All hands is over. It’s happening tomorrow. The clues were all over that meeting, very coded in all the presentations, but the clues are there! Watch the replay!!

These people are scallywags make no mistake and not in a good way. Schwab is the most skilled company ever at hiring executives that are at the top of there game for straight faced lying. No respect for any of them

Mentioned $450 - $500M savings through layoffs and real-estate downsizing. Shares up half of a quarter percent.... Kinda interesting as this is old news now. Was there some kind of official press release from Schwab that just happened?

Just a thread to talk about the meeting

Do we know if anything is happening?

I don't have one good word to say about them. From lying to us about RTO to not giving us enough information about what's going on to turning to layoffs to fix their own mistakes, this group is just awful. I think we need a major change at the top if... — read more

Let me get this straight…. Do the needful and endorse each others cr-ppy work. But hold tight to the 5th of September or William Wallace will come for you.

I request everyone to concentrate on your work and make sure the integration goes smoothly. Forget about the layoffs. It is just part of every organization. As long as you are paid, you got to work and work hard.

What date is Client Day One ?

Remember, remember! The fifth of September, The Schwab EC treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Schwab EC treason Should ever be forgot! Rick Wurster and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow Schwab... — read more

Let me get this straight. If you get laid off at Schwab and ask your colleagues for an endorsement or whatever, they aren't "allowed" to give you one?!?! Can someone confirm this? If this is true, that's fu--ing horsesh-t. And what would be the... — read more

They can’t make us start making money for them. We can just keep doing our same work as TD Ameritrade, they can’t stop us. This company does have to die if we don’t let it. You show up on September 5th and you keep using your TDA email, you keep... — read more
