It was to go RTO full time.
You cannot go half a decade and blow it up like that.
It’s a cauldron of bad mojo and stupidity sprinkled with greed.
Bad corporate decision made my dei and fools.

For someone constantly whining about noise @yv sure does make a lot of it. First they give an incorrect statement to OP then when proven wrong they claim it's not on topic then when proven wrong again they claim it's all noise. @wx and @hn are right, nothing but insults and gaslighting from this fool. Seriously go touch some grass, the adults are trying to have a conversation.
@yv do everyone a favor and go away
@b0 of course it's an attrition move! Anyone who has worked in corporate America with a brain would realize this. But thanks capt obvious. This thread is ridiculous. Bringing up the fact that some had a hybrid schedule prior to Covid is noise. Fido used to have pensions for employees too - should we start talking about the unfairness of that like it will magically come back if we do? Stop just stop
@hn exactly! They can't give a single good reason for the decisions being made and turn to insults or gaslighting or straw man.
@rp you must be the same dummy trolling other posts. OP posted about Fid forcing RTO. The very first reply to OP was claiming Fid didn't have hybrid before Covid. Others responded showing that wasn't true. Not that hard to follow.
@jf how is this even relevant? So what? Everyone back 5 days a week. That's the plan. Stop reminiscing
@j6 I was part of a desk share program, signed off forms by HR and everything because our building was above capacity. I only went to the office 2 days a week pre covid.
Echoing others to say Fidelity was rolling out hybrid long before Covid. Anyone claiming hybrid only happened after Covid is full of it. I was hired in 2016 and my whole org was working 1 or more days a week from home.
Notice the bootlickers can't give a single good reason for RTO or the layoffs or any of the other stupid choices other than dear leader said so. Complaining about whining when they're the biggest whiners on here going on and on defending decisions that hurt all of us. I'd pity someone with such a lack of self respect and critical thinking skills if they weren't also a huge pr!ck.
(Not) Funny how there’s a major traffic incident in west lake causing an hour back up and they are telling people to “seek alternate routes” rather than work from home since that should be the contingency. They don’t care if Fidelity traffic adds to the local problem.
Omg, they’re making me go to work in an office building. Grow the f up!
you're free to leave...
No they won’t realize anything. They’ll just pop popcorn and watch people suffer is all they’ll do.
Groups in MMK went forced hybrid in 2008 bc of space and forced desk sharing, then in 2009 offered full remote for anyone wanted it. It coincided with FMRI and global teams within BUs there.
This whole theory that hybrid was only since covid, or remote was only because of covid is so disingenuous. It may not have been every group prior to 2020, but it was definitely more the rule than the exception
@a9, no it wasn’t. I was here for a bit before lockdown and it was very flexible. In fact in the past 10-15 years, I only had one fairly brief job that required being in the office all day every day, and that seemed restrictive and odd.
Several years before Covid they were pushing hoteling. This has to be an attrition move because they don't want to pay out severance. They aren't going to get rid of us easily without giving us severance.
@OP Then leave
I was hybrid 1-2 days a week for 5 years before COVID. Yeah I'd like to go back to how things were before. Not whatever this is. This was not how it was before, for many people.
@a9 huh? Hybrid working existed years before COVID. They were actually rolling it out to more teams (Ops) in 2017.
This is a push for attrition, period. They want people to leave while avoiding negative press.
no...they won't. THis was how it was before covid. You were probably a baby back then.
