Oh how wonderful it be to have the Ghosts of Christmas past, present and future visted the CEO and Board of Directors. Show them how they have destroyed the lives on so many former State Street Workers. People making 35% to 40% less due to their new... — read more
Get ready for a massive layoff...
Heard it from a friend.... layoffs happening first quarter of 2019. S---s to work at state street, lol.
Jay Hooley
As much as some people on here didn't like Jay Hooley I think we will miss him in 2019. We did get some cost savings though. Jay was making 16 Million. Ron will only be getting 10 million this year.
Men will be the target
The company has diversity and financial goals to meet. If your peers are women and especially non-white women you will be the first to be shown the door. They get two birds with one stone. Cost savings and an instant boost in diversity ratio. So much... — read more
Offshore
We need our clients to demand their accounts are serviced by people in the US.
Plagiarism
I wonder if investors are aware of our CEOs dark past. We are pushing ESGs, but the guy running the ship withdrew from law school for plagiarism.
Charles River
STT just spent 2 billion on a tech company. Say good bye to your IT contacts.
Advice
I would advise you to work very hard during the day and look for job after work. Increase your odds of retaining your employment.
Stock Price at 60.00 USD
Get your resumes ready. They have to make it up somehow.
Strategy
Does anyone know what the strategy is for 2019? If you are reassigned to delivery are you doomed? What about client service? It seems like they want to get rid of COEs.
Can we write to Donald Trump?
There should be a penalty for moving work offshore in bulk.
Spans and Layers
When you see the term spans and layers in communication, that is code for eliminating management. If you are a manager and you lose your direct reports - you are in trouble. If you are given more staff someone near you is in trouble. Stripping you of... — read more
CRD
Did anyone notice the 30% decline in stock price? That's what happens when you spend 2 Billion on an acquisition and have nothing to show for it. They are going to move as much work to india to make up for it.
No Replacements to Onshore Staff
They are not replacing any onshore reqs unless you belong to a client facing group.
Combining Data Groups
We received prep documentation about how to communicate undisclosed changes and company strategy to be announced Q1 to staff.
Increasing desk capacity in India
Was just on a call where my department head was talking about how they had to pump the brakes on layoffs because they ran out of desk space in Hyderabad and Bengalaru. Guess they'll be between 500 and a 1000 more seats before end of Q1. Also that... — read more

Relax for a bit
I'm not sure where all the worry is coming from. What I'm reading seem to be mostly rumors that never materialize, and we haven't had any layoffs in quite a while, from what I can see. Not that there'll be no more layoffs, I know there will be, but... — read more

Or, it'll be all milk and honey in 2019.
Outsource
The move is globally to low cost area not only India and Poland. Impacting not only US but also EMEA and APAC. State Street is about to open a pandora box sooner or later.
Time to match
GOOGLE? Can everyone have the wherewithal to rally for higher wages for regular employees and better conditions without fear of layoffs? Where’s our senator? Isn’t she good at protesting? Smh

The flawed business strategy
State Street's problems have nothing to do with the "globalist" vs "nationalist" debate. If only it was that simple.... The company's stock is down almost 30% YTD. Far more than the declines in the stock prices of bank of NY, Northern trust or JP... — read more

That’s a huge loss in share. Not good. Not good. Any pensions being renegotiated? Well if not they should be. Lots of blue chips do that to cut costs. Wake up Tick tock

State Street opens Abu Dhabi office
State Street opened a second new office in Abu Dhabi on Monday (Sept 10) expanding in the United Arab Emirates as it eyes growth prospects in the Middle East region. Only a matter of time before layoffs are used to fill positions over there.
Did anything happen today?
From what I can see, September 6 rumor turned out to be false at least where I am. Unless I am missing something? Where there some layoffs somewhere else at State Street that I didn't hear about? I think word would have spread by now if that were the... — read more
