Is today the day we get our new titles? Any chance of layoffs today or are we still thinking August?

Reminds of of Star Wars, between Fin and the hot shot pilot guy. General. General. Thank you General. They are all generals. We are now all directors. Without meaning.

PTO for service > 10 years: lose 8 days a year in vacation. We gain 1 holiday making our net loss 7 days. We do gain 10 days of sick time but will be reprimanded if we use them all. Seriously, who uses 10 days of sick time a year. It will... — read more 

While waiting for the promotion here, I could've changed several jobs and get several promotions at each one. I’m exaggerating a bit, but I’m really disappointed because I’ve worked harder than many who have received promotion. I’m not saying I’m... — read more 

Before coming to CS I didn’t have any great experience. I worked for a short time at two smaller banks and when I got a job here I was thrilled because I thought I would have a lot to learn from older and more experienced colleagues. I was pretty... — read more 

Has anyone gotten their “mapping” to Schwab yet? Seems like they are downgrading a lot of TDA people and breaking up very functional teams. :,-( And all people level 57 and under are HOURLY? I have no idea how they get away with that, it is total BS... — read more 

(continue the sentence) I know, I know, I can go work somewhere else and no one is holding me back from leaving here. Still, that doesn’t mean I can’t have complaints about this place. My breaking point was being overwhelmed with work. I couldn't... — read more 

Based on my current bonus at TDA if they are the same going forward the next two quarters, I will be making less than the year before. I feel if you are dealing with the extra bs daily you should be compensated more. It seems HR at both companies... — read more 

The latest round of layoffs has got me thinking about my future at Schwab and it doesn't look too bright. With layoffs now being a constant threat, I think it's time to consider moving to a different company. I'm worried about being able to find... — read more 

This company is so horribly non-transparent... After the cuts of these 75 people, can we now be relaxed and believe that there will be no new layoffs until August?

I'm still safe, but no one in this company can feel very safe anymore. I would love to hear from someone at STS here to get some details about the layoffs. Did they choose the best and the people with the most experience or did they give layoffs... — read more 

There are more and more rumors about layoffs, but there are not many insights about who will be the target? Any thoughts? I don’t worry much because I’m prepared, and even if I get laid off I would avoid the ridiculous RTO plan. On the other hand, I... — read more 

Why does leadership feel like it's okay to tell TDA teams that they're aggressively hiring (especially in tech) as they continue laying off thousands of people? They have so much work but we sit here with nothing meaningful to do. Does anyone at... — read more 

Do not work for Schwab. Command and control environment. Take the package and run.

Masks not required on RTO while sitting at your desk. We are not planning on modifying the the office layout. WTF.

What divisions are Tier 2 & 3? I think compliance and AML are the only two I’ve heard about.

They are coming, a few different groups will be involved. Ongoing layoff planning for every quarter, the second Monday – Feb 8 happened, May 10 coming, look for similar in August and November all the way past CD1 in 2023.

Has the manager found an effective and super ingenious way to continue to micromanage you even while working from home? Mine has. It's amazing really. I thought that working from home I would be able to take a break from him since creates abnormal... — read more 

What’s happening with the Omaha TD headquarters? Do we all move to Lone Tree?

Many years at Schwab... That feeling can only be understood by those who have also been here for a very long time. Sometimes I think I could have done a lot better if I hadn’t stayed here that long. Sometimes loyalty is generally forced. That loyalty... — read more 

This RTO plan is c––p. Why do I need to be in the office 90% to do the same job I’ve been doing from home for the last year?

Does anyone have any info?

March 31st passed and no return to the office notices were delivered as predicted in an earlier post (https://www.thelayoff.com/t/18LESEfH). Does anyone have any new information? A lot of financial institutions are aiming for June. I imagine Schwab... — read more 

Man, that joint call we had with anonymous Q&A was comical. It was very clear which side wrote each question. I'm w/ Schwab, but I now report up to a TD person. Really hoping to not get canned, but I guess I have no say in the matter. I look... — read more 

After many years of working at CS, I think I would like to move to a much smaller company. I used to be proud to work here and build a career but lately CS and all of its elitism has become so tiring to me that I can’t wait to leave. Why am I not... — read more 

And just like that Q2 is here, and we are all on the potential chopping block once again. Does anyone have any dates for the next round? Will it come with the HR consolidation?

TDA update call, cuts every qtr. from now till who knows when. Probably till full integration. I think if they asked for volunteers, they’d be overwhelmed with the response! But they’d also lose the more tenured and top performers. So, don’t think... — read more 

Take this with a grain of salt, but there is a rumor that the Schwab Denver cafe will no longer serve spaghetti when we go back to office.

Don't get lulled into complacency. More layoffs are a guarantee. Yes, we might be safe this week or the next but that won't last more than a few months. This leadership is trigger happy when it comes to layoffs and I think we can all agree it was... — read more 

Funny that Neesha was talking about addressing Schwab.com outages right when the stream cutout 😝😝😝

What do you all think positive or negative? Sure it aligns with most of the industry but I think its going to be confusing at least for a while. So basically 60 and 61 people leaders all have the same title and VP all the way up through SEVP have the... — read more 

the needful must be done

Anyone who posted a question ahead of the All Hands call actually get their questions answered? Just a bunch of execs blowing smoke up each other's a$$e$,

I thought they were done with cuts, but I keep hearing there were more today from different people. Is this true?
