Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

Pulse survey posts

I appreciate how some individuals are enthusiastic about pulse survey.

But let me break it down so you understand why having faith in Pulse survey is naive.

Anonymous or not, Fidelity does not want to hear the truth.

For the past two years, we saw huge decline in the pulse numbers.
Did it change anything? Absolutely not…

In fact people’s lives are made more miserable, especially with so many changes that followed after pulse survey:
With most notable being BME, reorganization, TrackIT and now colocation.

Don’t you think leaders already have a sense of reality????

They are the ones making these decisions of playing musical chairs with associates by moving their location from one region to another in coordination with the lovely “talented” HR team.

Nothing makes sense at all because it is not supposed to.

Fidelity has become one big matrix movie where as soon as the big brother notices the associate is now capable to handle everything the management is throwing at them and more while dealing with stress, anxiety, BME / Reorganization uncertainty lets add more fuel to fire by checking what happens when we ask them to relocate.

It’s a sad pathetic state of affairs. Seeing so many such similar posts on relocation and having asked same thing this morning is testament to the fact that nothing we do, say or wish with higher management will change anything.

There has to be a unique identifier in the survey link so that they can at least roll up results by BU. And so that they only count each employee’s responses once. It’s survey research, and they look at the results in aggregate but also by department and by things like tenure, salary grade, idk what else. I think if you wrote something really concerning in the text box, they could track you down, so maybe don’t rant about Indians or women or your manager by name. But you should take it and be honest.

Dude, it was a qualtrics survey. So, of course it isn't anonymous.

Notice that the campus has a ton more Indians on the payroll since coming back after COVID? You ever wonder why we have to do these stupid things like tracking? It's because you have Indians doing "data science" work. They don't know squat about how to run the business. But, they know if they have "data" then they can baffle them with BS.

Who do you think gives them the great idea of colocation? Indians. Trackit? Indians.

They gave the task of how to come back to the office to Indians. None of it worked, it failed big time. Then, everyone just sat where they wanted.

Whenever you see something stupid, and wonder why they need to count, track, or do something that makes no sense... It's the Indians. They live and die on the dashboards, spreadsheets, and mumbo-jumbo analytics provided by Indians and the whole place is suffering because of it.

It's the Indians.

@q8 what do we actually know about this? Rumor or confirmed by some hard evidence?

My manager was mad that the team gave low scores but no one gave direct comments. This is the very attitude that makes no one willing to speak up, on my team. Not sure what the participation will look like with this one, but we shall see.
