Fidelity Investments has fired some employees for playing fantasy football. We don’t know all the facts of course, but this raises some serious questions about Fidelity. Unless the employees were wasting serious time at work on the fantasy football league, this seems like a ridiculous punishment. Couldn’t the employees have received a warning?
Fidelity apparently has cited their anti-gambling policies, but fantasy football is NOT gambling as pointed out by Yahoo! Sports.
Is this how Fidelity treats their employees? Do they treat their customers any better?
