My wife joined Fidelity in 2022 December. It was going awesome- WFH, good WLB, free cabs. We were both working remotely from our hometown. Until the mail came which said 9% reduction (1000 employees) in headcount to be informed by june, co-pay for cabs, 8 days a month in office along with increase in work load. Out of total 10,000 employees, 4500-5000 are based out of India. My wife has gone into so much stress, that she is working non-stop without a leave thinking if she doesn’t- she will be fired. A company which we thought was amazing in the beginning is a reason these days for increased stress levels.

Yeah 9% head count reduction is announced and there’s cost cutting + new work policies (eg: free cabs now moving to co-pay model, flexible WFH to 2 days/week mandatory etc)

Not a good time to join FIL. There is a lot of panic around the firings and the 1000 people layoff is just the starting, it will be followed by more layoffs in coming months.
Moreover, there is no financial growth in current situation due to cost cutting. The indirect message is be happy that your job is safe and don't expect much in terms of money.

Layoff will definitely impact the all the businesses and location. They do a lot of firing in Risk as it is just a cost function and no regulatory requirements.

The Current scenario of high attrition rates and job shift by taking multiple offers has been caused by a resource crunch in the market. However I have a feeling that this particular scenario of shifting jobs by way of multiple offers and getting high salary is creating a bubble in the market which will burst causing a ripple effect of lay offs due to cost saving efforts by organisations in the near future. In a scenario like this how can one change the job by avoiding the bubble?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.
