Topics regarding layoffs at State Street Corp.

A company run by vendors

BB&T and Suntrust

Huge merger. This is the beginning of mega sized banks. Who will STT merge with? Goldman’s? Vanguard? Fidelity? This is likely why the rapid acceleration on layoffs. I have no inside knowledge but it makes sense. Only the large survive in this global... — read more

Looks like everywhere is better than SS

I see a lot of my college friends that work in the same business are doing better than I’ am. They make better money and definitely have enough time to spend with their families. Don’t get me wrong, those are some people, and I also am a high... — read more

Management doesn't care

Is there anybody here who actually feels like this management values us as employees? They simply don't care. They keep piling work on us and expect us to do it for same pay. And as long as you show that you can do it, even if that means seeing your... — read more

We see the writing on the wall

Given they admitted to hiring over 30% of workforce over last 5 years.... you can expect 30% + 15% to be laid off at the very least.....there will be 45% to be cut easily. Companies make deals with the state to create “x” amount of jobs. They get big... — read more

Is it hard to get a new job?

The one that would pay similarly to what we earn at State Street? I'll admit, I've been here for too long and now I find the whole interviewing for a new job process rather daunting. I think that might be the main reason I haven't left this place... — read more

Constant reorgs

I’m a relatively young worker who hasn’t been long at the company, so I suppose I still have the energy to take all the bull and frankly I don’t see SS as a lifetime career option, but I honestly don’t understand how the long-time workers can take... — read more

So who is safe?

Are the AVP’s? Don’t they need a few “top” ppl yo run the show? Don’t they need workers already trained? Are they going to just shut it down in Boston completely? Aren’t the elected officials concerned in the least? This is a major employer in the... — read more

You would be surprised at how long they have been planning on sending a large percentage of US positions to India and other global sites

The layoffs have been going on for at least 15 - 20 years. If you have a network of former and current employees of State Street believe me you would be surprised how long they have been planning on sending a large percentage of US positions to India... — read more

So how stupid does a company have to be to warn of layoffs and then expect people to still do their jobs correctly?

I mean cmon how many people are going to even do their jobs correctly anymore? What’s the point if most of the workers are getting laid off this year? Someone please explain because I feel like I’m not getting all the facts. Why should Jack and Suzy... — read more
