Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

Stop being someone worth letting go of.

None of us were ever promised or even hinted at being given any form of loyalty. You were PAID to do a JOB.. Given money in exchange for your time and services, with the expectation of providing a predetermined outcome to the organization.

You can (and SHOULD) be let go of at any time and place that they see fit. If the organization decides that your services are no longer beneficial or in THEIR best interest (not your best interest), then letting you go is the ONLY move they can or should make. Be HAPPY and GRATEFUL that they were so GENEROUS, they went above and beyond the AGREED upon contractual obligations by providing you with EXTRA monetary compensation and even in offering post-employment transitional support.. things that do not benefit them in any capacity. Instead, these things actually create unnecessary costs and responsibilities, per each person that gets let go, just to “help” the same people that end up shiing all over it. They dont owe you anything that you didnt already agree to, stop being so annoying and bihing about being dropped. They calculated that youre role was dead weight, or was costing them more than it was providing. Emotions arent at play here.

Sorry, I had to get this off, some of yall are pathetic. Confidently acting like a teenage ex girlfriend that has abandonment issues and extreme chemical imbalances in the brain. You were never given or told anything to incite a reasonable expectation of loyalty, it has always been their money for your time and services. Be happy they did more than they were required to, and go find somewhere that you can actually provide value with your expertise.. instead of soaking up all the pitty party bath water in an online forum. This is the stuff that employers look for in someone to tell them NOT to hire you.

We are losing some very smart people who got caught in cycles of reorgs and failed to see or somehow silently became complicit in the inefficiency of their orgs. Many of these people would be great fit in a different part of fidelity but most likely they aren’t going to stay around. A lot of senior leaders who are responsible for this mess are still around and I hope at some point they get kicked out as well

@c2 , my sense is that the post was dictated to the lapdog by the one in whose lap they/them sit.

@OP has so much of that brain damage they keep going on about that they forgot they were the OP and responded to their own post with a rehash of their own post.

@OP

I have seen some massive bootlickers in my day but you've set a new standard! You really should teach a class.

I'm sure executive "leadership" really appreciates having a little lapdog, barking meekly at anyone who dares to dissent.

Good boy! Someone is getting an extra treat today...

None of us ever promised a company loyalty. THEY were paying for a JOB to get done. They were given our time, skills, labor, experience, creativity, stress tolerance, and years of our lives in exchange for a paycheck, with the expectation that we would provide a predetermined outcome for the organization.

And THEY should be grateful we chose to give them that value.

Employees can (and SHOULD) leave at any time and place they see fit. If an employee decides that a company is no longer beneficial or in THEIR best interest — not the company’s best interest — then leaving is the ONLY move they can or should make. Be HAPPY and GRATEFUL they stayed as long as they did, especially when so many employees go above and beyond what they’re actually paid for. Extra hours. Extra stress. Covering understaffing. Solving problems outside their job description. Carrying weak management. Training new hires. Being available after hours. Things that often benefit the company far more than the employee.

Companies aren’t owed anything beyond the agreed exchange of labor for compensation, so stop acting entitled when employees quit, disengage, or move on. They calculated that the role, pay, culture, or leadership was no longer worth THEIR time. Emotions aren’t at play here, right?

Sorry, but some of y’all sound ridiculous. Confidently acting like a bitter ex when an employee is unhappy, leaves for better pay, better treatment, or better opportunities. You were never promised loyalty. It has always been their time and expertise in exchange for your money. Be grateful they provided value to your organization at all, and maybe focus on becoming a place talented people actually WANT to stay instead of crying online about “work ethic” every time someone decides they deserve better.

A very US way of seeing the world that will get mankind nowhere. Accumulation of richness at everyone else expense, no rules, no boundaries, the pure survival of the fittest.
