Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

Managers are jokes

HR to managers - don’t bully reps into thinking they have to be here 100% of the connect weeks. The requirement is they have to be here 50% of the connect weeks.

Managers to people - per HR you need to be in the office 100% of the time or HR won’t give you a bonus.

HR to managers - no that’s literally what we told you NOT to do. Also don’t blame us.

HR to managers - let’s try this again, we’re going back to the office full time. No assigned seating.

Managers to reps - the higher powers of being decided they want all the sociology majors to quit so they don’t look bad by firing them. We’re working on a seating chart.

Months later

Managers to reps - ok we have your assigned seating come find where you will sit. Also remember there is officially “no assigned seating”. Just remember this is your desk and you cannot sit anywhere else.

@db count yourself lucky. They tried to have me talk to ER but my manager intervened. Lost the bonus but kept the job and no corrective action.

@OP This place is a dumpster fire with a PowerPoint deck.

“A$$es in seats” so people can Teams-call the person sitting 10 feet away.

If everyone’s on Zoom anyway, congratulations: you’ve reinvented working from home… with a commute.

Other companies embraced the future. This place is cosplaying the past and calling it strategy.

It’s the corporate equivalent of buying a first-gen cell phone to call the person standing next to you.

Failure is inevitable, and they’re scheduling it in Outlook.

I’m so glad I was laid off in may and got hired by a firm that doesn’t enforce in office time like North Korea. This sounds worse than elementary school lol
