Just from an ethical perspective. People who feel entitled to clean out the snack bins are demonstrating the quality of their character. It is like the wait staff test - how people treat wait staff is telling you a lot about who they are.

Lot of fake news on1K. Some say 4K. What is actual number? and why it was not disclosed?

Anyone could share reasonable requests that could ask to amend/appeal the terms of the severance? Much thanks.

is the 5 day RTO expected for the durham office? There's barely any space!

Is the role change only for higher level positions. ? How about the dev team and testing QA team. Even there is a role change for them..

I’m still hearing that there will be another round of layoff in June end or July. And heard this time, reducing the contractors because of larger teams.. anyone heard of this and is it real ???

Although working for family-owned businesses run by their owners has some advantages, the biggest challenge is that no one can challenge the owners’ decisions. What AJ says goes. nobody can say no.

The Covid hired managers (not talking about race, just those who can’t keep up and were obnoxious while they had the Covid protections) have been so stressed in the office. It’s been too long for them to still be stressed from the RTO announcement... — read more

for a January hire, when exactly does the last 40% vest? is the June before, after the new year, or after you reach the actual mid-jan work anniversary?

funny how hard they would push them and now they've been quiet about it for almost a full year

Anyone from ireland here? Were u guys affected by the layoffs?

Sorry to everyone who was affected by the recent cuts. Quick question ,how long were u given to find another role within Fidelity?

Let us lay our pitchforks down for a second against one another. It was never the same after all that. It was never that serious either. The guy sent a few salacious texts, gets BOOTED from the firm and we all got punished for his indiscretions... — read more

Managers don't care about their teams, they just assign work at the last minute and nitpick every little thing. Employee engagement is basically nonexistent, and we've got layers of middle managers who contribute nothing. The disconnect between our... — read more

Anyone consulting or thinking of consulting legal counsel to review the separation agreement? Anyone already have done so and could share any potential areas of concern within the terms, etc?

Cheaper workers, offshoring, AI - whatever works. If they could charge us for the privilege of working here, they would.
