Is it really this bad?

The lack of major layoffs is for paramount employees. WB will be decimated. There are few jobs here that is not completely redundant at paramount. WB should have bought paramount not the other way around. To the victor belong the spoils.

Now that the finish line is getting closer, do we think this is true?


The Whole Game is Sc--wed

We’ve angered and alienated the older workforce, which incentivized them to not give a flying f about knowledge sharing and transfer with younger workers.

The younger workers have no hope or real path forward outside of nepotism and generational wealth that boosts them up despite the sh-t we’re all sinking in.

The rich get richer and the AI/offshoring effort booms…


Is it just me?

Well, just wondering what else folks think..

Jack_Attack! has like zero charisma.. Like 0. After a few meetings seems like we hired a dud, like dud dud. Anyone else have thoughts? I just don't feel any enthusiasm or like this guy could usher everyone into a life raft on a sinking ship if his life depended on it.

At least re-Joyce loved Schitzcreek! <---- but she was still a cheerleader, and a dud.


Employee Tracking Software

Based on recent media coverage of Meta tracking laptop activity and taking screenshots to train the AI to replace the people it is tracking, does anyone know of this sort of thing in Dell?

Seems our colleagues in Europe can ask under law and be told but not sure if anyone would or has done this.

Any confirmation of this in any region or BU?

I’m not looking for comments that are jumping to conclusions or making guesses based on feelings. Any real info out there?


Leadership is incapable of feeling shame

Fidelity's leaders should be ashamed but that would require them to be able to feel shame. Ned must be rolling around in his grave, rest in peace. I didn't agree with everything he did but he never showed the lack of respect for employees that we see today.

So much this! Reposting from @a6+1krerh6ct for being 100% correct.


Where my energy goes now

I used to stay late, work through breaks, and constantly push harder thinking it would eventually lead somewhere. All it really did was convince management I could handle even more work without getting anything back for it. These days I save my time and energy for my actual life instead of pouring everything into a company that barely notices.


Is this a joke?

We made the Top 20 on Forbes' America’s Best Employers For Company Culture 2026. Company culture??? Who makes these lists? Are they paid for?

I can't figure out any other way for this to have happened. Anybody working here knows that culture has deteriorated so much over the years that it's now unrecognizable. What once was friendly environment is now incredibly toxic. And it makes No. 17 for culture? WTF???


Embarassing

Watched the SAP Sapphire keynote. Embarrassing.

Speaker after speaker, palpable stage fright. Forced enthusiasm, unnatural pauses, reading slides like middle school presentations. You'd think a $30B+ company would invest in actual public speaking coaches, not just PowerPoint designers.

How you say it matters more than what you say. Every awkward "game-changing!" inflection ki-ls credibility faster than a missed quarterly target. Audiences aren't stupid. We see the anxiety. We feel the disconnect.
This wasn't visionary leadership. It was a $500k production budget wasted on executives who can't connect human-to-human.

Fire the presentation trainers. Hire actual speech coaches.
SAP sells trust at enterprise scale. Start with your keynotes.


Perspective of a new graduate

I’m still new to ExxonMobil but I don’t know how our leaders think the actions they are taking don’t hurt our long term value. Short termism is very visible. The way good people are being treated is cruel and does not make us younger gen want to stay around. All of the people who want to teach us are leaving and I don’t many the ready to retire but the people who have been around for 10-20years are leaving and the gap is becoming more and more obvious with no one replacing them with the work being outsourced to India.

Then let’s go to the system and process. They just don’t work anymore. Any new system or software su-ks. career connect doesn’t work, D&S is even more opaque (maybe yet again the plan) and we’ve outsourced our pay, vacation.. basically everything with no accountability to fix or own any issues.

The foundation is sinking and it’s just getting worst. I’m leaving as soon as I can but investors and shareholders should be worried. DWW is feathering his nest for retirement but our stock will be impacted by the short term actions that will impact long term value


Is it just me or…

Anyone else notice the fear based culture here? It’s like no matter how great you’re doing, you always feel afraid? Upper leadership uses intimidation and publicly humiliates people on calls for performance. It’s strange to me. Maybe it’s normal but it always feels nerve racking.


Enron 2.0

The amount of fraud and slamming and bundling that goes on is a shame. How has the whistle not been blown on this place. We keep the collection agencies in business with the amount of written off accounts I see. This place and the 3rd party sc-mbag agents have no integrity whatsoever.


The layoff set me free

When I got the news that I was being laid off a few months ago, I expected to be devastated. Instead, I felt a wave of relief. Dell has been a mess for too long and I hated my job for far too long. I don't know if I got lucky or the job market is not that bad, but I had a new role within two months. Smaller company and much better culture. Just wanted to say, it's not all bad.


What the name used to mean

I've been here long enough to remember when the AT&T name actually meant something. People respected this company. Employees were proud to work here. That's gone now. The culture is different, the leadership is different, the way they treat us is different. The only thing that's the same is the name on the door. Don't defend this place based on what it once was. Judge it for what it is now.


Post on Glassdoor

If you are disappointed with Fidelity then don't limit your posts to a hidden forum like TheLayoff. Go to Glassdoor or other more public review sites and share your experiences there. Yes Fidelity can and does game the system but even a few negative reviews can help someone avoid a mistake and maybe bring the score closer to where it belongs.
