And let’s be honest, that is the goal. The requirements will just keep getting more ridiculous until enough of us give up and leave on our own. Four days in the office will turn into five, 40 miles will become 50. It’s a cheap, convenient way to thin... — read more

Its the good old boys club. If something fails they simply switch around leaders from the same pool. Hey Schwab, the problem isn't your employees but your failed leaders.

Is this confirmed? Starts end of Q1 2026. 4 days in office. WFH day is your choice. Exceptions will be gone unless you live >50 miles from an office. OP: @gk+1k0yj1e9x
