Was anyone’s bonus or merit (should be going out in the next week) valuable enough to consider staying another year?

Just 18 more days to go folks. Mass exodus.

Already starting to interview. 2 weeks notice not absolutely necessary.

So looks like we have a new RTO plan…but I doubt it’ll stick, either due to mass attrition or a new variant (or both). Good luck with that Schwab.

I thought moving to another department would be a lot easier than it turned out to be. I am quite disappointed and would now prefer to leave Schwab. Is there anyone here to share their own experience with moving to another department?

I HONESTLY believe we will miss the CD1 MILESTONE because Schwab is a PIONEER in managing the most incompetent organization. EVERYONE in leadership is d-mb. You dummies disengaged green and now you want to re-engage?

Or will they? I dare ya.

I wouldn't want to generalize, but it always surprises me over and over again how some managers are very successful at sugarcoating the facts. Is it part of their job? It shouldn't be. I don’t think any manager is better just because they are nice... — read more 

Sick and tired hearing those words. Nowhere does Schwab mentions employees and their wellbeing. As if only clients are important, but not the employees. Sure, we receive thank you here and there, sounds hollow. Why are we not important to Schwab?... — read more 

Who filled out the Employee Survey? My department had to waste more than usual by calling a meeting just to ask everyone to answer positively since last year’s responses were so low.

Oops, it is 'The Power of the Dog', well, we work like a dog

What is degree of confidence that CD1 will be completed by next year? Seems like we aren’t making much progress.

I don’t think any cuts are needed given how many people are leaving and given how many people intend to leave. In the past two months, more of my colleagues have left than ever before. So I can't believe that cuts could happen soon? That would be a... — read more

Did anyone else “register” for that? It seems like a waste of time. I’m not sure I really care to hear what Chuck and Walt think given how so far removed they are from anything we do or experience.

I wonder how many such cases are there, people who are just waiting to get a bonus before they leave. I think there will be a lot of resignations, judging by my colleagues' comments. I am also just waiting for the bonus and then goodbye CS.

I left Schwab recently. I’m happy I did, but it’s not as bad as people a few voices on this forum make it out to be. Yes, there’s lots of confusion with the merger and yes, there are groups where it sucks to work. But its not all groups If you... — read more 

His lack of vision and leadership are the main reasons STS has been stagnant for years now. Well before covid and TDA. He lacks vision and awareness of the modern workplace and his own org. Schwab technology needs a better leader to drive change.

CD1 is all on you. We have faith. With your excellent leadership team, you will certainly deliver on time and on budget.

Another TDA leader has had enough. Such a shame...

Can someone please respond to this with some details on what's mentioned on today's call? I'm sure Schwab will just carry on like nothing is happening but I think we would all like to hear any details mentioned
