Many of those released staff are taking action to move on and get new jobs. But even that act of self-consolation by TDA cuts may be blocked in certain cases because of the way that non-compete clauses attach to their departures and the way that Schwab chooses to enforce them. Schwab's enforcement certainly appears legal but the former TDA staff interviewed for this article are far from convinced they are being handled fairly.
One nuance is that Schwab, they say, is enforcing, literally, provisions that TD administered in a different spirit with regard to restricted stock being cashed in. One elephant in the room may be Fidelity. The big rival is eagerly hiring thousands of people, and it is easy to imagine that Schwab is not eager to hand the company great talent on a platter. Schwab promised not to lay off any more employees during But it's possible many more will go in , keeping these issues current.
See: Fidelity, Schwab, Robinhood and even days numbered TD Ameritrade are hiring thousands of staff -- even as Merrill Lynch hits a snag-- what's that say about free trading? Massive layoffs from the Schwab-TD Ameritrade merger have snared many former employees in non-compete agreements hindering their ability to find jobs in the COVID pandemic.

All asked to remain anonymous in order to speak candidly. The San Francisco-based broker offered severance packages, including vested restricted-stock, to many staffers, but it is handing non-compete agreements differently than TD Ameritrade had in the past.

It's unclear how many staff members were handed non-competes. One source told RIABiz that this provision impacted more than staffers, but Hooper says that number is inaccurate. Keep in mind that not all of the managing directors were impacted. Many remain," Hooper says. Other sources estimate this provision impacted around former staffers, noting that TD Ameritrade was generous with its stock options to high-performers in many positions across the company.
