Heard it could be a tough promotion year, since we're already top heavy in the Director and VP roles. Bring on the VBO!
What are you hearing?

I don't want the VBO, keep on collecting a check each week and party hard on weekends. The best of both worlds. I love Fidelity.
Who needs VBO with such great job. I’m going to work till around 62. Could retire now but this job really is not hard and Fidelity is great place to work. Now that my money is making money each year just compounds my stack and is one less year in retirement. Start early and save and you can be a multimillionaire at this company by 55.
@ah Drifters?! Isn't that a 1950s singing group? LOL
My onion rash is making me cry.
Anyone expecting a next VBO is unrealistic. VBOs are very expensive for the company. There is no reason to incur those costs when they can do a RIF, let people go for not moving to colocate or get rid of people for complying with RTO - all of which are much cheaper.
Historically companies do not offer repeated VBOs. The smarter employee move is to plan for an earlier retirement or find another job as a bridge to retirement. Put yourself first rather than hoping for the company to take care of you.
The company is top heavy with people lingering around for the VBO.
My VP confided in me that she's hanging around for the next VBO. Many just like her.
VBO NOW! Let the dead wood and drifters go elsewhere!
I heard of tight promo cycle timewise, for example everything done in August for a specific role, which can be naturally explained by a performance based layoff in September.
