Two people started working in our department in April as replacements for a few who decided to leave this mess on their own, and I'm appalled at how little they know and how little they're trying to learn. Is this where we are now? Is this the best... — read more

We can't lose anymore people and continue to function properly. Too many people have been laid off, too many have left on their own, and too few were brought in to replace them. We are doing the work of two-three people each and if we have to pick up... — read more 

Dont be fooled. Dst never cared for rank and file. Only top, self serving execs

dst layoffs are direct result of bas management. Missed indusrty standard of sub accounting. Promoting executives lovers was always a bad move. Rockhurst infatuation was silly. As a result, dsr is gone

I've been looking since I started working here a year ago. To be honest, I am finding it difficult for the first time in my life to find a new job. I've sent out 100s of resumes, especially to jobs I am qualified for, even out of state, and I've got... — read more 

So many people I talk to keep telling me they are already looking for a new job - to the point where I am wondering if there is anybody left here who is not actively working on getting out of DST? Even the new hires are saying the same thing... I... — read more

They just hired someone in my group. She is going to be really upset when she realizes what a mistake she made accepting the job. No one in my group is happy. No raises and now a new employee to fight for the work with. Fml

Dst is defunct. Its stock is delisted. This thread should be ended. Dst does not exists.

Interesting no new rumors of when the layoffs will be? Maybe we should've started a pool on the date.

Yet another rumor that tomorrow 3/20 will be D-Day... Does anyone know if there is any truth to this most recent rumor? Any layoffs happen this month anywhere in this company?

I have just been told that there are no pay rises this year across the whole of SS&C. Is this true? How often often does SS&C do this or is this the first time.

Can’t wait 😊

Is it really not happening until April...

I heard they are going to pay out the bonuses the End of February, then instead of your your performance raise in April, they will lay you off with all getting a 2 week severance.

Everyone’s had a year to find a new job. If you’ve been in your role a very long time, like over 5+ years, never grown or had a promotion, you’re a gone. My group is slow as molasses. We all know it’s just a matter of time, and that time is most... — read more 

There’s a rumor.

Enjoy.

Does that make us all safe from future layoffs? I mean they would not give us stock in the company if they were going to lay people off, right???

I hear that due to the upcoming ice storm, they have placed all critical personel in rooms at the Marriott. If you weren’t offered a room - you are on the lay-off list.

When is the layoff?

Let it be today, the day they let some of us go....

The end of Jan 2019 is coming soon, any news or talks of layoffs??
