's a... — read more

Just saying. I am angered.

My location, I'm yet to speak to anybody outside of my manager for longer than a few words. Still have plenty of online meetings, though. So the whole RTO experiment is pretty pointless. But we all already knew that.

Who has had their bonus discussion? I’m not hoping for much but one year they gave me a 0% raise so hoping it’s something; especially with the FT RTO mandate and gas prices. If they don’t get give atleast 5/6% raises this year, the majority of people... — read more

This is not Ned's Fidelity. It's extra cut throat these days and most of the L3s and above don't even bother to feign like they give a sh!t about the majority of the associates, except a few of their special people and anyone else who's been deemed... — read more 

MS is giving 60K buyouts. Heard its 2 weeks for every 6 months of employment. Since so many are complaining about RTO, will you take it if Fido offers the same ?

Who else is over this split in year end conversation? Thanks for the lovely words, but how does this translate to finances?
