Thread regarding Charles Schwab Corp. layoffs

A year or so ago...

I recall seeing people post here complaining about minimal bonuses or wage increases. I was well aware of what was going on in the sector and economy, and thought of how totally clued out those people must be, and how they'd soon be grateful to simply have a job.

Time to open your eyes and wake the F_k up people. The vast majority of you can and will be replaced by a machine or an outsourcing company from India. That's your reality, so the sooner you start adjusting accordingly, the better off you'll be.

OP, the firm should have assigned you to predict where the economy would go, including rates movement, forecasting.

The epitome of a top performer “ And also, if they do not pay me enough and if I do not get an appropriate bonus, I will continue to whine and voice my opinion.” If you’re so unhappy, and had any transferable skills, you would have found another gig. Behaviors such as these are the cancer that plagues us all. Post your address so I can send you an honorary mouth breather t-shirt.

"Get off your high horse" is an idiom people retort with in an argument when the other person is acting like a holier-than-thou being when in reality, they aren't.

To put it in a simpler manner, to tell people to stop acting as if they're the top authority when they aren't.

Schwab does not pay me because they like to give me money - if they could they would have my role automated or outsourced, I knew this 11 years ago when I joined, I know this today. There is no love here, we are in a commercial relationship. And also, if they do not pay me enough and if I do not get an appropriate bonus, I will continue to whine and voice my opinion - is not that the whole purpose of this board anyway?

Calm down. You’re here because you’re in the same boat as the rest of us. No need to get all high and mighty.
