I hate that now everyone is an “associate” or a “leader”. Show me one manager that’s a “leader”, in my group and I’ll have a heart attack. Classifying everyone as manager and peasant is very blue collar of the firm.

My boss told me his manager put me on a IP. It started as SP-L but got downgraded to a full IP. The result is no raise and half the bonus. He doesn't have any specific critique, but said his boss wants me to be more visible and on camera in meetings. — read more 

Trying to understand why my bond wasn’t 100%

0.5% raise AFTER being an exceptional performer???? I got much higher raise when I was SP last year. Yes the higher bonus was something I expected. But negligible increment seems like a strategy to keep employee on their toes and live in... — read more 

If you're smart enough to read between the lines, you should see BIG changes coming up on the horizon

What i can see is a systematic sidelining of squad leads across wealth and brokerage .The grade-8 SLs are on their way out. Squad leads are treated par with scrum masters.

Or more importantly, how?? Do so many people truly think she's doing a good job? I'm just as shocked at the 4.1 overall stars. I didn't think I was the minority in my opinion of this place, but looks like I was wrong.

I read a post about new hires getting pushed back, and it sprouted a question from when I was interviewed by Fidelity. I was laid off x amount of years ago, and had an interview with a job at Fidelity that got cancelled shortly after I interviewed. I... — read more 

Two people who were supposed to join our team had their start dates pushed back indefinitely. Everyone knows what that means, even if HR uses soft language. It is a bad sign when even onboarding becomes uncertain.

When will they release the Dynamic Week schedule for March and onwards? Any rumors of any big changes? 900 bldg in SMT is a sh*t show!

No difference between SP and EP really. Got EP this year and received same number of shares, bonus is an extra 1k and pay increase extra 1 %. Cr-p!

Which do people start to get shares automatically? Is it level7?

Last year I got a bigger raise compared to this year even though my rating was MUCH MUCH BETTER. Does anyone know how the raise works here? What's the point of being a high performer if it doesn't translate to money?? When will Fido realize... — read more 

Me and some peers I talked to in wealth got no pay raises because of the pending changes and role clarification. I feel like they’re signaling a lay off by giving no raises. Got decent bonuses and shares though

Got a "first and final" warning about Connect Week attendance today, specifically time spent in office rather than badging in and out. And no bonus for me this year as a result. Pretty floored although I guess it's better than being fired with no... — read more 

I have been told that i need to have minimum 15+ years experience to move to G7 in India .Is this normal ? This leadership group's most detrimental practice is the systematic sidelining of high performers. Governed by an implicit anti-meritocratic... — read more 

Any confirmation if managers got the okay to stell associates?

Any word when either date will be?

Manager had some off boarding stuff he needed me to acknowledge and one of them stated my status was terminated. Anybody else get this? Should I contact HR to find out if I’m rehirable?

The constant reshuffles and unclear future make any retirement plan a joke. At this point I’m planning for options outside the company.

So we all know Fido moves slowly but based on water cooler chats, the mind has been made up They are just delaying the announcement until Q1 2026. There's no Q1 planning for our team apparently this year so not sure what that means??

Please get your s#it together, because it is very clear and apparent that there is mass chaos going on in the c level and a couple levels below. Why would you announce broad and vague massive organizational changes yet provide zero clarity at the... — read more 

How is bonus distributed? Do managers get a lump sum and asked to share amongst his team?

Enterprise tech, Wealth, WI, Brokerage have been tightening the belt it seems. They already know who's on chopping block with Boston office relocating to sea port, NC already at capacity. So why not let associates know who's impacted? There are... — read more 

Anyone hear anything about what March 2026 will bring for Connect Week schedule changes?

What are all the end of year ratings used in Fid? Is it just Successful performance and unsuccessful performance?

Over the past 2 weeks, I’ve seen 2 posts from users claiming they’re Fidelity employees who also claimed they wanted to commit su----e. One reason for being soon to leave Fidelity. Another for believing they are unfairly compensated. I know Fidelity... — read more

My experience at the Fidelity India UFest was a complete letdown. The event was chaotic and demeaning, making attendees feel like a herd of animals. The leadership session only made things worse, revealing a clear disconnect and a lack of operational... — read more
