Any news on more layoffs?
I'm talking about major rounds - not the small cuts we are witnessing each day.
Get rid of the nasty business people creating a hostile work environment
The first Wednesday of every month appears to be reserved for Layoffs. I heard there were more coming the first week in May. I hope for more on the business side this time rather than IT. A large portion of the higher up business people are... — read more
Volunteering for a layoff at State Street
You can contact HR and volunteer to accept a severance package as long as your dept is looking to make cuts. I had someone in my dept take the severance package voluntarily. Is there any way to find out your department is looking to make cuts any... — read more
So if so many top tier are getting laid off
Why can’t we get a pay raise? It’s been years without an actual raise. I’m tired of “big banks” being demonized by 2020 potus contenders. Who’s going to manage all their money? I’m so tired of making ends meet with a top college degree excellent... — read more
Layoffs at SSgA today
Just heard some upper management got hit today in GA.
Looking for Current SS employees to provide status report
I was a 15 year SS employee until last summer. During the past 18 months as we moved 80% of my Fund Admin team to India, the output from India was awful. Those of us left in Boston worked our tails off to fix the work and keep the client happy. But... — read more

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
I heard there are layoffs planned for this week.
Good luck...lol.
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
This thread is useless

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.
Contract workers being replaced with cheaper contract workers
I know the company was desperate to save money but replacing temps with temps? I signed a 3 month contract to work at State Street. After my 3 months was up they extended my contract 4 more times for a total of 15 months. After I hit 15 month they... — read more
Layoff timing

Go look at all the other companies in the “layoff.com”, every company is laying off over 50 crowd. We’re f#kced.
More layoffs on Wednesday, February 13th
A little bird told me.
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

Issues for single people working at State Street.

Lease on the 1 Lincoln Center Boston runs out soon

Ignore this while thread

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

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
