This is a recipe for failure
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

DST needs to stop getting rid of people
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
Dst layoffs as they dont care
Dont be fooled. Dst never cared for rank and file. Only top, self serving execs
Dst was a joke management wise
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
There are no jobs out there. The media is lying about the economy's health
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
Is there anybody not looking for a new job?
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

Two more giving notice.
Two people in our team just confided to the rest of us that they are giving notice later today to our manager. Both were recruited by someone who left previously to join them at a financial firm. Selfishly all I can think of is how this is going to... — read more
Why are they hiring if there are layoffs coming?
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

Is there a way out of this for DST?
I honestly don't see a way out of the mess we are in right now. There were times before where proper decisions by management could have changed the trajectory of this sinking ship, but I think those times are gone for good now. Am I wrong? Is there a... — read more
Dst no longer exists
Dst is defunct. Its stock is delisted. This thread should be ended. Dst does not exists.
Hmm....
Interesting no new rumors of when the layoffs will be? Maybe we should've started a pool on the date.
Again....
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?
SS&C No Pay Rises
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.

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.

Just curious about what your are hearing around your areas.
Everyone’s had a year to find a new job
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
Layoffs in April 2019
There’s a rumor.
A few of us in my group got stock options last year after the merger
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???
Ice storm
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.
