SSB- rant and some advice

WOW! I worked at SSB w/Marsh and loved it and then worked under Mike Rogers at IBT. He was interesting. They are very different. I see Mike brought over his posse. Kathy Keenan was a joke. She made me put in 3 forms to get an upgraded desk phone when... — read more

Tell Your State Street Story

We need to humanize this tragedy. A few have done so already -- saying how long they were employed, the impact the company's culture had on their family relationships and their own health. Describing how difficult a job search has been after being... — read more

TODAY

Sounds a lot like 1995. Then the entire NY office was downsized and moved back to Boston and we all lost our jobs.

The place is a sweat shop, plain and simple.

You can actually go back farther than 2013 for job cuts. They used to have the annual "trimming of the fat" (i.e. Laying off low performing employees), however after the financial crisis in 2008 they have had frequent layoffs. For a while in 2009... — read more

Bring back Marsh Carter

Who else remembers how well the company was run under Marsh Carter ? A man who treated all workers with respect and made them feel like valued members of the State Street team. Maybe the Board of Directors need to vote to replace Jay Hooley with a... — read more

Any new layoff activity being seen by anyone?

No news is good news I guess. Maybe it was just dead weight being culled? Nothing out of the ordinary or bad going on where I am at, looking pretty decent actually...,should I be afraid?

Repeal Dodd-Frank

It's killing banking, in all ways and venues. The industry as a whole will be decimated and irreparable if Hillary gets in the WH. She'll have her minion Warren do her dirty work to destroy not just STT but the industry as a whole. If you want the... — read more

So my boss says we're getting a bonus?

She fails to tells when or how much? Are we to just sit and wait and hope it appears in our paycheck? STT seems to take pleasure in having employees live on then brink of poverty. It's so odd it goes against other companies where they try to pay you... — read more

Seriously, is anyone getting a raise this year?

I know I'm not joking, are raises (if you can call .05% a raise) being given out? Usually they start giving bonuses and raises and it's always so secretive and hush hush. Most companies enjoy giving out raises and bonuses. State Street makes you... — read more

I know I'm the anomaly, but I like my job and my team.

I have low pay and find it hard to live on the small pay, but I do manage. So you suggest up and leave instead of sticking it out? My guess is the people that are on a higher pay scale might be more at risk of losing their job or am I wrong in that... — read more

Another day

Another stock hit. Stock down another $3.00+ just this morning. At some point leadership has to realize they need a change in direction and CEO. This is just not working.

Go to Boston business journal

Another great article that shows the looming cost cutting Jay is implementing. Each dollar cut symbolizes a real person. It's so antiseptic when you say cost cutting instead of heavy, chronic layoffs. Don't hear anything about a cut in his salary or... — read more
