I remember one of her daughters was always ending up as the “random” associate photo on fidelity central without it being mentioned. And the year she graduated from college Abby pioneered a new program, what a coincidence. Where graduates fresh out of ivy league schools could go through a quick rotation of various jobs at the firm to work their way up. What a coincidence. Not.
Who would want to be? The mistakes the company is making now in how they treat the people who've been trying to modernize a company that is now trying hard to set the Wayback to 1980 means that the chances Fidelity is already dead in the water but surviving on the past not the future... until the money runs out. Then it's be TD/Ameritrade/Fidelity or Edward Jones/Fidelity or BankAmerica/Fidelity. If I were in the Johnson family, I'd take my share of the pot, and find a nice quiet life for myself and never look back at this pit of despair. Abby Johnson will get exactly what she's asking for: a forced alignment of the employee culture to her fixed idea of what the company is who works there until there is no there to work in. The way leadership is treating the people in the company makes as much sense at the Maginot Line and it will be even less effective.
Hoenstly with all the execs bashing her all the time, why is she still able to be employed? Obviously she isn’t good at her job if she can’t manage internal marketing. She looks like such a joke now
I worked with her daughters, I don’t think the kids are in it for the long term.
Two of her children already work at the firm. You may have been in meetings with them and never known.
She'll work until she dies. She's 62 and doesn't have any apparent health issues so she might be leading Fidelity for another 20 years, for better or ill.
She wont retire anytime soon that one
Probably her daughter who works at Fidelity
