Fidelity recently implemented a semi-weekly required 5-day RTO. Associates in Boston are generously given discounted parking at a rate of $25/day.

The punchline to the joke is that the CEO's family owns the garage in a separate company than Fidelity, so the employees can't even pretend to benefit from the fees they're handing to the billionaire Johnson family lol

What is semi weekly?

For sure. The full five days thing is the annoying part. Most of us had elective WFH before the pandemic and being in the office all five days every other week is difficult to plan around for routines/care etc

Wait so you are spending $125 per week on parking?

Yeah. I commute from NH and could take the bus but that's $325/mo.

They do have a commuter benefit where you can claim the taxes back on like $300 in expenses per year but that's so low i don't even think about it haha.

Will say I sometimes just work from the NH office but I don't have a single teammate there and it's "discouraged"

@Goldman Sachs 1 - It is expensive to live in Massachusetts. Driving into Boston is expensive. It isn't always possible for everyone who works in Boston to take public transportation. I am no longer living in Massachusetts but had colleagues who commuted from New Hampshire and also Cape Cod. I also had a friend who lived in New Hampshire but went back to nursing school so they didn't have to commute into Boston any longer. I never commuted a long distance and was fortunate to own a home that was close to the city.
OP - Why not transfer to the New Hampshire location?

Hello All,

I have job joining in UST in next. However, I'm having some concern. Could you please advise me on this.

I have some matrimonial disputes going on in court. Does it affect my job joining in UST?

I believe it's the employees personal matter and nothing to relate on job prospects (this is what i got as a reply from my previous employer)

Do I need to inform about my matrimonial disputes or should I keep quiet? How does background verification team consider this.
