RTO

stock NYSE ADR

I like these VICI leaps. Jan 27 and June 27. Honestly like the play overall thanks for bringing it to another retards attention. Certainly some risk here, I’m not going to articulate it all nor do I trust myself to fully grasp the space as you and others in this thread do. With that said, the charts for VCI and ARE tell me these funds can be somewhat cyclical in terms of SP, and that ARE looks beaten tf down below fair value. I like them, and it’s a decent piece to fit into the non-gambling side of my port. Tossing a few grand in shares and a few more in leaps - I’ve thrown a lot more at much worse. Also, more companies are still going for the RTO shit, and i assume that bodes well here.

I don't work at Fidelity but with RTO they're trying to get people to quit first so probably not.

Shameful. We have seen overwhelming proof that WFH works yet these companies want to ram RTO down our throats. And it has nothing to do with culture or collaboration!

A lot of the big employers around me instituted RTO in the past 6 months
Now everyone gets even worse traffic and gas is at an all time high too!

Fidelity has been slowly ratcheting up RTO requirements since late 2022, this is their final push to get people to quit. They have hard data that their productivity was higher when remote flexibility was allowed, and 2025 was a record-setting year for the firm as a whole (insanely profitable), but senior leadership doesn't care about that. It's about reducing headcount to improve the bottom line so that SVPs and above can continue getting 6 figure bonus payouts -- associates doing the actual work will be expected to shoulder the additional burden when their colleages quit or get laid off.

Which ones? RTO has been happening for 2 years, there are no good guys. Fidelity is just late

There are no FINRA rules that don’t allow full time remote work. In fact FINRA has been reprimanding firms that are misrepresenting their rules and blaming FINRA for RTO - and they have been quite vocal about it. You can research it yourself.
FINRA has made working from home very easy

I do not object that moving from remote to in office is a disservice to employees. I strongly agree that employers should strive to offer its employees as much remote work as possible. My only contention is that Fidelity is just one of the last of financial firms to revert to a RTO policy, and that general ire should be directed to the financial industry as opposed to Fidelity specifically.
