Is in the horizon. He can’t right this old schooner. Her glory days were pillaged by many retired and former execs. They left the hull for the rest to row to shore if it even makes it. We can only hope for a merger but then the axe comes full... — read more

Ron’s Sailing it in
Ron is presiding over a failing firm whilst sailing his competition yacht all over the world. Thoughts?
Timing
It makes sense that the next big one would be October. Give the people 2 months notice and then by end of December they will have a leaner workforce to make those layoff numbers for the new year.
Not a place to build a career at anymore
No one can build his or her career here any longer in confidence. The truth is once someone is maybe feeling like it’s taking off In a good direction, the job may be eliminated or placed offshore. Pretty grim I guess. Greener pastures out there... — read more
Layoffs wednesday???
Has anyone heard from legit source if this Wednesday is big lay-off day??
Quality vs savings
Truth is we were told in confidence, 6 years ago when my job was supposed be sent over, that these offshore employees Make less than 2.50 an hour and SSC doesn’t have to pay their health or 401k. So do the math. We can never compete with that. So, ... — read more
State Street and Indian outsourcing quality
I remember when all the work was being done in the U.S , mgmt demanded 100% quality work be done. It was constantly drilled into our head, " State Street stands for quality work" Question is I find it funny how they allow Indian to do C - to... — read more
It is imperative
That everyone on here contact their senators about voting no on senate bill 386 that Lyndsey Graham is wanting. It is massive visas for many jobs that we hold going to India and China and bringing them here. They’ve destroyed the tech industry and... — read more
Hard realities to accept
The hard facts are since the retirement of Marsh Carter, this company has been going down hill. Each CEO is more of a hatchet man than the next. Marsh Carter days were when employees here were valued, treated with respect, and seen as assets to the... — read more
Technology?
Most of the technology is old and what is new is badly designed. Good luck.
It’s a very sad place to be now
A Very sad place that has k–led a once amazing place to work. No employee value and all they do is offshore our jobs and lay off in addition. No raises, cutting benefits constantly, and always trying to move people out of Quincy to the new building... — read more
Unionize or Strike?
Just wondering, if there was a union at State Street, a lot of this wouldnt be happening. What are peoples thoughts?
It’s pretty grim isn’t it?
It’s getting really scary now. I think there’s going to be a mass lay-off it’s almost inevitable. My team seems to be running scared. Working tons of hours couldn’t even try to apply for a job all I have time for is sleep by the time I get home. ... — read more
Is the 60 day notification period apart of the severance package?
So is the 60 days (i.e. 5-6 weeks) from notification to last day apart of your severance package? For example, if someone worked there 10 years for 20 weeks severance, would after their last day they only get severance for 14-15 weeks?
WFH Tax Credits
For all of you who think WFH is a soft perk, State Street receives a $2k per employee per year tax credit for this. Assuming 15k Boston employees, that $30M per year. Could be used to offset cutting us to the bone, but alas that’s a fools errand!
Reducing Severance
Effective 8/1 US Severance packages eliminating minimum weeks per job to just Years of Service. Previously a VP would get 14 weeks + 2 weeks per Year of Service. Now only 2 weeks per year of Service. That’s why layoff news is quite. Keep... — read more
Tiny fact missing from BBJ omitted in previous post.
“State Street is now aiming for 2,300 job cuts in 2019, it said. A spokesman told the Business Journal that the 800 additional cuts would come from natural attrition tied to the hiring freeze, not through layoffs”. So if you you think your next... — read more

Anyone know which departments are next for layoffs?
The department I'm in is currently seeing a more proactive approach to off shoring. Anyone know which departments are up next n the chopping block?

Looks like our problems are now being talked about on Bank of New York Mellon forum as well: https://www.thelayoff.com/t/ZwhogmL I think direct link goes like this @ZwhogmL.
Slow down the layoffs
Nobody is safe anymore indeed. I can tell you with 100% accuracy that upper mgmt has recently admitted that they have recently let go of people too fast without finding out if their offshore counterparts could do the job. Do you want to know how... — read more
Takeover?
Apparently the board is nervous and fear a takeover given the low stock price. If the price continues to drop it may happen. State Street is almost to the point where it would be attractive for a larger company.
Layoffs due to non workers
Half the people laid off were either taking hour lunches mowing their lawns or bringing kids to school jokes on State Street
Poor work quality
I am amazed with all the layoffs, and the poor quality of work being done in India. How this company has not lost any major customers. But then they seem to do a good job of keeping things out of the news. I pity the U.S workers already doing double... — read more

Did IBT management ruin SSC
It’s no coincidence that the mighty Clipper started to sink when the acquisition of IBT occurred. IBT management came in and took high position and kicked out SSC folks. Now that most high level VPs come from IBT, are they to blame for the current... — read more

Poor Earnings = More Layoffs
Nothing like a poor earnings report (down $3.00 at the open) to boost moral! More layoffs are eminent.
