I had a really sh---y review back in February this year, I didn’t agree with it. I asked management advice on how to correct these mistakes, they literally told me they weren’t going to help me answer that, that I was on my own. Coaching comes... — read more

When I joined a few years ago, this was a place with a good reputation and I felt lucky to have landed a job here. That's gone now. Potential employees are now reconsidering because of the management's propensity to go back on its word (RTO) and... — read more 

The WFH Exception application is open today 4/8 through the 19th. Wonder how this will go.

Gotta give credit to Chuck for building this company we love to hate.

At my new employer, and the internal site celebrated that we are #4 on the Fortune Top 100 GPTW. I pulled up the List, Schwab was nowhere to be found, BUT who was? Bank of America Edward Jones …and The Cheesecake Factory Wow, when Schwab is not... — read more 

Somewhere near the beginning of March some layoffs happened under the radar. Some of you have mentioned this. Can anyone confidently tell me how many and in what areas?

Correction - the executives received cash bonuses - not sure how they can sleep at night knowing the mess they created and the lives impacted.

Latest proxy statement is on the Schwab website. I can't quite understand how any of the Executives got a pay increase. Although none received cash bonuses they were certainly compensated well in stock and options for one of the worst years. I... — read more 

Anybody get any emails or talking to yet about RTO? I have made it 3 months and haven’t done a full Mon, Wed, Thurs yet due to vacation, sick, holidays, weather, etc.

Charles Schwab is reported to have liquidity problems. Also look to the efficiency ratio in the filings April 15th. The workers will pay with their jobs.

Anyone know if the company will fire you if you put in your notice. I’ve heard that happen to people I’ve talked to. Don’t know if it would be in their best interest at this point to pay the unemployment.

https://www.thinkadvisor.com/2024/01/25/schwab-td-ameritrade-antitrust-lawsuit-lives-on/ Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. Explains why Schwab was so eager to get rid of the TD employees and to destroy any chances of having to rebuild the TD platform. Hope they get... — read more 

Feels that way to my paranoid self. Can't get a callback or interview in 5 months despite literally being the golden goose for so many years. Hurting me is one thing, but my family is innocent. I'm sure this is just me overreacting to a stale market... — read more 

Not sure if anyone heard the same, but from my view point the writing is on the wall. Frozen consultant HC, weird vibe all around. Did anyone hear anything supporting or implying June date?

I hear managers are making cases for few folks, but will they be approved? They have been on hold since more than an year now.

Overworked ,underpaid and lied to by my manager. I feel sorry for our clients, employee morale is at lowest I personally have ever seen it, this includes layoffs during tech bubble/ 9/11 and 2008 recession. Rto is one thing, but the lies and smug... — read more 

Does anyone else feel misled about the Employee Advisory Council and its purpose? Rick keeps repeating they want to give context for decisions made by the EC... our initial impression was that EAC would have some sort of input on decisions. Also... — read more 

Anyone hear anything about layoffs this year? On the tech side they are wrapping up the transition of TD.

So I got a call this week that both my wealth advisor and my local branch rep were no longer with the company. Both let go. I was assigned a new local guy (very young) and a wealth advisor (really young) who has only 5 years in the business and only... — read more 

Can anyone help me understand in layman's terms how we're evaluating the "poor performance" of the company or the need for more layoffs? I believe we're doing poorly, but I don't understand why and the EC seems more apt to protect themselves/avoid... — read more 

Hi - Was anyone else denied unemployment until after the severance end date? Example : Last Day : Jan 1st Business Days of Severance : 60 So they've been denied until one week and 60 business days?

Probably better investments out there. The dividends are not great and I don’t have faith in the company in terms of growth.

I'm more than open to taking on more tasks, especially considering my current situation. I can't risk losing my job due to medical reasons, so I'm not thrilled but willing to put in extra effort. However, it becomes frustrating when I'm given... — read more 

Manager just made the announcement yesterday that all off shore and contractors are going to be in office 5 days a week with no exceptions. Anyone else heard this news as well? This could be a sign that full time RTO is around the corner.

I thought it would be in Q1. When do you guys think the next big wave of change will take place?

Is it just me, or is mgmt being even more toxic, passive aggressive, and micromanaging lately? It’s almost like every week something new gets announced with another way for them to tighten the grip on us. Is it just my dept or everyone else too? — read more

Just submitted the paperwork and it’s a relief. Bonus and bail. I’ll miss some folks a lot but this has been needed for a long time.

It's been long enough since the last layoff to know how much it impacted your workload. Our team only lost one person so it hasn't been too bad, but I know teams that have been halved that are now really struggling to keep up with work. What's the... — read more

I’m sitting in my car crying. I never thought I’d carry the grief I do for a company. Maybe it’s just because of the sh*t storm I’m currently in. We had each-others backs at TD. If there was a single goal we all had in common it was resolution. We’d... — read more 

Besides the obvious executive team... S.A.T. self-centered, narcissistic, very unqualified for role F. Agile wizard of nothing

8 stars for Walt and 67% would recommend Schwab to a friend. If I was looking for a job and saw this rating, I would likely be applying for roles.
