All of the other votes were zeroed out around that time. Seems like marketing to criticize employees rather than fixing the company culture.

Serious question. This seems like the most automatable business unit and I don't really see the need for anything other than 20 or so reps that would manage the inbound BUs

I heard about this site. Thought I'd give it a look-see. Talk about the most ungrateful people. Many of you, and you know who you are, don't deserve a great company like Fidelity. Many of you, and you know who you are, have no idea what a bad job... — read more 

The company is floundering and toxic. Layoffs are the only way Abby and her minions can gain control again. The company would fail any audit for all the mistakes they made with over hiring and nonexistent quality control. Please send auditors to... — read more 

I heard a rumor of mass layoffs in PAS in Merrimack. Can anyone confirm?

Fidelity alumni here, wanted to go back but looking at the dynamic work "model" out of everything, maybe not so much. I've heard different situations of multiple people not coming into an office. Some people left altogether - unsure if they quit or... — read more 

Any truth to that?

Work at Fidelity in Due Diligence for the longest time ever. They had a previous Senior Manager who hired her friends and babysitters and converted all her people including the lazy ones into permanent while she got rid off the smart and people who... — read more 

Howe is disgusting. People are coughing and sneezing all the time in the building and more than normal seasonal allergies. The air quality is low and the restrooms stink over a long period of time. The restrooms are regularly out of order. Is the... — read more

Anyone hear rumors of layoffs coming for FI? I know teams are beyond skeleton crews, multiple groups helping with processing volumes, grade 6 and 5s tasked with mandatory extra hours to do other role’s responsibilities. Maybe it could happen but... — read more 

Too many temp workers (contractors) being asked to carry load of "entitled" individuals who don't have any idea whatsoever of how things function. Boy oh boy, I'll be watching carefully when they realize what they have done...

After CTG, the priority shifts to wealth, likely leading to layoffs. Roger is having a party.Expecting cuts around L8s

With CTG hit this week, expect wealth and brokerage to get the axe next.

I’ve been an SL at this company for 13 years, and I’ve never seen so many managers—especially L8 employees—who seem unsure about their roles. There are numerous L8 GCLs, CLs, SLs, and Architects who don’t appear to know what they’re doing... — read more 

If you're JL 4/5 and your manager has more than 12-13 reports, your manager knows they are on path to have additional team members get RIF'ed. Anyone who says otherwise is obviously lying. Expect the decision to be communicated soon.

What a strange culture shift we have going on. Temp guys (we all know who they are) are being made to / feared into busting their backs or risk being laid off.... While the obvious entitled ones (you know who you are), who are clearly not up to the... — read more 

I took a job here thinking it’d be one thing, but turns out it’s a whole different story. The vibe, the workload, the actual work - none of it matches what was promised. I hate how tough it's to know what you’re walking into before you end up stuck... — read more 

Amazing how many posts have the same number up and down votes to equal zero…. Hmmmm. Something fishy in the hen house going on. Everyone sees right thru what HR is doing. SMH.

I left Fidelity a long time ago, and just thought about the pizza again. I just wanted to know if the recipe for the FLIK pizza was accessible anywhere outside of Fidelity. Thanks.

If it were, profits would come from growth, not gutting the workforce. But leadership keeps taking the easy way out, cutting deeper every time. Eventually, there won’t be anyone left to cut. Then what? Do they even have a plan, or are they just... — read more

In the VBO package what is the continuation of health care coverage? until medicare coverage availability age 65?

Anyone notice how rude and incompetent branch employees are? They call specialty trading for any request. It could be ordering tax forms or transferring money to a bank.

I haven’t heard of an actual way to track if someone is or isn’t onsite. Many sites have doors that don’t require you to badge out. So it seems like the only legit tracking is if someone doesn’t come in at all, which really again… if you can leave... — read more 

Anyone else hear that the Connect Week in office goal of 60% of weeks being full weeks being dropped? Seems vague and maybe put in place so HR can impose any penalty once they find “trends” - regardless of why you weren’t on site and whether or not... — read more

It’s great to go in every other week. Unless those weeks are the week after and the week before your period. All the women on my team are synced up and all probably look bipolar. I hate it. Such great planning.
