#competency

Fidelity may have shunned you. You were perceived as a threat to your boss or peers. You were seen as the competition by your boss. You were intentionally siloed to compensate for your boss’s incompetence and inexperience. You may have been treated in ways no person ever deserved.

At employers outside Fidelity, your deep domain knowledge, experience, business acumen, executive presence… everything you bring is valued and encouraged. Everything you bring to your new job is a valuable asset. You are worth significantly more than you realize.

It’s crazy how leaving Fidelity and becoming reestablished at a new company is so rejuvenating. You realize how overqualified and overtrained you are. Assignments that once seemed challenging are effortless, while senior leaders, managers, and peers quickly realize they’re working with a different breed.

Fidelity’s trash is another company’s goldmine.

Your new employer respects you. Values you. You’re doing meaningful work with purpose. Your contributions have a significant impact. You actually want to go to work again and look forward to it. This is what awaits you. I guarantee it.

You only have one life to live. Stop wasting your time at a company that doesn’t want you or respect you.

Have full confidence in every aspect of all your abilities, and you’ll be surprised with just how much you know, and how much value you bring in every sense of the word.

A fresh start and a clean slate is exactly what you need and deserve. Break free from the belief that Fidelity defines who you are and what you’re capable of.

I cannot believe how absolutely ridiculously this organization operates.

A meeting ends and these id--t managers think another meeting is needed to follow up the just finished meeting.

How about hiring some competent people then you won't need to have irrelevant meetings wasting everybody's time?

Working for optum is so boring and mundane even being in a role that's supposed to require compentecy HA. Can someone from HR locate me via vpn and put me off the next layoff pleaseeeeeeeeee. I hate my life here ! There's a ton of people stressed about layoffs that NEED their jobs. Lay me offffff you tards

Management is rolling out a brand-new "Competency Model" framework for upcoming mid-year reviews that completely changes the rules of our jobs right after a massive layoff. They are introducing a mandatory "AI Competency" metric, requiring everyone to use AI tools daily and even "configure simple agents" just to be rated as "Effective" in their roles. This is a transparent move to force a smaller, surviving workforce to use automation to absorb all the leftover work from our departed colleagues. By rushing this out by August 31 alongside mid-year "goal adjustments," management is building a paper trail that redefines what it means to do your job well. If you don't adopt these new automated workflows, they can mark you as underperforming even if you are doing your core job perfectly, creating a loop hole for them to shift to performance-based terminations instead of layoffs so they can dodge paying severance down the road. Just when you think they can’t go any lower, they now want to take away severance pay

A lotof cliches can be said so I'll spare you the boredom.

They did it again, stakeholder value was retained for a quarter at a cost of competency.

We knew this comany is not here to innovate, I mean the top product is a cheap SharePoint variant and the latest innovation is AI tool that saves you time in copy-paste, if you are willing to spend 6600$ a month to host it.

No one in OT asks themselves why other companies make money while we are not, they ask how can we milk a 30 year old tech with minimal effort and here we are, 2% down anda new announcement that now, this time, finally, for sure - will succeed because the problem was expensive employees not 8ncompetent accountants.

Ever heard about 3% YOY growth that never happens? Yes!
Ever heard about analysts that get fired for getting it wrong? No!
The OT way.. a graveyard for auccessful tech for sale.

Pretty please? Aren't they supposed to make our jobs easier instead of harder? Why is NS determined to just promote or hire completely incompetent people? Why?

Jeffrey A. Goldstein, Nicole Anasenes, Mark Benjamin, Anil Chakravarthy, Kourtney Gibson, Lisa A. Hook, Kenneth T. Lamneck, Gary L. Lauer, James B. Stallings Jr.….

This is lack of market confidence in your CEO. You put Gary, Jeff, Frank in same role and the stocks pops.

Just imagine if we have more competent ELT

I lost two truly competent people on my team - we are certainly going to feel it.

interested in your impression if you have met him. i met him a while back and was not impressed. he seem odd and awkward and didnt really appear competent for his job.

Read an article on our proposed acquisition of Schroders.
https://alternativecreditinvestor.com/2026/02/13/schroders-deal-costs-to-weigh-on-nuveen-profitability-says-moodys/

From the article

Moody’s has downgraded its outlook for both TIAA and Nuveen from ‘stable’ to ‘negative’, citing the anticipated credit impact of the acquisition.

The ratings agency said the TIAA downgrade reflects anticipated weakening of its financial profile, resulting from the high cost to finance the acquisition. This will increase leverage, reduce capital adequacy, and heightens execution and integration risk associated with the transaction, it said.

Moody’s also noted that “despite the complementary nature of the European asset management target and its potential to bolster Nuveen’s market position and earnings diversification, the acquisition lies outside TIAA’s core higher education pension business”, which is another factor in its decision to revise down the outlook.

With all the layoffs and firings, one has to ask whether our EC is competent enough and whether we have the resources to pull this off. It seems risky. This is about to be a big expensive mess.

Is anyone else noticing that the recent hires seem totally unprepared? They don't have the skills, they don't seem motivated, and we're spending all our time training them on basics they should already know. Can we get some competent new hires, please?

How are all of these soft beta simps still around? And why are we bringing in more from outside? They clearly lack competence and confidence, have no authority and serve no purpose other than being middlemen.

Truly seems like management is being paid to run this company into the ground without consequences. I can only imagine what investors would think if they went to the HQ to see what is really going on with this company. Such potential and it is all going to waste because the wrong people are on a power trip and they are removing competent people who would replace them and do a better a job. If only the investors knew what was really going on at Estero and Atlanta.

Maybe the investors do know and they are making a profit when we fail? Maybe the plan is for Hertz to fail and this was all done on purpose.

They only rely on layoffs and cost cuts and then they wonder why the stock keeps going down. Can we get some competent people in charge, please?

You all know who you are. And we all know who you are as well. Your insecurity is laughable. Keep talking more and more. Quietly listening in your meetings I love hearing about your control statements about “your money”, “your model”, or how you’ve never seen so many people invited to a peer review before. Actually heard one of these guys recently say “ I actually have a college degree”. Funny both poor examples I saw today are COP leaders.

I happily heard competent people today as well say “our money”, “the relevant people”, and “our model”.

Chevron needs team players to win in any environment, not insecure power trippers. Please get with the program.

Alteryx’s so‑called “premier” support is a joke. We are forced to repeat version details for every ticket, then receive automated emails at 1 a.m. that never actually help—just delay the process. When we finally get a call, the representatives are brusque, dismissive, and vouching for a product they obviously don’t understand.

After investing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for just a handful of inquiries, we’re treated like we’re on the wrong end of the telephone.

Alteryx, your support must stop treating us like a flaw in the system and start acting with genuine care and competence.

As part of the reorg, we have this new sales enablement function. I still have not seen the value of this function as none of the leads are not really doing much. What is this supposed to be? Can we get some competent people to enable this?

Bunch of id--ts running the business . Shame

I doubt it.
