Even if he or she had all the insider info and decided to spill the beans, it would most likely be some twisted version of the truth or a flat-out lie. What we need to do instead of waiting for them to tell us what's going on is rely on good old... — read more

Before all this cr-p with layoffs started? I don't think so. I don't think anybody thinks so. I believe they managed to ki-l morale, ki-l productivity, and pull a break on any progress that was being made. All thanks to their idiocy and... — read more 

Since there is no transparency from the EC about when layoffs will happen maybe we can use what we know to make deductions. Have there been any transfer of FTEs in and out of your teams? Have your team been providing or receiving knowledge... — read more

I am curious I have accounts in Fidelity and Vanguard that were there before I joined schwab. I had to move everything to schwab my wife's accounts, my personal accounts, my kids accounts etc. Does it make sense to move it back if I am laid off.
