The wonderous Walter is leaving us with a 3 year stock performance of negative 13 percent in one of the biggest economic booms ever. The S&P 500 is up 27 percent during the same time. Why are we giving this guy a pass and a huge bonus? Now he sits on... — read more

Only three years here, and I’m done. What seemed like a dream job turned out to be a major letdown with boring work, zero growth, and a paycheck that doesn’t match the effort. I honestly don’t know how leadership expects this to last, especially when... — read more

Is being on the phone the worst job at Schwab or is there anything worse? The leadership is also terrible

Over the past five years, the environment has shifted dramatically. During the pandemic, remote work was handled well, and productivity remained high. However, everything changed in mid-2023 when leadership introduced return-to-office (RTO)... — read more

Everyone else as excited as I am that this is Walt’s last month? This toxic wasteland needs a major change.

The higher ups have directed us PLs to make the lives of the employees miserable so that they can get people to quit. We over hired and cannot handle bad press after the banking fiasco. We are first being directed to get rid of anyone telecommuting... — read more
