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

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 

I've seen no mention of layoffs on LinkedIn. Nothing in two weeks. With the thousands let go, why is that? Has Fidelity threatened to pull people's compensation packages if they write about layoffs on social media? How sad.

360 reviews of managers by associates are not a thing here. Incompetent middle and higher management doing not much actual things but collecting info/orders from below/above and passing them up/down, which they call 'strategizing' : ) Severe lack of... — read more 

What guidelines does Fidelity give to its lower middle managers?

If you’re not impacted by the layoffs, don’t speak up. Leadership doesn’t want to hear it. Just keep your opinions to yourself, support the goals and objectives, and quiet quit if you must. This isn’t a safe space.

I enjoyed reading the comments, there were lots of funny but mild critiques/concerns about dynamic working etc. And I got to know what my colleagues in different functions and BUs thought. Now it seems they disabled such feature for all company... — read more

If I don’t go in all the time what will happen? Will I get laid off? Will I get fired? I have been worth the company 10 years and have had good performance so far

In recent times, the once-stable landscape of Fidelity's corporate culture has been shaken by a series of leadership transitions and organizational shifts. Following the departure of Kathy, there's been a noticeable shift in company culture. Several... — read more 

Why is it that a good amount of people go home at 1-2? I thought 8 hours per day was required for connect weeks?

Are they done? Were they just last week? I feel like there’s so much misinformation going around the floor this week. I hate that I’m in the office because it’s a sh-tshow.

They say no in the FAQs of the September update to dynamic working but I’m wondering if that’s true.

Why is management pretending layoffs don’t happen every year or two. This is such bs and all hidden by lies since the company is private.

Is this typical behavior for Fidelity layoffs? They've laid off thousands of people and made a statement to the media, all the while not having the decency to communicate with their employees. No word from executives or managers. Even my coworkers... — read more
