Received a letter in the mail asking me to complete a Glint survey after being a former employee. I was instructed to specify my prior company email address as a user name and last name as a password (apparently last name in combination with email that contains last name is super super secure). I was not presented with any compensation or assurances of anonymity. What is this and who would go along with it? I can think of 100 ways it could be used to hurt my interests , and not 1 way that it would help them. Let me know if any of you out there have received the same.

Fill out the form! The more being filled with negative feedback, the more clear and attention about the bad decision and issues being shown as in the summarized report.
That’s hysterical.
I think they’re serious.
OMG.
Mate, clearly you’re young and naive or old and naive. Glint is hired specifically because they manipulate the data collection and presentation. It isn’t leadership’s fault. People misunderstood questions. They’re disgruntled. There’s a question three quarters from now that will validate and shed light on this.
Bottom line. As staff and management you don’t matter. Your opinion doesn’t matter. My opinion doesn’t matter. The only things that matter are market perception and good ole boy network play.
Fill it out if you wish. It’s only your time that’s wasted. But don’t think it’s gonna change course. We want a good company that values customers and employees. They want return on capital and automation.
Fill out the form! The more being filled with negative feedback, the more clear and attention about the bad decision and issues being shown as in the summarized report. Who will care the results? As Glint sends it back to Schwab HR, it will be checked on more seriously. The login info actually has no use at all in security.
It’s an exit survey, there’s no anonymity for an exit survey nor do they claim it’s anonymous. I filled it out after I resigned and answered it honestly, the good, the bad and the ugly! There was a question that asked if I could be contacted if HR has follow up questions and to provide my contact details, I didn’t provide anything and said I don’t want to be contacted but HR emailed me directly anyway asking if I could clarify some of the negative remarks I made about leadership at Schwab. I ignored the email, they followed up twice before I replied saying I had nothing more to say and they finally left me alone.
He11 no - don't fill out any survey - especially if you are no longer employed - or do fill it out and tell them to go to he11!
Glint?
Gonna Lie, Insult, Needle and Taunt.
I have yet to see any survey data used for change. Any criticism that makes it through the carefully crafted nonsense is immediately dismissed or pushed back on individual contributors. I was told to ask a report what they were doing to fix X. A 58. Right.
Chuckles, Walt and the rest don’t want feedback. They want money and influence. If they don’t know what we think and how they ruined a decent company by now they never will.
i spent 1/4th of my life there and am ashamed to say it because now I am starting from scratch despite whatever accomplishments I had... they weren't worth anything
I spent the better part of a decade dedicating significantly more time to the company than my own family so I can feel you... That said, I don't feel I owe one microsecond more to this company. If you want information from me, pay me like everyone else would in a capitalistic society. The fact that you ask someone to de-identify themselves as part of the survey kind of speaks for itself. If it was for training purposes, why ask who it came from down to first and last name? I guess we are all potential id--ts and wordsmithing gurus are super confident in their skills. Yuck. Don't let passionate people go and then ask for feedback. It only serves YOU.. I was on the fence about taking the rest of my money out of the firm.. but the latest attempt to "engage" me is pushing me towards total divestment. Let me know, and I'll do a SENDWORD
Same here.
Thanks for your candid sharing. While I was finally determined to let go of the painful experience and am ready moving on new path, this letter is triggering the wound. No idea what the purpose of the survey is intended for. Some in this layoff continued their journey seamlessly as the severance and all were extra bonuses to them; some still are struggling on finding new landing to support basic needs as the job market is skewing in skillsets so differently in Tech and financial service areas as being hit so hard especially to older age and heavy experienced employees.
Some time, our jobs were not just meaning paychecks only. We felt pride when delivered a good system and being entrusted to the work for the customers smile as we resolved the issues and supported them. I did not know what the criteria to select who should be let go or stay as BCG gave the data to decision makers but the trust to schw is lost for sure.
Yes. I will fill up the form sincerely. They dont need to pay me a dime to fill it out. I don’t care who will see the results and as always I filled the Glint survey honestly while was with Schw.
