Rather unusual number of recent activities from "former employees" appearing on Glassdoor. They give Schwab company 5-star approval rating and have one short sentence each under "Pros" and "Cons". Almost a bit cookie-cutter response. Makes me wonder... — read more 

Anyone else notice their job level change in Worksay? Mine moved down to a 58 which is less in severance

I realize this is probably wishful thinking and something I should already know. If we’re on the corporate bonus plan and our ABO is a significant portion of our total comp, what happens if we get laid off? The year is half over and that’s a good... — read more 

Good night, folks. Enjoy the weekend… really.

So my guess about my layoffs is Aug 3rd or right around that timeframe. I got to thinking if they do the whole 60 day notice thing, Aug 3rd is 60 days before Oct 2nd - first day RTO. So I wonder if they are doing this math? The total number of... — read more 

I was part of one of the previous layoff rounds. Mine was a Monday morning with an adhoc meeting prompt from my manager. Please note while you don't lose access until that afternoon you IMMEDIATELY lose the ability to send any emails externally. So... — read more 

I requested a medical exemption for my IBS and provided a doctor’s note going over my diagnosis and treatment. HR responded by sending me their form for my doctor to sign and a waiver to release my medical records. My doctor will not sign a third... — read more 

This chaos is brutal. Just fire us already, so we can get on with our lives.

Remember that year-end meeting last year, where each EC wore funny costumes on stage in SF? Before that, each EC from all the offices recapped the year, taking credit for all the accomplishments for their org. With the exception of KC, the... — read more 

....but look, this isn't a Schwab thing. It's the business cycle of the job market. In 2009 there were no jobs and millennial employees had to look and act picture-perfect to be considered for a cushy corporate job that paid decently. That cycle... — read more 

So. How does everyone that work in STS feel, going in to a potential day of doom.

I stuck by the motto of always just being happy that I had a job that paid decent. With excellent benefits. 2 years away from that sabbatical.. The stress. Is. Ki-ling. Me. Mentally. It’s imparing me. Physically as well. My husband and I are... — read more 

I was in a meeting and I was told we should know the list by 8/4. Is it true?

I'm so f--king tired of getting yelled at by old people!!! I'm THIS close to snapping, I cant stand clients who call in about the most insignificant things! Like oh I'm sorry your statement was printed on a new type of paper let me just k-ll myself!... — read more 

Do we think they will do layoffs prior to the September TG?

They recently started a new division of client facing teams, and I'm on one of those teams. Tell me why all day I talk to every damn client but the ones I'm supposed to be talking to. I mean, I know I should be grateful I'm employed for the time... — read more 

https://www.twc.texas.gov/businesses/worker-adjustment-and-retraining-notification-warn-notices Has not been updated since the beginning of July it seems

They keep saying end of year. Do you think they’ll really wait till then? Seems brutal to make people lose their jobs during Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, etc.

I'm going to fu----g snap. These leaders are so incredibly out of touch with the reality of this situation it's disgusting.

I'm confused as too the meaning of inverted pyramid layoff. Does this mean they are setting up for a new CEO? I met walt once and he was cool he can be relatable on a human level. I know these are stressful times and I can feel the worry. I hope... — read more 

Anyone else notice even more websites blocked with the new Zscaler VPN? They just keep cracking down. Can't even access my Google calendar anymore ☹️

Any ideas when the notifications will begin? Any thoughts?

I’m not sure about everyone else but I have been super stressed out recently. First, the RTO message really messed with my emotions. I know that they are not telling the truth about our productivity and that their true intentions on bringing us back... — read more 

Just wondering. Because I think that stuff is unknown to anyone below an MD. Also I expect management to come down harder on folks in order to force people out. Just my peasant opinion.

Any word on if/when branch network layoffs will occur? I’d imagine it’s got to be after the September integration wave but branch leadership has made some really stupid choices this year so nothing would surprise me.

The Fed no longer thinks a recession will happen this year. Peter are you reading the news?

Does anyone recall what time of day they sent notification emails?

Can anyone make sense of this for me? I fail to see any grander plan, strategy, or tactics behind this new "organization" of "resources".

I’m on Schweb and trying to understand severance. Am I getting the calculation right? Level 58 severance is approx 6 months pay? 60 days + 88 min business days

We just saw the report on our team. Corp is monitoring door badges. If you badge in at all, it counts you as being in office for an entire day. That said, this means no handshake deal with your management team. Corp will come down on those not... — read more 

I work just as hard from my office at home - if not harder - as I do in an office and I collaborate just fine online. Forcing me to RTO will only serve to ki-l my productivity and my morale. Why is that so hard to understand for those mo--ns who call... — read more 

Let’s say you’ve been at the company 6 years and are a 57. You get - 66 days. Or do you take that 66 days and add the two weeks per year?

The day we were told layoffs were coming, ricks stock portfolio grew by about $700,000 Walt, 4.3 million.
