Is Schwab having a liquidity problem? Earnings last quarter say no, prior quarter say yes… client here that cannot access monies…you tell me why? Account issue remains unresolved despite promises

After Musk's tweet, I hope Walt doesn't get inspired to push full 5-day RTO. How's your RTO been till now?

Employees matter, but he clients matter more. That’s why the business exists in the first place—to serve clients. You work for the company, they don’t work for you. You may be entitled and have the attitude “well I’ll just go somewhere else, it’s an... — read more

I think we'll be in a recession within a few months. Do you think we'll have job cuts if a recession hits?

Certain blue technology leaders want this integration to fail and be able to point the finger at green. That is obvious by the amount of “help” their teams have been in integrating these systems. It’s not about the client or the best technology... — read more 

Working here is stressful, Schwab is very demanding. I almost got used to all that stress after working here for many years. However, what is really fascinating is how Schwab makes stressful even those things that don't have to be that way, and... — read more 

a few nuggets from the corporate call today: Walt said WFH and workplace flexibility is not permanent! Katie Casey said that compensation is based on "cost of labor" not "cost of living" and that everyone firm wide got 3% merit increases in March... — read more 

Based on the reality of the Q1 earnings, there will be planned layoffs in May. Second week. No severance package. At least 1400 to be cut. Mostly STS.

"Work smarter, not harder" - this is just another empty phrase that everyone uses. And what exactly does it mean to work smarter? My superior doesn't even want to hear about prioritizing activities, for him everything is always a priority and... — read more

I don't really care if it's a normal attrition or a mass exodus. The only thing that interests me is what does Schwab intend to do so that those of us who are left would not be so overworked? I can work under this pressure for another month, after... — read more 

I certainly didn’t start to hate this place all of a sudden. I went from being full of enthusiasm and gradually came to a point of zero morale where I am today. It is difficult to work with such morale. How to regain the lost motivation? Perhaps... — read more

Awful. On so many levels. Everyone is burned out. I’ve never seen anything like it. Direct people managers don’t know what’s going on, upper management is touting themselves as “premier” and building “world class service”. We’ve been hearing for 2... — read more 

Former level 58 who left for greener pastures last year. I'm curious how much bonus I would have gotten. I see $30-60k referenced here a lot. What's the actual # that hit your bank account?

Looks like the predictions for a mass exodus was all wrong. Management made a big concerted effort to provide some outstanding retention incentives. First round was in the form a some very large one time bonuses, combined with merit increases. ... — read more
