Now the latest - charging everyone a flat fee for administrative costs. Plus they started taking it out a few weeks ago but just now got around to sending the letter to explain the fees.
Simply Put: This is Chicken Shit. From this point forward, pfizer will nickel and dime us. This my Friends, is why I lose ZERO sleep when my last call ( M-Th) is at 3:30 and I only do administrative tasks on Friday which are completed by 12:30pm. When Pfizer sticks it to me, I stick it to pfizer...only deeper. Too bad they ( mgt ) does not understand this. P.S. try to fire me!!! Bring it On!!! My employment attorney laughs at our subjective metrics!!!
Rolling all of my account to Vanguard. Want nothing more to do with Pfizer or Fidelity....their toady.
What a bunch of entitled brats. sure, Pfizer sucks. We all know that. But, stop complaining and just find another job.
Wait...you have a 401k? I bet Pfizer matches your annual contribution, too. Unreal! I can't believe they give you thousand of free dollars just to show you how much they appreciate your hard work and then have the gall to take a few of those dollars back to cover some administrations fees. Who do they think they are being so generous? Makes me sick all this niceness. I think you'd be much happier if they didn't put anything into your 401k...yeah, that'll show those mean Pfizer money-givers. Imagine, trying to make their employees happy...disgusting!
401k being nice??!! This is industry standard component of compensation. If these turds were nice, the would continue the pension plan. Let's be clear, pfizer is chickenshit. the nickel and dime expenses and scrapping the pension plan. NOTHING NICE about pfizer.
Every company is dropping pensions only 2% have them. As far as 401K's many do not have them, some receive a minimal match, etc. Be thankful for what you have had so far you ungrateful person. Most of the world is starving except for a handful of countries. You live better than 99% of the world and most probably much better than many Americans.
So naive and stupid. Pfizer benefits as much or more than we do with the 401k or they wouldn't have it. And, you're damn right I live much better than many Americans because I earn it, not expect someone else to take care of me like 50%+ of "Americans". It's called personal responsibility and hard work, concepts that are rapidly disappearing in this country. If this lack of ambition continues we'll join all the starving countries who made their own beds long ago. Socialism and welfare doesn't work!
Pfizer does nothing unless the benefit. Employees are nothing more than pawns in their game. We would all be gone if they didn't need us. I earn what I get; they give me nothing.
