Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

Why

Why are we letting leadership make unilateral decisions without pushback? The push for full-time office work feels unreasonable and out of touch with what many of us actually need to do our jobs well.

It seems like a culture of fear has been created where people don’t feel comfortable speaking up, so whatever is decided just goes unchallenged. Is there a way for us to collectively raise concerns or push back in a constructive way

@cn unless you work for one of the names that signed with Abby, chances are your Gen X or Millenial boss also doesn't want to be there.

You can book a conference room and hold a sit-in protest. Ask one of your former hippie boomer co-workers on how to fight back against 'the man'

Exactly, it’s called At-Will employment.

They forget that we are also investors. The second I find another job I am transferring my money elsewhere.

Not trying to be harsh but “they” (people most of us will never meet in person) DO NOT CARE about you at all. Cut costs, cut costs, cut costs.

Someone in my group scored World Cup tickets miraculously and his vacation request was DENIED. Imagine? Because a few other people are out. No exception could be made? It’s literally malevolent.

I understand your sentiments but don’t think employees have choice here . This is at will employment on both sides and not elected government decisions that you can push back

It seems you don’t understand that you are paid to work on your employers terms. It’s not a democracy. You should be an entrepreneur if you want to make your own rules. It sounds like you should consider working elsewhere.

I get where you’re coming from but what can we possibly do? It is an employer’s market. The job market is really bad and we all have bills and kids. They know they can do this and they can get away with it.
