Good communication posted by FINRA yesterday. Of interest is this part of the statement: "FINRA has seen recent statements from firms stating that new, stringent rules from FINRA will require them to bring their workforce back to the office full time. This is incorrect."
So for those who have been claiming RTO is due in full or in part to FINRA, well... FINRA released a statement specifically to publicly correct misinformation that is being shared by firms.
File a medical exception.
Get approved.
Apply for numerous jobs.
Get declined for all because you are remote.
Easy discrimination/accessibility lawsuit.
Not with firm anymore but they preached the uncertainty of the regulatory environment around this issue and you may have to register as an OSH etc.
I don't remember this was a reason mentioned as RTO at Schwab. Don't get me wrong, I wish to remote as much as you all, but don't want people to think this changes anything for us.
The only real solution I see is to find employment at remote friendly place, if enough people do that that's the only way things MAY change
