Topics regarding layoffs at T. Rowe Price Group Inc.

Move on and don't try to rationalize or understand why you

I was part of the 2018 purge. Did not make logical sense and, while the group was relatively small, it was impactful. I was lucky to find out via phone since I was off that day. I remember hearing what was going on and wondering what I was... — read more

Make decisions that are right for you

If you were just laid off, I know how overwhelming it feels right now, but take a breath and start moving one step at a time. I applied to over 100 jobs when it happened to me, and it took a while, but I ended up with multiple interviews and three... — read more 

This will have consequences

The leadership thinks swapping out experienced folks for cheaper new hires and outsourced labor is smart business, but it always backfires. Morale tanks when solid people get cut, and most of the ones left start looking for exits. You can’t build... — read more 

I feel bad about not being laid off

From what I've read in some threads, there was a limited voluntary round before this. If this is true, why didn't they make it available to all of us? Plenty of us are here only until something better pops up. Taking severance would work perfectly... — read more 

Layoff Messaging Failure

I have to say, the vague messaging around this round of layoffs is a real failure. Instead of giving your associates the facts, we're forced to attempt to make sense of what's happening in this very public forum. I don't think our investors would... — read more 

I can understand offshoring, to an extent

It’s simple-minded, short-sighted, and not particularly strategic. And clients suffer too. But when decisions are driven purely by numbers, it makes a certain kind of sense. Outsourcing to local consultancies, though? They just offshore too, and take... — read more 

There's a lot of reorganization happening

I can only assume that means more layoffs are coming. Not necessarily a major round, but small groups here and there. Just enough to ensure we never get even a day or two of peace of mind.

Prepare for increased workload

I'm betting you that we'll have to do the extra work now that people have been kicked out. There'll be no backfilling, that's for sure, but the volume of work will stay the same. They don't care if we'll be able to do it, it'll just be expected... — read more 

Memo

We are at a pivotal moment on our path back to organic growth. In the face of rapidly changing industry dynamics, we are committed to making the decisions necessary to invest in our strategy and take advantage of the opportunities ahead. This... — read more 

This was not about performance

Basically, from what I can see, if you're older and have higher pay, chances were higher to be shown the door. It's not a rule, of course, since then people could sue over age discrimination, but that seems to be the dominant factor. More people over... — read more 

Any managers affected?

If there's one place where we have plenty of fat, it's management levels. We can safely lose some to minimum impact. But somehow I doubt any of them are on the list.

Now watch the selection criteria

As a rule, the best - the most experienced, skilled, and reliable - are let go disproportionately. When decisions are guided solely by the bottom line, rather than by a strategic effort to improve operations and strengthen the workforce through even... — read more

Can somebody please share what kind of severance is being offered? Have there been any changes since the last layoff?

Layoffs have started

The US is next. I hope everyone is as prepared as they can be and has their ducks in a row. Stay sharp and take care of yourselves.

401K Benchmarking Exercise - Assistance Requested

I currently work at BNY Mellon. Our CEO recently announced a change to the 401K plan. Currently our company match (max 7%) is implemented each pay period. Starting in 2023, the match will be paid at the end of the year (actually, three months after... — read more

All true.... to this very day

The job eliminations are incredibly covert and include severance packages contingent on signed non-disclosures.

T. Rowe Layoffs in 2018 targeting long term employees

T. Rowe has continued laying off during 2018 in small enough groups to avoid news coverage. Just recently a group comprised of mostly long term employees. It's pure cost cutting even though the company and stock are doing well. Mid -senior management... — read more
