If you went to Rock hurst and had a degree from it. You were given better treatment than others.

He wanted to layoff local staff and use offshore. You could hear him regularly screaming at staff in his office or throwing temper tantrums that would put a 3 year old to shame. His bosses knew of his behavior but kept him at dst for 50+ years. A... — read more 

Emotional detachment is seen as strength. Ruthlessness and lying is seen as career vambition. All approval is based on performance not integrity. The toxic atmosphere is set and allowed by upper management. Been this way since 1980.

2 years in, transfer agency. Mass exodus last year, still not recovered. Division feels held together with tape. No raises year one across the board. Carried the team year two, trained every new hire, de facto team lead. Review came back as a 2/5, no... — read more 

Yep. RIF today. Not sure how many, but it affected the Health/Pharm area. Anything more?

I was giving a lecture to UMKC students. I brought up DST as a locally grown company. Not a single student in the BUSINESS class knew of DST. They had no idea. Even after I explained it. Dst is just past history

Found a management person was having an affair. I never said a word till now. But did my accidental discovery cause my layoff?

I breathed plenty of secondhand smoke at Dst

Who the he-l is in charge?! All these positions that were not so long ago laid off are now being posted to fill. What’s the point in laying off knowledge and talent just to backfill the positions 9 to 12 months later with people off the streets that... — read more

Dst described in one word : silly. Silly executives, silly programmers, silly downtown location, silly treatment of problems. Serious clients, serious sc--w upside. Outta business

There are a lot of rumors, but little concrete info.
