Thread regarding Charles Schwab Corp. layoffs

Wonder if TheLayoff.com has a fee service where you can pay to get IP addresses 😂 would anyone be surprised??

I guess the saying about boiling frogs in water really is true, judging by the corporate shilling in this thread all it took was 1 year for most people to forget about just how much of a quality of life increase remote work offered. (For responsible workers, not slackers) My own manager is fully remote yet I have to hear endless moralizing about coming in without any logic behind it. Sabbatical is later this year and the only remaining thing that Schwab can offer. Can’t wait to look at this board at the end of the year when corporate hacks start talking about how 5 days in office is incredible.

I was hired during the pandemic and was fully remote until the RTO policy kicked in and now I drive 40 miles one way 3 days a week to be on Teams for like 4 hours. I don't interact with anyone in my office all my co-workers are in all time zones and fully remote. I spoke to my manager, director and MD and they couldn't get me to work remotely. I am interviewing at the moment and my sabbatical is coming up later this summer. I don't think I will come back after my sabbatical.

Hahaha guys remember before COVID we had to go into office 5x a week! Remember? You lazy kids think you can advocate for a better quality of life while still being a productive employee? How stupid! I hate my family and love that I see less of them! Time to grow up! I have nothing resembling a logical or coherent response to any of the RTO complaints so I resort to lazy “old man yells at cloud” one liners. If anyone knows of any boots that are unlicked please let me know.

You got a paycheck, right?

Yeah!

That paycheck was defined on a 40 hour week plus whatever time might be needed beyond that to accomplish work, but , hey, you don't mind volunteering ten hours to sit in a car, pay for gas, pay for the car, and not have a parking spot because the garage is broken. Right?

For the unsmart - using the paycheck argument, you could theoretically say that workers need to volunteer 128 hours a week for secondary work activities and the associated costs.

@ns

Those "weaklings" probably keep the lights on so you can sit back and do a nothing job like HR at Schwab.

Look the Schwab HR voters are out here again. We see you Rick

Weaklings. Most of us who worked productively while remote and had remote agreements would have kept them if the weaklings among you who were too much of a kiss a-s so you said you’d work part-time remote then never showed up in office managed to sc--w the rest of us over. So stop with the political whining and race card nonsense. You’re pathetic. Leave.

I also work B shift and was remote but local to an office. HR said my WFH agreement was no longer valid and now I have to sit in a dark, open floor plan at the end of my shift.

You do as your told and make a good plebe

the pandemic didn't create technological advances for you to work from home - it was always there - Schwab is just not a remote work company - they and other financial firms tolerated it during the pandemic but now we are back to the way it was. You have a president that is requiring federal workers back - don't you think large firms will follow suit - a lot already have

When we make technological advances do we go back in time because that is the way we did it before? Why don’t you get rid of your cell phone and install a landline b-a

Bruh - the work world changed during the pandemic but his are basically back to where they were before the pandemic - if no longer like your commute - which I am sure you tolerated before the pandemic - move on. Oh wait - where would you go where you can work remote. Move on

Yes, I work B shift and I have to drive in to work in building where the lights turn off if you dont stand up and walk the row when everyone 8-5 leaves for the day. Pointless is one way of putting it.

Oh look, I got to eat dinner with my family at a normal hour. And we even cooked together and were washing dishes before 6pm. But RTO! Very profit! So benefit! Much small talk!

Big white rich guys refuse to admit their buildings are an utter waste of everyone's time and money. It would hurt their feelings

Please shut up and put your head down. All hail Glorious Leader and his gaggle of quisling simps! Come into the office to receive his favor!

Also please ignore the brown people being led away in chains... It will never happen to you :)

I love the you commuted before and su-k it up clowns. As if we have to stick with third grade experience.

Commutes are longer and more expensive than before. And if you can do the work 40% of the time from home then the 60% is not related to going the work.

So, please argue to subsidize a profitable company. If they benefit then of course employees should pay for the privilege!

Cue Red Foreman.

This is a layoff site, not RTO or whining. Let’s keep it relevant.

Some of us had long standing remote work agreements with HR and are now being told to come in 4 days a week.

did you work at Schwab before the pandemic - I am sure you commuted then - might be longer now because you moved further away - your problem not ours

Bruh, the way you police what people post on here is actually kinda sad—especially since Schwab already has someone working overtime to get posts taken down.

Why do you even care if people vent on an anonymous board?. Whether it’s RTO, the egomaniacs in leadership, the cringey slogans, the performative meetings, Rick the robot, the lack of opportunities (aka career hospice), the MAGA support, the loss of integrity, or the fake core values, let the people post until it gets removed.

Bruh, I don't want to be this person but move on. You've been doing this for over a year and being a victim wont help you. Humans are pack animals so you need to accept that you will talk to other humans sometimes.
