It should be coming in either Monday or Tuesday.

You've all long been overpaid at Fido for a long time. Blackrock robo-investing. Writing on the wall. This is the future. You've had more stability than anybody else in any other industry in the Boston area I know already. Before you start flaming... — read more 

Heads up if you've ever fudged on your expense report or any of the reimbursement programs. About a hundred people were pulled this week from investigations over wrongful reimbursements. It's definitely a wrong thing to do but those who were licensed... — read more 

Yes definately more coming in October and then more in Q1. Face it, Vanguard has 6000 employees and Fidelity has 50000. Who is getting all the new money? I agree -rip off the band aid and get it over with quickly but hard to do with stocks at all... — read more 

This is becoming unbearable. With yesterday's layoffs, it's clear that we have no idea when or where they are going to hit next. No announcement, no preparation, nothing. And they make sure to do it in small increments, so that blowback is minimal... — read more 

since the smaller than expected RIF last month the rumor has been more cuts in the fall in the September timeframe. Just confirmed one admin type layoff this morning in Smithfield, and word is more are afoot. What are y'all experiencing today?

What if fidelity traders and phone reps went on strike how amazing would that be. Imagine all the pins that would be blocked and all the quotes that would go ungiven.

The most recent cuts are perhaps the most nauseating. How does the company gain anything by cutting a reliable employee making say 55-60k base with a unknown commodity making 45k? These were the kind of cuts that were made all throughout the regional... — read more 

Hearing rumors of another buyout for 50 and over. Have no idea if this is true. Has anyone heard anything?

The problem with Fidelity is that it bloats itself over the years and then cuts core job functions trying to fix the bloat, which leads to downstream chaos. It really should use the last in first out method because the people added since the last... — read more 

Anyone have the number for the Chairman's Line? It's an anonymous employee relations phone number.

Heard there were 11 PMs released today. Can anyone confirm?

I am sure that several hundred people who were laid off at the time the company is doing well also feel safe now that they can't provide for themselves or their family. /rant... — read more 

I have it on good authority that the Fidelity survey about the work environment is used to weed out the negative people in the company. If you give a VERY negative survey, then you will be given a bad review and you will be "laid off" at the first... — read more 

Just talking points pretending this didn't happen. No reassurances or anything to boost morale. Very disappointing. There's a dark cloud hanging over this company. I've never felt less in control of my destiny.

This was completely cost saving. From the roles that only had a person or two eliminated from each site, like phone supervisors, all of the chosen individuals were the longest tenured and therefore highest paid, some maxed out for the salary bracket... — read more 

Been there 5 years. Don't trust the company, managers, directors, VPs, and CEO further than I could throw them. There is definitely a reason why the annual survey has not been given. I just want to work, earn a fair compensation, help people, and go... — read more

Is there any word on the total number of employees that were laid off?

In your opinion... Was this "job action" layoff more focused on specific individuals & small teams or more designed to cut costs for Fidelity? What do you think?

DealBreaker has a brief layoffs coverage piece that just got published - the link is below: According to Axios’ Dan Primack, Fidelity Investments has laid off “hundreds of employees” today. While it’s a bit weird to see this news on the heels of... — read more 

I would love to hear a valid explanation behind the need for layoffs. If you survived today, do you trust Fidelity?

9 people let go today Pra, pas, rrm, directors, sps, exec secretary

Not over yet, 2 SVPs confirmed today that there will be another RIF in October and it will be a large impact to the org.

Link below, here is the first piece that got published about 30 min ago... Fidelity Investments on Tuesday laid off hundreds of employees, Axios has learned. This comes just months after the Boston-based firm offered voluntary buyouts to 3,000... — read more 

I used to work for CKSI, I hear they are impacted today - this is a bummer as it's a fine and very professional group.

Any word on any branch layoffs?

5 laid off so far in Westlake that I know of.

As of 11:30, nothing has taken place here in our Denver site.

So all of these people are being laid off and there is nothing in the news at 12:33? Seems a little strange to me.

Post today's layoff updates here!

Fidelity has become a company that has increasingly shown that the customer facing employees do not matter to them. The instructions when even dealing with customers who have a lot of money with them is to deal with them as quickly as possible so... — read more 

Not cool at all! Anyone? Can I have my stuff restored? Also, cannot post from my phone any more? Am I blacklisted now??????

I am close friends with four front-line managers (two in PI and two in WI) and am 100% certain that they have not been officially told by their respective director if layoffs will occur and who on their team is impacted. My understanding is each... — read more 

Just heard from a very reputable source that they are closing Denver all together and the previously mentioned PAS folk.
