I took a job here thinking it’d be one thing, but turns out it’s a whole different story. The vibe, the workload, the actual work - none of it matches what was promised. I hate how tough it's to know what you’re walking into before you end up stuck in it. Wish there were a way to see the real deal before signing on.

Such entitlement. Go to work and stop complaining. You work for a great company.
Post from TheLayoff.com. Maybe not. Maybe that is just a perception. Perhaps our fate is predetermined.
I hate how nasty people are in this company these days. The negative comments are all from the people who have benefited from the “Fidelity game” and are a part of propagating the mediocrity and self interest that this culture promotes. I am sorry you have been disappointed. Try not to react quickly as there are some good pockets in this company and the company supports mobility.
Maybe the OP is referring to the situation where you accept a job in which you will be responsible for completing A,B & C for X amount of dollars. Once you're in the position the workload increases to include not only A, B & C but now D,E & F but yet the X amount of dollars you agreed to originally based on the initial role responsibilities has not increased to match the extra workload. Unfortunately, the employers have the upper hand in which if you don't like it there's the door. It's a shame that most companies senior execs are more concerned about lining their own pockets rather than saying this is not right or fair, we're asking more of our employees so we need to adjust their compensation accordingly. Instead, the name of the game is keep overhead expenses as cheap as possible to maximize profits for bigger exec payouts. It's a shame but it's the world in which we live in- I think about Andrew Carnegie and how here he was the richest man and yet did everything to pay his employees the least possible which resulted in the creation of a union. All that was completely unnecessary as he could have been the highest paying employer causing more loyalty, less turnover and always having a stream of workers wanting to get on with Carnegie. He still would have been the richest person. Fidelity is nothing like Carnegie steel was but still here you have a multibillionaire CEO not even giving employees a cost of living increase and bragging about how profitable the company is. Maybe that's why no pulse survey, ignore the truth.
You have free will. How are you 'stuck'?
Oh wah 😩 poor you
