Thread regarding Fidelity Investments layoffs

Stop whining, you Fido's

  1. You've all long been overpaid at Fido for a long time.

  2. Blackrock robo-investing. Writing on the wall. This is the future.

  3. You've had more stability than anybody else in any other industry in the Boston area I know already.

Before you start flaming me, know that I come from manufacturing. I've seen more good people lose their jobs than you ever will. People making $15-$25/hr, not your crazy salaries. People who will never see that level of salary again.

Welcome to the real world.

Hey Buddy...

Lets just be clear, it s---s when it happens to anybody. And the org hasn't had a lot of stability. Its had huge layoffs over the last 18 months. There have been previous waves of reductions going all the way back to 2017. It used to be every 4-5 years, Ned took a huge chunk out. So in that area, since you are from manufacturing, and talking out of your bottom orifice, you don't know Shinola.

As to the pay, again so what? A woman goes to college, puts in the time and the money, gets a good job. Works her way up the ladder. Her ladder just goes higher. And now when her legs are getting cut out from under her, your answer is "Stop Whining". You really are a piece of work. I've been thru layoffs before. S---s. Everytime. Even with a big package and plenty of prospects. Clearly you haven't been through these things. So how about this, why don't you stop whining.

I will know if you can take your own advice by the lack of response.

Licensed phone reps make 23/hr. Unlicensed less so. Middle office is salaried. Makes around 48k a year.
