Hope he gets the axe as well.

Does Fidelity even has o governing board? Private company owned by families risk the undue influence of king or queens. One careless whisper from the queen become somebody's bumper sticker, literally.
This crop of the so called "leadership" failed so miserably to motivate, they resolved to yelling, taking the most valuable thing away...Behaviors a parent would do to kids when his "parenting" fails.
@1jb+1jnfd43me Thanks for your insights Mrs. Stiles
The top is 100% to blame when huge changes they make are implemented. Coming back to the office is the very least of recent nosediving culture.
Buy hey, maybe you need a useless and poorly written thank you note management keeps sending because they seem to believe we think they value us.
All of the executives are so out of touch with reality and have brought down the management abilities of the whole firm. If not Roger, than Abby is responsible. Someone need to accept responsibility for the downfall of the company.
We can't blame Roger for driving people back to the office. The company made that decision, he takes orders like anyone else.
Roger has been good and a stabilizing force for the company. Easy to blame the top when none of us have been in the role. Reality is he is one of the most stable leaders and navigated the org through tough times, internal politics, culture change and issues and continues to do so.
I don't get why Roger would be over the Women's Leadership Group, what a bust for the women. They deserve a strong women leading, not a dude that got them in their second class citizen role in the first place.
Is Roger the guy who got rid of the role of testers all together (test your own code!) and at the same time instituted all those armchair architects (but we don't trust you can design your own code)?
This is now the Fidelity Way. So much of the company is lead by people who don't know anything about tech or creating something to solve a problem. It's just bozos with project management experience who think every workflow starts with a PowerPoint and ends with a vendor product solution.
Agile and project management people are slowly ki-ling Fidelity.
Roger was never a SWE. Yet he led PI Tech for years and then moved on to Enterprise Tech. His short term thinking has decimated the talent and made us go down rabbit holes that are expensive and now we are locked-in. Vast swaths of ET are now just vendor management scaffolding. He was never in the shoes of thousands he was leading. Now he's taken his 'skills' to lead a business. I can't imagine what wonderful things will come out of it. Abby herself thinks that talent is not as important as loyalty.
why is he a failure (I work in a different group and dont interact w. him much)
Roger is all talk.
Look at the state of things in technology today.
What a great person to have running a women’s leadership group- the same guy that said you want a job come in the two weeks, you want a career - come in more than 2 weeks. Clueless. Time for this guy to get a VBO
Woah, that’s no way to speak about the co leader of the women’s leadership group.
It annoyed me so much when I saw that
