Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

This is a twofold issue.

They took away our precovid lives where we had fun going into the office we had colleagues to associate with and life was normal.
They forced us home locked us in and then wonder why we’re adverse to going in after we have proven we are extremely productive wfh. So they created this mammoth paradigm shift and get huffy when we push going back. Going into an office every week every day is so 1980’s the big corps started planning for pandemic scenarios they got what they wanted and forgot they had massive real estate holdings and empty offices.
No you don’t get to keep changing the rules. We’ve adapted and we like autonomy not slogging in with ridiculous traffic and gasoline at $5
This is the modern office HYBRID!

I know plenty of people who were going in 1 day a week before covid. Other teams 2 or 3. It was flexible too. You picked it, you could switch it, no one cared.
This really su-ks.

Pre covid I worked remote 3 days a week as part of a desk share program, HR approved. So before covid I went to office twice a week, now post covid its every day?

No thanks. I hope they're ready to lose all the valuable technologists than will have no issue getting a remote role elsewhere for probably higher pay. Just in time for all new hires to have zero depth of knowledge because of AI reliance.

I know they shifted my thoughts of wondering "if" I leave fidelity, to wondering "when" I leave.

"and then wonder why we’re adverse to going in"

The word you're looking for is AVERSE. No need to thank me.
