If you were laid off, I highly recommend using the LHH resource provided to you ASAP. It's an incredible service which will keep you motivated and hopeful. I have actually started getting call backs for interviews! I was fairly disappointed in being... — read more 

What happens to group health coverage if decide to terminate early due to new job? I believe health coverage is still good through the end of month in which you terminate, right?

Holy sh-t. Could Schwab hire a less trained group of people? Why did we go through all these layoffs losing talented reps while these mo--ns are still on the phone!!!! They’re making my job so much harder than it needs to be

I just want to make sure, we are certain there will be no additional cuts this year, right?

Can somebody who was laid off reapply for a job at Schwab?

I've noticed that layoffs and the way the whole issue was handled have soured most employees on the company. At least this is my experience with the people I work with. Is this true throughout Schwab? How many people are now so disillusioned that... — read more 

I got laid off like so many and was honestly shocked and went through the stages of grief. But already had irons in the fire and one of them came through this week!! I will be starting in Jan and am taking my first real time off since graduating... — read more

You didn’t own your tomorrow, your tomorrow owned you

Don't stay at Schwab if you're unhappy. I've been looking for a little over a month and I already got two offers. I'm still debating what to do, but I know I'm not staying here much longer. Just having the option to leave has had a positive impact on... — read more 

Do we still get severance if we get a new role at Schwab after 1/5? It is weird that they almost punish you on severance of you go back to the Schwab.

Good luck to anyone who still believes in Charles Schwab. You will be replaced when AI and foreign workers are up to speed.

It’s confirmed there are a few hundred more employees than there are available seats in Orlando, rumor has it they will be implementing desk sharing (gross). Has anyone else heard this rumor? Anyone in leadership here who can confirm?

I could probably make peace with the layoffs and move on. However, a part of me is infuriated for the fact that those favored by domain MDs and senior leaders have retained positions (some deserving and many not deserving). These so called false... — read more 

No explanation needed Title says it all...

I resigned without notice and so happy I did! It’s all going down hill from here. I didn’t want to be part of the titanic.

I’ve been job hunting for 6 months now. Started as soon as the layoff announcement came out. It’s been insane. I’ve sent out hundreds of applications and gotten literally 4 interviews and then never heard back or was told the roles were cut (for... — read more 

One thing I never heard from leadership was how many hours a day was required for those 3-4 days a week. So go in a couple of hours and work the rest from home. Start your day at home, eat lunch, then go in a few hours and come home before rush hour... — read more 

An hour meeting to say nothing at all and got fidgety when asked if anymore layoffs are ahead. "We don't know what the future holds" Perfect example of what's wrong with Schwab leadership. So disconnected from their employees, poor communication... — read more 

I've noticed that most of the folks I work with are no longer satisfied with their jobs. It feels like the only thing we talk about lately that is not work-related is how each of our job searches is going. This was never true before. It's depressing... — read more

You many not be able to claim unemployment with the severance pay. https://www.twc.texas.gov/programs/unemployment-benefits/how-money-other-sources-can-affect-your-benefits

I'm just trying to provide a little motivation to those affected. I was laid off in October of 2020 during the first round, right after the merger was approved. It took a few months but I eventually landed doing the same work at another firm for 10%... — read more 

In my 2019 layoff, I noticed that they laid off a lot of older workers along with some younger workers in entry level jobs that were basically on written warning for d-mb sh-t, like calling in hungover every Monday. They know what they’re doing... — read more 

I made a mistake. I know there's no use crying over spilled milk but I can't help but look back and think how much better off I would have been had I not rushed to accept a better paid job. My old company had no layoffs since I came here. The friends... — read more 

Make sure that if you are going to sign the severance agreement electronically, you select Yes twice in the drop down. The first selection is electronic consent and the second selection of Yes is the actual electronic signature. If you don’t do both... — read more 

To my fellow colleagues who got laid off, I received an email from the separation resource site to sign the severance document. On a quick scan, it basically says you won’t initiate or participate in any legal actions against the company and if you... — read more 

Better to chill here for sometime. Unlikely to have another layoff. Feeling safe for now.

There is irony in companies forcing their employees back to the office after four years. Anecdotal evidence shows a few friends who had been working from home for years before Covid began growing a bit tired of the WFH life after about three years... — read more 

Did anyone follow the instructions for logging into Workday and have it work? on hold with MyHr and I'm guessing I will be on for a long time. I hope someone has information that can help.

It'll be so much easier when the next round starts if you already have a few irons in the fire. And we all know that another round is coming.

I started tracking on 8/2 The difference on 11/3 when Workday caught up was Employees - 2409 Contractors - 1485 Total - 3901 Today 11/6 Employees- 2723 Contractors- 1501 Total - 4231 Total employment on 8/2 was 48181. Thus, there is ~8.8%... — read more 

Especially knowing that, most likely, more will be coming sometime down the road, whether it's in three, six, or twelve months.

From "LHH" claiming to be "Charles Schwab Benefit: Career Services". It's easy to accidentally open junk while stressed.

If you get a job right away, like under the 2 months that you're still technically an employee, will that risk your severance not being paid out? Or your bonuses?

I’m sorry for all the people who were laid off this week. I hope everyone realizes though that IT DOES NOT MATTER if you are loyal to a company. They are NOT loyal to you. I actually like Schwab because they’ve been a lot better to work for than... — read more
