Back to Office Mandates - Customer Service Representative Fidelity Investments Employee Review

Fidelity is known for being a family oriented company; however that is changing. They are forcing people to come back to the office with no exceptions. This is uprooting people’s lives. Childcare will be needed more often and they do not help provide solutions for families. Productivity is the same remotely as it is in the office, if not higher. I asked if I could work in the office 3 days a week starting in September when 2 weeks a month is mandated and I was told that I need to be there all 5 days during my dynamic week. I would end up being in the office 2 days more a month (12 days a month vs 10) and it would significantly help with childcare but the answer so no. I’m disappointed, and hurt by this decision. Not only is everyone loosing time with their families, they will be loosing money with wear and tear on vehicles, gas, extra childcare, and purchasing enough business clothes for in office. It’s sad to see a company that used to care about their employees, no longer care.
