Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

Mid-life crisis

Thanks to shares and bonus, my Box 5 comp went up over 50% last year. Yet, I still want to escape. wtf is wrong with me? Am I a spoiled little sh-t or what?

My CL says the job market is bad right now. I've been at Fidelity a long time and feel anxiety about my comfort zone being so narrow. Especially in light of the pending org changes. I don't have a graduate degree. I am young-ish and nearly saved $1mm nw thanks to this place. I am spending exorbitant time outside working hours to secure my financial future but the pressure is about to make me crack.

I feel like i would be totally lost if I quit or got layoff. But some days, I feel tempted to say phuket and make a scene at the office....

I’m so unmotivated right now. I don’t think I will ever be motivated to do anything above and beyond again. SP is good enough for me. I don’t know how they think this is good for the company long term. I’m going to be looking for a new job everyday and hopefully get one before September. I would take a 100k pay cut just for my own sanity.

I feel exactly the same. It's like being in a pressure cooker.
