Desperate people will take any job. Thats why we remain. Thats why “managers” now lead a team whose jobs they don’t know. Thats why workers with “bad” managers don’t leave. The company aspires to “transparency”, but nobody tells the truth or maybe... — read more 

They did these layoffs. Reposted the same positions "looking for fresh talent". Everyone knows what a mess this company is to work at and won't touch these jobs so they just sit empty. Why would anyone want a position for less pay than the brick... — read more

We get new folks at the top on a monthly basis , are these times of desperation for Chuckie ?👍

I understand there were a few rumors about layoffs being performed this week and I would honestly be surprised if they turned out to be not true, given that every other rumor before was correct. In that light I ask the question is there any word on... — read more 

Layoffs today in asset servicing technology - from what I know about 10 total

They have loaded so many security scans on our computers, it’s almost impossible to get anything done. This happens both in the office and telecommuting. Ironic, they are doing things to improve company performance (layoffs, reorg), but each result... — read more

We have a wrestling tournament causing parking and tracking nightmares. We have a high profile trial that could result in protests or riots. If management had any common sense, they would have encouraged working from home Thursday and Friday.

ust thinking out loud. We couldn’t be a serious company in the industry with a much more knowledgeable and experienced workforce. Who the hell is gonna take us serious now, with a bunch of newcomers and outsourced departments.
