What's the latest on Wealth solutions? The mood has been quite somber this morning since last Friday's shocking announcement. We had a flash call this morning about possible impact.

Sacking someone who made you a trillion, reshuffling entire top leadership only to make associates go through anxiety, uncertainty and depression all over again???? Pulse survey can’t come sooner, fido leadership is dead

So what’s next? All that news, all the upper echelon are being moved around. The ripple effect has just begun… anyone know anything else that will be announced this coming week? I still think those emails Friday were just the beginning.

Buried at the bottom of leadership moves happening with Wealth is the news that Mona Vernon is coming over to Wealth to "focus on customer and product offerings." This is happening in mid-December. Will the replacement be internal or external? Will... — read more

Increase of days? Same schedule?

Any layoffs ? People sending emails about their last day at fidelity . Also seeing other folks in other companies with long tenure doing the same. Saw atleast 2 of them this morning on linkedin. Also lot of hiring in India as H1B fees by trump.

Both dems and reps are talking about reforming the visas. Everyone knows it is hot garbage. The end is nigh.

Why do people even bother with kissing a$$ to upper management and then burdening themselves with the fake lifestyle of pretending to matter as a 'middle manager'? I did tech for about 20 years and then retired because my 'butt kissing' manager was... — read more

L4 engineer here, just curious why my chapter lead has a VP of architecture as their boss. Whereas other software architects have other bosses. Not sure why.

I need to be blunt about the architecture team. They are overwhelmingly ineffective. Their performance is an embarrassment for what they're paid. They consistently demonstrate a profound inability to grasp practical constraints, rendering their input... — read more
