Is it legal for a company of this size to refuse to disclose employee expectations? They say, “Talk to your manager for details about RTO regarding flexibility” and the managers say, “Sorry, we’re not permitted to grant exceptions.” They are playing games with people’s livelihoods never mind causing widespread anxiety and stress. There must be a law which says they must disclose and be clear about what is expected of employees.

Managers are not withholding information, they are not getting it from HR.
It boils down to them not wanting people doing the absolute minimum.
You are a salaried employee, put your adult pants on and go to work. Prior to 2020 it seemed like the basics of having a job and now it seems everyone is whining about going to work. Quit or go to the office - you pick. That is freedom, you have control
Something something at will combined with a bad job market means they can do whatever they want.
@af ya they are letting people work from the other sites because the reporting isn’t getting specific enough. They are only looking to see badge swipes they don’t care what site. That’s not really an exception to work from home if they are coming in and getting the almighty badge swipes. The people with exceptions to work from home have something like the state + “Other” in their location. There’s like 500 people with that in Mass. If anything, those people would be scrutinized if Fidelity cared about being fair. They might be client facing but I can imagine where they slowly start telling them that they need to come in because we can’t have nice things and someone will complain and it become a thing where no one has the exception.
You know the expectations! Go to work and do your frickin job!! If you don’t like it then QUIT!!
I know half dozen people with exceptions. Most being get to work from NH or RI office versus commuting to Boston. Dont ask dont tell. Technically they are in the office.
You think the grade of flesh eating lawyers that Fidelity can pay for haven't covered their corporate as--s?
The expectation is full RTO. Unfortunately , all the extra "expectations" you're referring to are entirely at Fidelity's discretion.
