Nothing and I mean nothing scares ppl investing with any bank more than turmoil and unrest. They are really pushing for massive layoffs done by silent workers being threatened long insane hours and excessive workloads. They WANT this to happen. ... — read more 

Anyone going through that recently? I got this fu--ing annoying member from another team, who is good for nothing. Yet, I can see behavior which always cause chaos, trying to step on everyone’s toes. Matter of time when someone asks them to “calm... — read more 

My gut feeling is they don't know what they are doing and are just trying another model that will also fail. There are so many groups to all running around "getting alignment" with each other that they fail to just get the work done. They could be... — read more 

You gotta be freaking kidding me. After 6+ months of torture, we gotta endure 3 more months of this bullsh-t???? Fidelity seriously needs to prioritize how it's affecting mental health of associates.

I heard contradicting statements on whether we will continue to get severance even if we join else where.

That's it that's my post. Somehow we lost this. I think all of us have a hunch why.

The rumors have been floating around for weeks now that more is coming, but nothing official just yet. Has anyone heard a date or even a rough timeline for when the next round is supposed to start?

Best advice I got when I was laid off a few years ago was to treat job hunting like a full time job. Job hunt and interview for the full work day, but constrain it to work hours. Take breaks, meet people for lunch, and most importantly sign off at a... — read more 

Anything to the rumor that she will leave in the next 3-6 months?

Management said that people are more productive at the office. Why would they start telling the truth now? Senior leaders are as trustworthy as a politician.

All anybody cares about here is making more money for those on top. We're not even an afterthought.

What does fidelity care about and not care about as far as giving back equipment? I’m hoping I can keep the monitors, docking station and webcam but obviously won’t steal them. According to the fid central site if equipment is older than they like we... — read more 

That seemed to be the only qualification for people who were promoted. Not really anything other than their manager liked them and they were in the office.

That’s all.

After the massive layoffs, they are still looking for 5% IPs for the year end during the mid year reviews. More layoffs coming year end?

The Linked in posts all seem to follow this format. "After X years at Fidelity my role has been eliminated, but I am so grateful, humbled....blah blah for a couple of paragraphs... I've had the privilege...I never felt so valued...as a move on to my... — read more

If Abby is making us go into the office every day, then, maybe that’ll let people not have to go into the office sometimes? Like if someone has to see a doctor, they can be allowed to work from home that day? Eventually, maybe they’ll realize they... — read more

Just from an ethical perspective. People who feel entitled to clean out the snack bins are demonstrating the quality of their character. It is like the wait staff test - how people treat wait staff is telling you a lot about who they are.

Lot of fake news on1K. Some say 4K. What is actual number? and why it was not disclosed?

Anyone could share reasonable requests that could ask to amend/appeal the terms of the severance? Much thanks.

is the 5 day RTO expected for the durham office? There's barely any space!

Specifically in tech? Cyber? Systems analyst? I've heard of a few but not sure if any specific team

I am one of the impacted associates . Was promoted earlier this year then suddenly let go. Two weeks later, I’m still stuck in my room dealing with constant depression and anxiety. How is everyone else coping with the sudden change . I clearly... — read more 

Is the role change only for higher level positions. ? How about the dev team and testing QA team. Even there is a role change for them..

I’m still hearing that there will be another round of layoff in June end or July. And heard this time, reducing the contractors because of larger teams.. anyone heard of this and is it real ???

Although working for family-owned businesses run by their owners has some advantages, the biggest challenge is that no one can challenge the owners’ decisions. What AJ says goes. nobody can say no.

for a January hire, when exactly does the last 40% vest? is the June before, after the new year, or after you reach the actual mid-jan work anniversary?

funny how hard they would push them and now they've been quiet about it for almost a full year

Anyone from ireland here? Were u guys affected by the layoffs?

Sorry to everyone who was affected by the recent cuts. Quick question ,how long were u given to find another role within Fidelity?

Let us lay our pitchforks down for a second against one another. It was never the same after all that. It was never that serious either. The guy sent a few salacious texts, gets BOOTED from the firm and we all got punished for his indiscretions... — read more 

These days, it's fashionable not even to attempt retaining talent. Cost-cutting is the go-to strategy for propping up the share price and securing leadership bonuses. In the long term, they're cutting the branch they're sitting on. I'm not sure any... — read more
