I don't like my job, I don't like my manager, I don't even like my coworkers. I'm just too scared to leave knowing the job market is what it is. The sad fact is, I know several more people who are in the same boat as I am. What does it say about this place when so many employees would run if only given a chance?

@2gw "Funny - I love my job and co-workers and have had huge success at Fidelity. Wonder if I’m happy because of success or successful because I have always been happy and motivated. Think about it because with your attitudes there is no way you can be successful."
Who ever wrote this on June 20 can just eat a bag of di-ks . You are not going to teach any lessons here . What you're saying is not wrong but your "insight" is not helping . You're of no influence in this thread and I am sure your of no influence at Fidelity .
@3dn holy sh-t. The website changed the first part of that message for me. Johnson klan runs the site I guess. Someone who isnt me SWIM get paid about middle of the road. SWIM is also extremely customer facing. SWIM is basically like a market spy rofl Ambivalent to the entire career path at this firm. SWIM daytrades. Success IS a mindset, not an outcome. That is true. But...this is all SWIMs opinion. Not my own. Cheers and stay safe
@2gw let me guess- not customer facing, very well compensated?

This is the mental state of the average middle class employed American lol
Same! I have never been on a team where I don’t like anyone, but my manager is constantly pitting people against each other. I don’t think she’s a skilled politics gamer, I think she just drinks and watches tv too much and is out of touch with reality. She embarrassed herself all the time by acting like she’s on a tv show.
I’m in the same boat. Oh how much I wish I find a job in this rough job market.
Agreed with the op
I was in the same situation. I was age 52 and hoping for a buyout. Then my manager wanted to try to put me on some f-n PIP. I had invested in mostly index funds for my entire life and lived below my means. I fired my manager, never to ever report to any office again. Think about it, my manager and my manager's manager ad infinitum has to go into work every weekday and I don't, ever again! Live below your means, invest like your life depends upon it. Because, one day it will.
The only thing keeping me going is helping the folks calling in with their emergencies. At least that can be rewarding sometimes
The bare minimum in my job is still having way too much work and scrambling to finish each day. I wish I could do that.
Don't be scared, homie!
Do what you should do: give bare minimum and nothing more, collect your paycheck and carry on. All employers at a certain point is going to be like what you experience here.
