When will managers decide who’s getting promoted? I think it’s called common judgement if I remember correctly

And are they told to always include negative info?

Anyone hearing about another round next week?

I see it now, as someone older than my 20s. Less and less people know what they’re doing here. Everyone is new. Constant movement. Fido doesn’t pay enough to keep people or attract good people to necessary jobs. People are overworked and under payed... — read more

Anyone feel disappointed with the advisory services town hall today? We deserve more pay and they just ask us to “trust them”? We don’t trust you at all when now our comp is pretty much shifting us towards FC comp metrics but without the FC pay. — read more 

Fidelity just announced that they’ve been awarded LinkedIn Top 20 Company to work for. How adorable! Must be all of those “zany” events they throw for employees. I’m sure all the Fidelity shills will celebrate and promote this on their LinkedIn... — read more 

What are your thoughts on forming a union to fight going back to the office and OT pay for those on phones?

PAS layoffs in MMK and JAX planned for early next week. What do we know?

Are contractors also required to come to office every month? I heard in some location like NH, it is not required. Any idea in TX, NC?

Just searched “scrum” on the job board. Says a lot that they fired dozens of folks in that job and then posted openings on April 1st. Probably more about getting rid of dead weight than only reducing head count in the role itself.

I see a lot of confusion going around. Those of us who were laid off were given a document to sign (non-disclosures, severance, etc.) Inside that document, there is a list of ages and positions of those affected. This, by law, has to be given due to... — read more 

What up with Albuquerque location. They closed half the center. They lease the building to themselves and could pack up the center anytime and leave .. and management is acting cagey. I'm telling you something is up.

I heard this Friday will be the last day. All the best for the folks who are signing off…!

No notice. 20 years down the drain for nothing. Cowards!

How many days does it take?

Does anybody know what algorithm HR used to layoff the scrum masters? I feel that there are a lot of scrum masters who shouldn’t have been let go.

What's the package offered on getting layoff?

Wishing those laid off all the best. Hoping you all find opportunities that are less stressful and make you happy. For those that are still there, hoping morale gets better and that you eventually get good leadership. Enjoy every day of WFH, put you... — read more 

How did yours do? Did any go up?

Does Fidelity negotiate the initial salary offer when you are hired? Worth pushing back on?

Is there any truth to that rumor?

Is it possible to ask for VBO now?

Layoffs have just confirmed that.

I didn't realize LinkedIn had gone so downhill until I started getting so many scam offers. Please, everybody, be careful who you respond to. Research the recruiter before you do anything and be certain that the number you were sent really belongs to... — read more 

I know most of us put pay at the top of our job considerations, but once I realized that the pay is not what's the most important to me anymore, there were many, many jobs available for me. I want a job that has at least some job security, a normal... — read more

With these latest layoffs and how they were handled, the trust is completely gone. I think we'll be seeing more people make the decision to leave because who wants to work at a place where the leadership has proven to be both untrustworthy and... — read more 

A lot of scrum masters(SMs) in WI were laid off. Does it mean that india and Ireland teams will have SMs and US will not? What’s the future of the SM’s chapter. Looks like its in jeopardy

Are they prepping to go from private to public? Or a merger? Or a buyout?

Just wondering if those who have been layoff had already left the company. If not, when are they leaving?

My workload is already increasing and I know this is just a start. I'm starting to wonder why I was ever worried about being laid off. It's not as if this job has any redeeming qualities left to miss if I'm gone.

One of the top 3 items of importance to Fidelity is their public image. They have been known to settle issues out of court just to keep it out of the press (when possible). If you really want change, just blast social media with your common... — read more
