I get the frustration, but walking out with nothing? With layoffs everywhere, severance is practically guaranteed. Why throw that away?

Grateful for the opportunity
SS&C has every right to lay people off. Not saying it's right or wrong. We, as employees, have every right to leave at any time for other opportunities. If you're looking for a better opportunity and one comes along, you should take it. Why stay somewhere you're not happy with for potential severance? And to be honest, if you're the type of person who's staying just for severance, I'm not sure why the company would want you there. The only people who should potentially do that are those looking to retire or close to retirement who have many years of service.
IFDS, DST or SS&C whatever and whenever you worked there we can all agree it’s a sh*tfest of a company to work for…. Lousy pay, benefits, environment and grandfathered employees everywhere…a decent place to start out not end up!
I still work at SS&C and wish I would get laid off…it’s like pleeeeeezzzzzeee put me out of this continual misery…££££
I mean the severance packages are a joke. They aren’t even 1 week per year.
@OP Who says you'll get a severance? If you're not saving on your own you're d-mb and fit right in at SS&C.
At least it isn't as bad as the boys and girls in Oz, look at this crock of s***

I walked away with something and the amount of work dodging I must have raked in £££s...thanks for the memories!
Sometimes it is too painful to stay. SS&C is very toxic and some people cannot take it anymore …
