    "excerpt": "Fidelity Investments is cutting approximately 800 jobs while planning to hire thousands of new workers, reshaping its technology teams through a restructuring announced in May 2026. The Boston-based financial services company confirmed the layoffs represent roughly 1% of its 80,000-person global workforce. The cuts primarily affect the company’s technology and product delivery teams. Fidelity said the changes are designed to streamline management layers and create room for early-career engineering talent. A company spokesperson stated the restructuring aims to get “the right combination of skills in place for where Fidelity and its customers need them most,” focusing on “creating more room for early career, hands-on engineering roles and streamlining management layers.” The hiring push is substantial. Fidelity plans to add approximately 3,300 new jobs this year, including nearly 2,000 early-career engineering roles and about 1,300 additional tech and product employees by year’s end. The company is also working to fill roughly 2,000 open positions across its organization. Despite widespread industry claims that artificial intelligence is driving workforce reductions, Fidelity has insisted AI played no role in its decision to cut positions. Instead, the company emphasized it needs real-world engineers and hands-on workers to roll out key products and services immediately...",
