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

SSB Layoffs to continue through June 2016
That's the rumor on layoffs, take it with a grain of salt though
I worked at State Street for almost 27 years and lost my job in February 2014.
It definitely wasn't easy to find another position and I am still struggling since my current position is a much lower paying job. Best wishes to all who lost their jobs recently. I do know of quite a few former State Street jobs that landed some... — 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.

Just how to feed, house my family.

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.

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
