Is FCAT impacted? Are tech teams in Boston impacted?

Do you think we’re more of a target for a layoff if we’re under five years? When u got hired it was a big deal Fidelity wanted us to stay on and it seemed they wanted us happy now I’m worried since I’m just a year a way from fully vested.

I keep thinking the day is coming (probably sooner rather than later) when they’ll cut that too, and layoffs will become ten times harder on people. Finding a new job already isn’t easy in this market, but having a solid safety net while you search... — read more

What happens to your shares if you get laid off? Do they pay you or not?

Did anyone from Talensource get let go?

People keep saying the cuts are done or will end soon. I've been here long enough to know they won't. This is just how we operate now.

Heard some G8 were force to take a pay cut and become G7 and if they didn't accept those terms. They're gone and would not even get the severance package.

We were first introduced to these ‘traveling’ resources when the Spotify model rolled through. Are they the ones leading the “next re-org” too? If not, were any of them impacted in this? Or are they the ones pushing the enablement lead lingo…

Been nixed here. They are so much into push push push never fast enough do more do more have less time to breathe. It’s awful lately I had great expectations for this career and each year gets more grueling and demoralizing. Add the RTO FT and... — read more

I can survive wave after wave of layoffs, RTOs, and offshoring to India as long as they let me rip darts on the front steps again

What do you predict/anticipate?

I know that probably sounds strange, but when layoffs actually surprised people, it meant they happened rarely enough that nobody was constantly expecting them. These days, layoffs feel so normal that there’s barely even shock anymore. We’re always... — read more

That's it, that's the question. Not sure where to look.

I am so confused and anxious... Is this layoff wave actually over? I went through every single thread and what I am seeing is conflicting. People around me including my manager are clueless, rumors and guessing. Here I see that some posters say all... — read more

It makes everything so much more stressful. Not that I expected them to care, but still.

How much time before will I get meeting invitation? From whom will I get the invitation? Will I loose access to teams and email instantly? Any insights on how should I predict I will be laid off with near 90% accuracy.
