fidelity let over 200 employees go either by firing them or having them resign for what they consider to be "questionable character " issues .

fidelity has a nice perk at some levels where they give you partial reimbursement towards exercise equipment you purchase or home/work computer's .

it seems loads of employees were caught submitting bills for equipment and then after submitting the reimbursement paperwork returned the items for credit .

it was pretty widely done . fidelity mgmt felt that people who do that are of questionable character in a company that handles 6 trillion in client money

i agree , they seem to be very big on having ethical people employed . there were star fund managers fired for questionable behavior towards women co-workers.

you don't do that in a company run by abby johnson .

^^^They should be. Good for Fidelity for doing this! Other financial institutions should take note.

I'd guess some of those terminated didn't think they did anything wrong.

How would they know it was returned? Just curious. I submitt receipts for reimbursement for safety equipment at work and after I give them receipt and they reimburse me, how would they know if I returned or not?

they must have audited the rebates they gave employees after catching someone doing that .

all they need to do is ask to have the following month's credit card statement submitted and look for a credit or to have you take a picture of the gear with a daily paper for date documentation . easy peasy to catch.
