He took over for Chuck and slowly has turned Schwab into a toxic environment where the employees have no voice or trust in senior leadership.
His net worth went from $20 million to $150 million. Congrats Walt. But your legacy is that you turned a once proud culture built on trust and loyalty into a company that your employees and clients can't trust.
Walt has always been Chuck's bootlicker. Don't think for a second this isn't what Chuck wants.
That is so depressing given that he isn’t willing to extend that to us.

“ What he discovered, Bettinger said, was that "who I was as a person, my values, my beliefs, were aligned with Schwab." And after a rocky start, in which he was told his performance needed to improve or he would be let go, he started his rise within the company.
Still, he nearly quit. As the single parent to three school-age children, he was determined to be there for them and not be distracted by work. His supervisor talked to company founder Charles Schwab and later told Bettinger he didn't have to quit. His work hours were adjusted so he could get his children on the bus and meet them when the school day was over. He worked around the family schedule. The work still got done.”
