My manager and I do not get along. I have tried everything I can think of, but it’s not helping.
I want to ask to be moved to a different manager. Is this something I can request through hr? I don’t believe things can change with my manager and I’m no longer willing to find new ways to try to overcome this.
Learn to daytrade. Careers in this company dont pay enough as it is. Or work til you die. I mean both have their risks. But...idfk how you fid employees make it past 10 years at this firm hahaha circus work is more appealing. Use the firm to buy you time. Save numbers of clients that might be of use. No one cares. But you. Or maybe not. Who knows.
Look internally for positions you might be interested in. Note to your manager that you are applying for one and would like their assistance and aid in transition of your responsibilities.
HR is an absolute do not engage.
HR is for labor issues and they represent the firm. Unless you have an actual case against your manager, with evidence, and seek to remove them from the company, HR will do nothing unless it protects the company.
For the position, many managers are very reluctant to consider an employee who doesn't get along with their manager, regardless of the circumstances. And not informing your manager is a problem. The interviewing manager will contact your current boss and your current boss will be surprised and speak ill of you for that alone.
It's a bad set of circumstances. And not good for the health of the company.
Separately, do not start the process without an exit strategy. Be ready to be dismissed or constructively discharged or overworked. That means documenting everything offsite. Copies of emails, call recordings, contemporary notes. Anything that might be used to show actionable items for a complaint post termination, including positive reviews and feedback.
You are correct that the situation is irredeemable, and I say this knowing nothing other than what was written above. It's just a story I hear daily from both sides. As a people leader I am frustrated.
Good luck.
Even though HR can't move you, it's their job to lodge your complaints against your manager. When enough associates come forward complaining the same manager, it's HR's job to act on the pattern. So lodge a complaint with HR and find another job.
HR can’t just move you. You would need to find an open position, apply and be offered the role. I would do that.
I would say start documenting patterns . It’s not about the person it’s the Patterns .
If you have evidence dates / episodes it will be helpful someday if you choose to report .
Tried the ask HR to switch managers and was told not them. HR advised to talk to my Director. That got me no where. Good luck.
Do not, in any circumstances, go to HR. The second you are finished with your HR discussion, that very same HR rep will most likely go to your offending manager and inform them of everything you said. It is HR’s job to protect the interests of the company from lawsuits and bad press. Also be careful who you tell regarding your manager. Fidelity rewards snitches. Trust no one.
No, don’t do that.
What you can do is look for another job within Fidelity. Several people on my team successfully did that because they couldn’t work for our toxic manager.
Do not, I repeat, do not go to HR about your manager. It will only hurt you.
It isn’t likely HR will help you move or address anything with the manager. Your best bet is to brush up your resume to find something else.
Years ago my manager had four people leave the team in 24 hours and no one acknowledged he was the problem. Everyone else who had been there before him left as quickly as possible. Even when clients complained, they just made excuses. It is the Fidelity way.
