Ex-Schwabbie here. If you are dissatisfied with work conditions, pay, treatment from leadership I would highly encourage you to check out the NLRA. It gives private sector non-supervisory employees the right to discuss such issues on social media, teams, a huddle, or even a screen saver. These are rights guaranteed regardless if you are part of a union or not. Check out the definitions of concerted activity. You have the right to bring up these questions and concerns to your leaders. If they retaliate then you have yourself a very strong legal case. Retaliation includes your work (phone calls) being more scrutinized than that of your peers. There is a reason Schwab doesn't train you on the NLRA.

@be if you can prove that a communication was sent out that raises were reduced explicitly for commuting then I will create a campaign for you to be the CEO. If a leader told you that then they were being nice…instead of telling you the truth that you aren’t a very good employee who cr-ppy work, they took the easy way out and said you don’t have to drive in. I can GUARANTEE that the company never had that as a directive.
@b5 Aren't you clever. Except raises explicitly adjusted down for commuting aren't "earned". But you'll learn basic logic in fifth grade. Hopefully.
@b4 raises are earned. So to answer the question, no your pay wasn’t reduced.
@b0 Throughout pre-rto3 it was stated that raises were lowered. So, yes.
Did work from home started, did anyone have their pay reduced? If not, seems like you actually got a pay raise but didn’t complain about that, right?
Excellent note. Adding that corporations are creating and enhancing the mantra.
What mantra?
Be happy you have a job.
No. Be happy we work for you and accept salaries that are fractions of value.
How fractional?
Well, RTO4 will take $2,000 from the average employee's wages in commute expenses. This doesn't include time, which averages an hour per commute.
And the company could give all of us a $100,000 bonus per year and still be profitable.
