Thread regarding Charles Schwab Corp. layoffs

Many are unaware of the risks

WFH is a great benefit in that more time is given to producing the work than having to get dressed and fight traffic to get to office and back. You do save more in terms of gas and car maintenance. However, beware that people who work remotely can be replaced with someone who can do the job for less or happens to have more geography skills will no longer pose a limitation for the job. Also, the fact that you are more "faceless" than somebody who is actually in the office may make it easier for management to lay you off. WFH benefit is a double-edge sword. Be prepared to come to work maybe 1 or 2 days a week if they ask even if you don't think it is necessary to.: post @4jdn+1dcTDylC

Geography also works against Schwab. They made a decision to place Lone Tree and Westlake in the burbs, convenient for the VPs who live in wealthy suburbs, but a horrible commute (and no public transit) for those who live in Denver or Dallas proper.
