@1bwq+1p2q1I8V I think loss of employment counts as a life changing event so you don’t need to worry about benefit elections.

Sadly, the crazy is really desperation. Folks are on edge, understandably, and are reaching for straws and trying to make sense of an information vacuum.
HR please do it before OCT 25th before the annual enrollment ends. Husband and wife schwabies. If one of us lose our jobs the other can sign up for benefits.
Crazy is coming from everywhere. People are searching for any straw to grasp.
Lone tree sent out seating so I’m safe right? No.
Omaha is having us move to new desks Monday so I’m safe right? No.
My EC tells us every all hands we play a pivotal to the success of the company im safe right? Lol no
Realize it’s happening. It’s happening sooner than later and there’s no way to be “safe”. Stop caring about Schwab and life gets a whole lot better
Looking at the last two posts, I am so glad I'm not in the Lone Tree campus. You feel the crazy in these Schwabbies. I'd fear being in the same office.
I didn’t get assigned a seat so I’m indefinitely remote. In lone tree. Suspicious
Spoke to higher up about it, says that the seating chart has nothing to do with layoffs, and even if you have a desk on the spreadsheet doesn’t mean anything about being safe
On Monday - I’m coming out of the Lone Tree hills, moving in and putting my scent on the cube like a wild moose in heat - claiming my territory according the real estate lords.
Lone tree had a list of 1000+ employee seats set to be moved next weekend. It was sent out yesterday

I call bullsh*t. 5% would be about 1,700 people with targeted $400m savings ($100m separate for real estate).
The average package would not be $235,000 a person.
They will plan and assign based on best info and knowledge they have right now. Layoffs will be 5% total. Lets say for argument its 10% (not realistic). It will not be difficult to reshuffle and reassign those 10%.
I got mine, rather work remote though
Indirectly from someone on my team. I wouldn’t put too much stock in that though. Real estate is gonna get a whole new list of names in a couple weeks
yes, so what does it all mean?
