Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

Connect Week Policy?

Most of my connect weeks, I rarely stay the whole day... I usually do half days and then leave when the office clears out. I work 12pm-11pm est and think it's ludicrous to be sitting on a floor with one other guy at 9pm lol.

I was just told by a friend at my office that his manager told his team you're not required to be in office if you work this shift, because half of the shift is when the office is technically closed. He said it's an actual policy but it's hush hush. Has anyone heard of anything like this? He has rarely gone into the office and has never heard anything of it. I have also never heard anything for usually leaving around 6-7pm est... knock on wood.

My manager is also very lax about the office requirement and just says to do what you can lol.

There would be absolutely no point in working in the office after normal business hours when the majority of employees have left for the day. Other than HR just being ignorant the whole point of working in the office was for face to face collaboration and casual collisions but mainly to justify Fidelity's overhead cost of the locations. As the older leadership generation retires and phases out I would bet more remote work will be introduced as companies will want to get leaner and advancements in AI will fill in a lot of gaps.
