While the culture is terrible, one thing the bank does offer is the Skills Academy. This is a huge opportunity to gather and learn new skills for your next opportunity. Not many companies offer this type or level of learning. Take advantage of this while you are here. It’s a huge advantage to add these skills to your resume. Especially any AI courses you can take advantage of. Times are tough, jobs are scarce. Take advantage of what you can. Skills you learn here are transferable. Take advantage!!!

Does this include functions like Change Management, Learning & Development, Portfolio, etc?

For those who worked through the late 1990, what's one thing you're glad younger folks won't have to put up with?

I remember printing out hundreds of pages just to review a document and having to track changes by hand with a pen. The paper cuts alone were brutal. What other dinosaur era work habits are you happy died off?

The market is rough if your skills aren't current. That's just the truth.

There is a fundamental disconnect between Dan’s stated ambition around AI-led transformation and the behavior being driven by current leadership.

Leaders are not just failing to prioritize upskilling—they are actively deprioritizing and, in many cases, dismissing learning initiatives as non-essential.
Immediate operational demands are consistently positioned above capability building, effectively preventing employees from investing in AI and future-ready skills.

I want to provide this feedback. Where can I provide that?

Do your best, always. Still, the reality is that the days of staying in one position for 20 years, earning steady raises, and feeling protected from RIF conversations are gone.

For those who are hurting, it makes sense. You invested a lot of yourself. But it’s also a moment to reflect, especially when younger generations have often been labeled as less committed or less invested. When they were just more optimized. You should have been learning from them.

This is the reality of 2026. Nothing work related is special about any of us.

My heart goes out to those who are out of work. There is something here for all of us to learn.

I know a lot of people that thought it was a waste of time with a complete random set of videos to watch. No fundaments or structure to really build a knowledge base.
I'm guessing Shan picked each and every one of them.

Whats everyone putting for theirs? Does learning how to use Grok to make deep fakes of our dear leaders count as AI training?

Anyone using EDX/UDEMY to "skill up"? What courses are you considering or have started already?

I am in my early thirties and have been here long enough to see how fast things shift. FIDO still opens doors when recruiters scan a resume, but that window feels smaller each year. I am focusing on learning what I can and staying realistic about how long the shine lasts.

Got a real question, need clarification on something? Leave it here, no bullsh-t in this thread. Let's start something productive.

Looks like at minimum, 2 Leap technical coaches were let go. As a former Leap Alumni, this is sad to see happen to the program that gave me my one way ticket into tech.

Does anyone know what’s going on with the Leap program? Have Leap alumni performances been improving? How much Leap alumni have been retained after an 5/10 year period? Is Fidelity hiring less Leap associates? Is Fidelity restructuring the learning criteria of Leap?

I, along with other Leap alumni, may have many more questions.

I stopped obsessing over salary and focused on finding something that actually interested me and let me grow my skills. Starting over isn’t easy, and I knew that going in, but the constant stress disappeared almost immediately. I’m learning new things, branching out in my field, and not dreading every workday. That alone has made the move worth it. It’s been a real breath of fresh air.

Ford needs to learn from Tesla manufacturing systems. Not to rely on suppliers for critical parts and components.

Adding another Shankar thread ..

Why is he still around? Have we not learned any lesson ?

Same news as others posted.

Is just Gemini, lol

Learning about AI cameras from VIVA Engage. Does your plant have them? What do they do?

Use your time to learn and get education. You have over 10k per year in Tuition reimbursement. Start using them the day you are eligible. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

L and D is posting on various platforms stating what a huge success the Month of Learning was.
No it wasn’t, it was the same failure it’s always been since the new group of leaders took over.
Everyone I’ve talked to says they didn’t get anything out of it.
They’re trying too hard to convince, I don’t know somebody, maybe even themselves, that they are really performing a good service to the employees.

What happens if you are laid off while enrolled in one of those Guilded Learning programs paid by Target? Will they still pay for the course?

I’ve seen plenty of people give up on training because they think it won’t change anything. But every course and new skill has opened doors I never expected. Staying sharp keeps you ready when better roles come around, even if it takes a while. I know most of us are worried about layoffs and don't see a point, but this can only help in the long run.

I have to say that I didn’t get much out of the L and D Month of Learning, a little but not a lot for the amount of effort they put into it.It seems that group was better a few years ago.

Is it worth learning a new skill that will get outdated in just for a year or two- certainly not worth the time,money, and health.
Shareholders are prospering while staff are ending in hospitals.
