Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

Forced relocation

Fidelity is forcing a team to relocate to the city centre, despite the existing office remaining open and the work being perfectly doable from there. Alongside reduced WFH, employees are facing significantly longer commutes for seemingly no good reason.

Why make life harder for employees when a perfectly reasonable alternative exists? Has anyone successfully challenged a forced relocation?

Has there been any word on what teams/BUs will be assigned where in Dublin?

@f6 Is there something special about that particular victim? Seems strange for this person to bring it up so much

@ez it's probably the same disturbed person who finds humor in people's suffering.
Allegedly, this is the location someone ended their life.

What about mandarin oriental? This is not the first time this reference has come up on these threads. Is that another fidelity office?

They may be shifting groups in preparation for RTO. Unfortunately I think we will be hearing this from more sites in the coming year.

Your contract almost certainly has flexibility in it to move your place of work. Go through it in fine detail.

HR will probably be very unsympathetic given that RTO in Dublin is currently only announced as half time. Fidelity would rather lose good people than show any flexibility right now.

I think the anti-employee shift being pushed has ruined the culture of Fidelity. I'm leaving in January to work somewhere better.
