Layoffs are a coming. DST = don't stay there. That's either by your choice or managements choice. But "don't stay there"....

If DST Systems Inc is sold, then the east coast buyer will layoff hundreds, maybe thousands of DST employees. Output Technologies will be spun off / sold to someone like Hart Hanks who is not a financial records keeper. Maybe even a European buyer... — read more 

DST slated to be sold between August and November 2013. You can go to a full service broker (not yahoo finance) and see huge holder activity in the $75 call options. All other prices have little activity or even holders. You can't make money on the... — read more 

I guess the 350 layoffs at the end of June were more ex-employee bullshit. Nice to know that everything on here is false. Why would a current HR or manager post on here about upcoming layoffs? Right, they wouldn't.

The girls at DST were always pretty wild and loose. A guy working there (you were a minority) could always find a date for the weekend out of the customer service pool. Even the top executives found girlfriends, wives and "fun" from that mutual funds... — read more 

I remember in 1982 DST was up in arms because they hated and wanted to stop TEFRA. They wanted us to sign the petition to stop it that was in the HR office, by Joan Horan's desk. Tefra is tracking of social security numbers by the financial industry... — read more 

I left DST a few years ago and did not like my supervisor that was very jr and had a hard time speaking and writing English.

I agree with you. Yes, don't complain about the company that you work for. If you are not happy with your place of work, just leave, don't stay and complain. But I don't work for DST anymore and never will again, so I think I have free rein to... — read more 

DST is a lovely place to work. Stop complaining. You is lucky to have work.

My former boss, currently a manager at DST Output, is the most evil SOB I have ever met. He's a liar, unethical, corrupt, and has no respect from me. Just a terrible, bad person - which is just about the worst thing that I can say about anyone.

80% of DST Output management are college drop out

DST has always been cheap and not paid employees what they are worth on the market (like client service reps). Plus executives are Republicans. So what do you expect - layoffs, small raises, no path to career advancement. Bill Gates would be at 60K... — read more 

I'm glad I don't work there anymore. I saw what was going on and left. I want no part of them.

DST Output - horrible company, horrible people

Not for sure. So far it is performance plan people. It has been hitting one or two here and there but nothing on a mass scale YET.

GO TO HELL DST OUTPUT!

350!!!! F-ing WOW!!! Do you know where?

Yep layoffs today and more tomorrow. 350 by the end of June at DST. Budgets already forecast for them and folks can't do a thing about it, as if they ever could. Sale coming soon, most likely Argus or DSTO. DSTHS and DSTGS will be the big players... — read more 

So as some of you may know that in the processing world of reits and M/F they are going to try out a new system where they move all of the TC's into their own little area so they can work on "process improvement" then all of the UM's will be the... — read more 

Output screwed me over twice. They'll never get the chance to do it a third time, because I will have nothing to do with them ever again. Imagine an evil person who smiles to your face and gives you compliments, but at the same time stabs you in the... — read more 

DST Output HR has a huge reputation of spying on employees suspected of affair scandals involving executives. Nothing short of spying and harassing, ultimately terminating the innocent lower associate. The Output HR executive Mary Ann Sutherland is... — read more 

Dst has automated so well, that they will be laying off everyone except me. I will answer the phone and answer calls from CNBC.

Output president Steve Towle should investigate the corrupt hiring practices at Output, and then fire all the hiring managers and HR personnel involved.

do you know anything?

DST Output - what a awful, screwed-up company.

Yes Bob Tritt presented the Gould award to students on behalf of DST. I am not sure why we would glorify Bob Gould : he came in from the east coast sector, hired his own unqualified friends, threw Dave O. under the bus, caused upper management pain... — read more 

arbeola, you posted that Robert Tritt is not with DST any longer. However he seems to be attending all the meetings and is still leading his division. Perhaps its YOU that doesn't work at DST anymore.

Please give details and sources of layoff rumors.

Their hiring selection criteria certainly isn't based on qualifications. Age discrimination, nepotism, cronyism, affirmative action - it's probably one of those that takes priority. But it's not job qualifications. DST Output HR and management are... — read more 

More layoffs are going to happen (IMO). Get ready...

DST Output is an evil company.

More layoffs coming? Thats a rumor I heard, and its probably for a "synergy type" reason! Ugly!

Robert L. Tritt, 56, joined DST in 1977. He became EVP of DST's U.S. Investment Recordkeeping Solutions business in 2009. Prior to his current position, he served since 1989 as Group VP with responsibility for prod dev and customer relationships for... — read more 

Crimenee! Your theguy that sent Bob Tritt the dead rat?????

More cuts are on the way. I hear a hedge fund manager that has taken a personal interest in unlocking dst,s value. Usually that means cutbacks

Where do you find a rodent and do you send it by regular mail or special delivery?

Yeppers! Yeth! Yeah! Yes!

Reid, aren't you the one that send a dead rodent to your manager when you didn't get a promotion? You don't deserve anything with that type of bad behavior. Think about the poor example.....

Yes Reid, I remember you. You were in the STS / Securities Transfer group. It was a pretty laid back bunch....they never did make you a Manager. You were more of a non-technical adviser. That whole system was trash canned some years ago. Assembler... — read more
