Layoffs at State Street have started

It's starting in Quincy already today. 2 layoffs that I know one of so far. It's not looking good for the rest of us since the 2 were the first 2 to arrive at the office today. Good luck to everyone. Does anybody have any more info on this? Have any... — read more

Over 50 and I finally I stopped looking for a new job

No one is hiring anyone over 50. Better make as much money as you can by age 49 and pay everything off before age 50. Gone are the days of working until 60. I’m dirt poor again like when I was in my 20s. All those years of working and saving, all to... — read more

No Raise, Low Bonus

Most of my department got comp info this week. Many of us got high ratings but no raise & a very low bonus. I can't imagine what people with poor ratings received. It was expected, especially in Boston & Quincy, but frustrating still. We worked... — read more

A company run by vendors

IBM, Verizon and CBRE essentially are replacing the actual SSC employees at an inflated price and they are surprising under qualified. Last week another 4 went at Global Real Estate leaving just 5 left....for whom the bells toll.

BB&T and Suntrust

Huge merger. This is the beginning of mega sized banks. Who will STT merge with? Goldman’s? Vanguard? Fidelity? This is likely why the rapid acceleration on layoffs. I have no inside knowledge but it makes sense. Only the large survive in this global... — read more

Looks like everywhere is better than SS

I see a lot of my college friends that work in the same business are doing better than I’ am. They make better money and definitely have enough time to spend with their families. Don’t get me wrong, those are some people, and I also am a high... — read more

Management doesn't care

Is there anybody here who actually feels like this management values us as employees? They simply don't care. They keep piling work on us and expect us to do it for same pay. And as long as you show that you can do it, even if that means seeing your... — read more

We see the writing on the wall

Given they admitted to hiring over 30% of workforce over last 5 years.... you can expect 30% + 15% to be laid off at the very least.....there will be 45% to be cut easily. Companies make deals with the state to create “x” amount of jobs. They get big... — read more

Is it hard to get a new job?

The one that would pay similarly to what we earn at State Street? I'll admit, I've been here for too long and now I find the whole interviewing for a new job process rather daunting. I think that might be the main reason I haven't left this place... — read more

What is going on with all the buildings ?

What is SST doing with all the buildings on the South shore , are they selling them or renting out floors to earn money. I just heard on the news how they have plans to move headquaters to One Congress tower in Boston. And did they not move some... — read more

Constant reorgs

I’m a relatively young worker who hasn’t been long at the company, so I suppose I still have the energy to take all the bull and frankly I don’t see SS as a lifetime career option, but I honestly don’t understand how the long-time workers can take... — read more

So who is safe?

Are the AVP’s? Don’t they need a few “top” ppl yo run the show? Don’t they need workers already trained? Are they going to just shut it down in Boston completely? Aren’t the elected officials concerned in the least? This is a major employer in the... — read more

How many changes and restructurings do we really need?

I've been with State Street for nearly a decade, and in that time I've seen at least five restructurings or reorganizations or however you want to call them. Three out of those five times included changing buildings - at least for me personally... — read more

Maybe it’s just ptsd
