Fidelity is hiring 12k new jobs….but who is being pushed out? Now that VBOs over. Who is being selectively pushed out? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-28/fidelity-to-create-12-000-jobs-building-on-its-hiring-spree

I’ve heard rumors floating around VBO will be offered yearly beginning 2023. Has anyone else heard this?

I thought this was a business? How can someone with GLARING issues not lose their position? The cost in wasted time, money, poorly managed projects, lowered morale is just staggering.

I'm debating whether to resign precisely because of RTO. Unfortunately, Fido is not interested in gas prices or how much more we will spend on gas coming to the office. But an even bigger problem is that it's pointless, because most people are more... — read more 

How common is this type of he-l at Fido?

Get ready. The Silent Generation and Boomer executives are ready to start herding associates back to mandatory days in the office, because that's the only way they know how to manage and enforce their command and control. A$$hats. All of them.

I am a VBO employee, but have a younger friend that was hired at Fidelity about 2 years ago- he moved to a branch role about 5 months ago.. He has a new boss that came from the outside, and has been giving written and verbal warnings to reps since... — read more 

The burnout is real. As for morale... I personally have never been so demoralized before in my entire life.

With all due respect, but it is difficult to understand how some new hires came to positions that were once held by top experts. Does Fido have a problem finding qualified workers or is quality no longer as important as it used to be? It seems to... — read more 

“Fidelity following D&I at SVP and above level ?”

Fidelity grew a lot since Abby took over. But what happens when we enter a bear market? We’ve been in a bull market the past decade.

Rumor mill says Fidelity to lay off workers in China and India due to those countries support of Russia. Expected to close some shops and concentrate remaining workers to single location.

Managers want to be called leaders, but they're not leaders. My manager is a d-mb mba with no management experience and a coasting attitude.

It used to be that most people were anxious at every rumor about layoffs. Now it seems to me that most are hoping to be laid off.

What do you think? Recession? Layoffs? Both?

Here it seems best to always hold back your opinion. So that my superior would not accidentally think that I was disagreeing with him, I resort more and more to not expressing my opinion at all. Being too opinionated at Fido can mean the loss of a... — read more 

Anyone notice this problem? Work in agile squad and the IT team - there is one or two very smart ones and the rest have zero critical thinking skills

How are you feeling? What are you realistically going to do when they announce a requirement to go back? Do you know people who have left for fully remote?

Is Fidelity becoming single gender - men only company?

The level of micromanagement at Fidelity is getting to a point where it's no longer worth it to go through the stress. I know this is not just my team, I've been hearing people throughout the company complain about this. I know how to do my job. I've... — read more 

Fidelity sinking? Hard to retain people? Why?

I feel she is. She strikes me as a person stuck to traditions. Notice how her title is still "chairman." Does anyone want to go back to the office to deal with hour long commutes and the chance of bringing home the virus? A new variant is spreading... — read more 

Yes, Fido needs innovation, but I wonder how much time will pass before the leadership realizes this. I believe that I will be long gone when the leadership finally decides to let in some fresh air. Isn't it high time for Fido to turn to the... — read more 

I’m not saying I’m the best employee ever, but it’s noticeable that Fido is slowly becoming a place for mediocrity. There are more and more mediocrities here who could never get a job here in the past. What's the problem? It’s amazing to me that... — read more
