Thread regarding Charles Schwab Corp. layoffs

We are all just a number, easily replaceable

Funny how all the schwabbies that have preached schwab as a way of life are quiet now. We are all here to break our backs to make the execs richer. Point proven by using us for the merger. Glad they have realized all of these roles are not essential and a waste of money. Overpaid managers doing nothing but getting paid to hand out snacks on a cart, and put their lunches on the company card. Remember 6 months ago?

Chief Executive Walter Bettinger led the way, purchasing 50,000 shares of Schwab SCHW at a weighted average price of $59.31, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission from late Tuesday. He paid a total price of $2.97 million.

Two fellow executives, President Richard Wurster and Chief Financial Officer Peter Crawford, each bought 5,000 Schwab shares Tuesday. Wurster bought at an average price of $57.28, for a total of about $286,000, while Crawford bought at an average price of $57.96, for a total of roughly $290,000.

@1cna+1ozvP1cr My wife worked at a major financial institute that rhymes with Asgard and she got "coaching" roughly a month before their team got disbanded.

Yes, I too have been getting "coaching" and negative comments about how I work suddenly, despite the fact, that I have received nothing but high marks and worked essentially the same way for the past few years. If that's not a big red flag, what is?

It's happening to you too? Out of the blue, I'm getting performance coaching on truly bogus stuff that an attorney would laugh at. it's hard to believe my boss can keep a straight face saying all this b.s. just a few weeks before layoffs. Clearly I am on the list.

And if you are valuable, it’s funny to watch your manager go out of their way to try and make you less valuable / more easily replaceable at every opportunity.

Eh. I really don’t care at this point. Let me go. Give me my severance and watch your successful project circle the drain. Then they can look all surprised about the sad state of affairs.

TLDR; Schwab doesn’t care about talent that can make them successful. That’s fine by us. Good luck. You’ll need it.

I was a schwoomerang and had only been back for a short period of time. I recently left in some of their likely hopeful attrition. The tone at that company had changed immensely compared to my first run. You hear the phrase “your employer is not your friend”…..well, it was blatantly obvious in a palpable way. I’d never felt that before and noped the he** out.
