Charles Schwab does it by phone! (Score 1)

Not unprecedented, but really rude... Hey, last April I was laid off from Charles Schwab's IT dept. via a phone call. My boss's boss's boss was too much of a coward to wait until I was in the office to do it face to face. Not everyone got this treatment. I was special - well at least the chain of command was special :=)) Don't worry about me, though. I received a hefty severance package and now have my own business. All the best, Rob
