Feeling guilty being a survivor in my department...
It's a weird feeling. About half my team got cut on Monday, including people I've worked closely with for years. I'm still here, though. My manager let me know my role is 'critical' moving forward, which sounds good but honestly, it just makes me feel awful seeing my colleagues go. I keep thinking about all the projects we were working on together and now I have to pick up the slack. How do you even process this? Do you act normal? Do you offer support? I don't want to seem insensitive, but I also don't want to be the 'annoying survivor' asking too many questions. Has anyone else been through this specific kind of 'survivor's guilt' after a layoff wave? Any advice on navigating the office dynamics now?
Severance package questions - anyone else getting the runaround?
Just got the news yesterday, part of the 63. Really blindsided. HR is being super vague about the severance details. They mentioned 'standard package' but wouldn't confirm what that actually means. Was in client services for about 4 years. Anyone else in a similar boat who got clarification? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth pushing back on anything. They gave us a week to sign the release form, which feels really short. Am I missing something, or are they just trying to rush us out the door? Any advice on what questions to ask or what to look out for would be super helpful. Feeling pretty stressed about the whole thing.
Lost my job in the latest Schwab cuts - what's my next move?
Well, it happened. I was part of the group let go last week. Been in tech support for 7 years, and this came out of nowhere. The severance package seems okay on paper, but I'm trying to figure out if it's standard or if there's room to negotiate. Has anyone else been in this situation recently at Schwab? What did you end up doing? Did you take the first job offer that came along, or did you try to hold out for something better? I'm feeling pretty lost right now and could use some advice from people who've been through this, especially at Schwab.
Is the recent layoff a sign of bigger cuts to come?
Hey everyone, saw the news about the ~60 people let go on May 31st. I'm in the digital marketing team, been here about 4 years, and honestly, this has me spooked. We haven't seen any direct cuts in our department, but the general vibe is pretty tense. Is this just a targeted efficiency move, or do you think leadership is gearing up for something more substantial in the coming months? Feels like the industry is shaky overall, and Schwab is usually so stable. Anyone on the ops or tech side seeing anything that confirms or denies this feeling? Just trying to gauge the temperature here.
Just venting: absolutely crushed after my Schwab interview
Had an interview for a senior analyst position on the fixed income team last week and I feel like I completely bombed it. I prepped for days, brushed up on everything from duration hedging to yield curve analysis. I thought I aced the technical questions, but then they asked me about my experience with specific software I've barely touched. The interviewer just seemed so unimpressed the entire time, even though I tried to emphasize my transferable skills. Honestly, the worst part is knowing I probably won't get a second chance. I really wanted this job. Ugh, the job search is such a soul-crushing process. Just needed to vent to people who understand.
Laid off from Schwab after 10 years - what severance can I expect?
Got the call today. After 10 years in client services, I'm out. Honestly, I saw it coming. The writing was on the wall with the performance reviews shifting and 'restructuring' talks. I'm trying to figure out what kind of severance package to expect. HR wasn't super clear. I know it varies based on tenure, but does anyone have any recent experience with this? I'm in a director-level role, based in Denver. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Trying to figure out my next steps and if I can afford to breathe.
Anyone else nervous about potential Q3 layoffs at Schwab?
I know there haven't been any official announcements, but the vibe has been off lately. My team (tech, specifically platform engineering) has been told to 'pause' all non-essential projects, and travel has been completely frozen. This happened before the last round of cuts a couple years ago. Anyone else seeing similar signs? I've been here for 7 years and I'm starting to get that pit in my stomach again. Is it just me being paranoid, or is something brewing? What departments should I watch out for? I'm not trying to cause panic, just trying to get a sense of what others are experiencing so I can start prepping.
Seriously burnt out - is it time to jump ship?
I'm so over this place. I've been a compliance analyst at Schwab for 4 years, and the workload has been insane ever since the TDA merger. We're constantly understaffed, deadlines are impossible, and management is completely out of touch. My mental health is in the toilet. I'm constantly stressed about making mistakes and getting reamed out. The pay is decent, but honestly, it's not worth the misery. I'm starting to look at other opportunities, but the job market is tough right now. Anyone else feeling the same way? Is it just me, or is Schwab a pressure cooker these days?
Schwab interview coming up - advice needed!
I have a final-round interview next week for a Senior Financial Consultant position at a Schwab branch. I've done my research on the company and the role, but I'm really nervous about acing it. Any current or former employees have advice on what they're looking for? Specific skills or experiences they value? Also, any insight on the team environment or culture would be greatly appreciated. I really want this job!
Anyone else feeling uneasy about 'restructuring' rumors?
I've been at Schwab for 7 years now, in the tech department supporting the trading platform. Lately, there's been a lot of hushed conversations and closed-door meetings. My manager has been super vague, and the general vibe is…off. Remember the TD Ameritrade integration? We were told 'no layoffs' and then BAM! I'm not saying it's happening for sure, but the 'restructuring' talk is setting off alarm bells. Anyone else hearing/seeing anything similar in their departments? Especially curious if anyone in the advisor services area knows anything.
