Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

Age?

This comment from a Fidelity spokesperson gives me pause and makes me wonder what the median age of those impact by the RIF is.

I’m 52 and was laid off last week. If you were laid off, share your age below.

“These changes are about getting the right combination of skills in place for where Fidelity is headed, including creating more room for early-career, hands-on engineering roles and streamlining senior leadership layers,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. https://www.masslive.com/business/2026/05/fidelity-to-lay-off-800-workers-but-hire-thousands-more.html

@e2 They do tend to be older, senior management, non-technical, and expensive.

@dh, your lack of common sense and ability to deep dive is appauling. Look for the information in your own severance package PDFs and realize that the data provided to you is only a fraction of the whole.

If you were laid off and you’ve read through your severance package, you don’t need to ask people their ages… all those impacted (title, level and age) are listed in the last section.
