Fidelity showed up on the list of donors to the Violence in Boston. Their leader Monica Cannon-Grant is an openly racist bully who strong armed companies like Fidelity to contribute to her multi-million dollar organization that she used as her... — read more
No D&I
Is Fidelity becoming single gender - men only company?
It's not worth it
The level of micromanagement at Fidelity is getting to a point where it's no longer worth it to go through the stress. I know this is not just my team, I've been hearing people throughout the company complain about this. I know how to do my job. I've... — read more
Fido sinking?
Fidelity sinking? Hard to retain people? Why?
Is Abby Johnson the big foe against WFH?
I feel she is. She strikes me as a person stuck to traditions. Notice how her title is still "chairman." Does anyone want to go back to the office to deal with hour long commutes and the chance of bringing home the virus? A new variant is spreading... — read more
Fido needs innovation
Yes, Fido needs innovation, but I wonder how much time will pass before the leadership realizes this. I believe that I will be long gone when the leadership finally decides to let in some fresh air. Isn't it high time for Fido to turn to the... — read more
Mediocrity
I’m not saying I’m the best employee ever, but it’s noticeable that Fido is slowly becoming a place for mediocrity. There are more and more mediocrities here who could never get a job here in the past. What's the problem? It’s amazing to me that... — read more
Outsourcing Responsibly
Based on India's government response to the Russian invasion, it would be nice to see Fidelity reconsider how many jobs we outsource to this... — read more
Tenured VPFCs being targeted
Are any VPFCs noticing they or their peers are being targeted? It has long been known Fidelity has been trying to take out the Incumbents VPFCs. Especially, if they were 50+. Today though it seems they’ve moved on to all Large book VPFCs. Is this... — read more
When will next layoffs happen?
Fidelity keeps hiring, but at some point someone will realize they hired too many! When do you think the next round of layoffs might happen? I'm not talking about a few here and there, but enterprise-wide layoff? Also, with the voluntary retirement... — read more
Tips for a newish business analyst?
BA here with about 2 years of experience. Feeling very lost about what direction my career should go. If you were me, what tips would you give? My goal is to work in product dev/technology. What certs should I get? Any advice welcome.
The "New" Fidelity
Wow, someone who didn't like Haley chirped in this article https://www.wsj.com/articles/fidelity-once-stodgy-and-adrift-bets-on-the-reddit-crowd-11643125668
Long successful career
Some have made enviable careers here, I know that, but I’m not sure if it’s still possible to grow a long successful career here? I have been here for five years and despite all my efforts I have not been able to make any career progress. I'm... — read more
RTO
What do you hear about RTO?
Women at highest leadership level under the owner
how many women report to the Fidelity owner? Do they have voice?
Thankful going into the New Year
A lot of folks on here seemingly like to criticize the company at times on various things (even though you'll never agree 100% with everything a company does no matter where you work unless you work for yourself). Truth be told I started in this... — read more
Required to report vaccine status
Seems illegal, you know, an employer wanting my protected health information. Should everyone be required to report their other vaccines for measles, mumps, polio? This is bull and a lawsuit should commence!
Base Pay Sux
Been toiling for 15 years and have received 3 base pay raises of measly amounts (total about 5k). Total compensation is ok due to shares and bonus, but ffs why are so many associates supposed to absorb base pay cuts you? The corp mantra is "we pay... — read more
The voluntary return to the office is a farce!!
The voluntary return to the office is a farce!!! We are relying on the honor system for employees to report vaccination status, well guess what, not everyone is vaccinated and are walking around the office without masks. Either have all employees... — read more
Omicron and RTO?
How do associates feel about voluntary RTO over the coming weeks, given that the Omicron variant starting to circulate? Are you planning to come into the office before year-end?
Stress and anxiety
Are people stressed at Fidelity? How is leadership?
Not an inspiring atmosphere
I’m getting tired of the competitive atmosphere such as the one at Fido. I have worked before in very competitive environments, but here it has been raised to a higher level. It’s not at all inspiring environment in which coworkers are pitted against... — read more
So much stress
I am satisfied with pay but I'm wondering if, for this amount of work and unrealistic expectations, I could do a lot better mentally and compensation wise somewhere else? The stress is huge and it's starting to affect my health.
Abby: We had a record quarter! Now get your butts back to the office!
Are all the old billionaires colluding to get their workforces back to the office to support their real estate empire and the local city tax authorities? What the actual f---k? Or is it just their ego?
Vaccine bonus? Nope!
Yesterday’s Fidelity central headline about Abby seeing payoff from going back on site made me think we were getting a bonus like Vanguard and Schwab but apparently it meant Abby would see a payoff not us.
This will not end well for Fidelity
So many of our best people are working for our competitors now. They were happy to snatch up every single one of them. I guess some companies know what a knowledgeable and experienced employee can mean to the company and its bottom line. Fidelity... — read more
A company that listens to its employees
My uncle worked at Vanguard most of his life. He always had only the best to say about the company, even after he retired. Then this week he found out they were cutting his retiree medical account - a move that would have cost him a lot of money. Not... — read more
9/30 VBOs
Another round of VBO people are leaving tomorrow. I wish them all good luck, hope they have a long retirement and are able to spend more time with family and friends. Please post and let us know how life is on the other side. Final round will... — read more
Progressive?
Wonder if the 'new progressive fido' will actually act in any sort of fashion; actions do speak louder than words. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-abortion-law-salesforce-employees/
FIDO was once a company to be proud of.
Mr. Johnson always appreciated his employees and we felt we were part of a company that cared about us. Fidelity also cared about our families by having book fairs for our children, circus tickets, Boston pops tickets, summer family outings etc. ... — read more
Don't give your all to Fidelity
I've made Fidelity the priority over my family so many times I'm ashamed to admit it. What did I get in return? An "attaboy" and more work. I was hoping my hard work would be rewarded in a way that'll help me provide better for my family, but I was... — read more
Annual Review Shenanigans
Time to dust off your prose and put together your greatest hits from the past performance year. You can re-live those fond memories, like: stalling progress, stifling creativity, afternoon wfh naps, diversity training, agile enablement, diversity... — read more
Vaccine mandates coming soon?
Inquiring minds are wondering when Fido will release the Kraken on the unvaxxed. Fidelity love cutting cost, so what better time to cut the folks that don't like to be told what to do. Perfect opportunity to enhance a young, woke, servile work force... — read more
Fear of a new beginning?
I managed to find a new job in less than a month of searching. I don’t know why I’ve been hesitant to try before. I thought it would be a lot harder, so I didn't even try. Honestly, I’m still a little scared of a fresh start, but that’s negligible... — read more
Fidelity hasn't had job security for the last decade
I hear people saying that the constant threat of layoffs is a new thing. It's not. I've been here for a little over ten years and in all that time I don't EVER remember a time when job security was not an issue. Yes, we had better benefits in the... — read more
