Thoughts on the survey???

Do SS&C offer 401k???

Another higher up has been asked to leave apparently. One of the golden parachutes....sure you will hear more about it tomorrow from your managers in ES..... "Synergies"....sighhhhh...get out while you can...

As it was mentioned in another thread, mid to late October layoffs make perfect sense considering that open enrollment begins in November. If I were a betting man, I'd say that's when we are going to see the next major round. So don't say you were... — read more 

It’s going to be interesting what our benefits will look like with SS&C. Info coming out in October.

Soooo?

They blocked this sight within the last month.. Haha what a joke of a company, we can just get on our phones. I use to be able to check this website at work, now it says "blocked." Really DST, really...

Does anyone know if layoffs will happen today in Canton?

With the survey coming out today, you know it’s only a matter of time. Do not say you are actively looking unless you want to be walked out immediately!

Do we think or know if the 25th and 26th of Sept. are possible layoff days???

Any news about Albany? We’ll be down to less than 50 employees by the end of October. Hard to believe they’re renegotiating a lease with so few people left.

I think they positioned a few key employees to work remote but not everyone can work remote, so why so many unanswered questions looming over Southfield? So much for being upfront.

So far I have heard a couple of different rumors regarding the next layoff date, I heard September 24th-25th was the earliest but then there's another rumor that it would take place in October but no specific dates were mentioned. Has anyone else... — read more 

Has DST been known to rehire employees who were laid off a few years ago? And if so, what kind of pay do they get?

We haven’t seen anyone from SS&C yet but Mike will spend the day here today.

Funny Its blocked at least at DST Pharmacy Solutions which is stupid for we can just come here on our cell phones, tablets and home pcs. I heard of more layoffs in October. In the call center we are way over staffed. They are too cheap to pay us a... — read more 

If you look at the raises Dst gave it shows their level of care about retaining staff. The 1 to 2 % raises over the years were a silent layoff, that resulting in many people leaving. But I was friends with a mid level manager that received 10% +... — read more 

Any word on next round of layoffs?

It will be a dark one for kc, as it hasn't provided much outplacement support. The fed reserve is hiring, they are stable

I resigned after over 20 years. Hard decision to make. The not knowing was really getting to me. I am too young to retire and it is hard to tell how long the Quincy office will be open. I start a new job on Monday.

I've been reading about reduced severance in following rounds of layoffs. Where did this info come from? Is it true?

To this day I still like working here. I enjoy coming to work, I like the people I work with, and I even like what I do. I'm on this page out of fear I'll lose all that, not because I hate the company. Am I really alone in this? From the posts here... — read more 

I am just wondering if former BFDS employes layed off on June 26th are having success finding a new job? I would appreciate any input, or guidence with what you have been dealing with for the past two months. All my best to my BFDS/DST/SS&C fellow... — read more 

There’s been mention of additional layoffs over the last few months of 2018. Does anyone know if this applies only to those who received a delayed severance (those informed in July they would receive their severance if they stayed until October, for... — read more 

Looks like a lot of people got stock option grants. There's some confusion about who all got them. Looks like level 4 and above? Vest 25% after a year and then every month for 36 months.

Two gone this morning. Not sure of the circumstances yet, but hearing both gave notice and were ushered out of the building. Walked by one person's desk and appears she was prepared to leave as personal items that were there recently were gone.

Who will the CTO be when layoffs are complete? Seems redundant to have a CTO for both. They already consolidated finance.

With little to no layoff chatter here, does it mean we are in the clear? At least for a while? I'm certainly hoping so.

I'm just a "hanger on" continuing to hang on. Well, hang out actually. Cashing checks, chillin. Anyone working overtime for these fools is a chump. BUT pay and vacation are to good to walk away from. Who knows, I may even survive the culling. Just... — read more

Michigan office to close 12/30/2018, most will be let go with the exception of those staying until 12/1/18. Managers will be kept on as remote employees.

Has anyone heard that DST Health is being sold to Amazon?

During the town hall Stone said "treate people how you would want to be treated. If they sue you they sue you, so what". Either Stone considers employees less then human or he likes to be treated like tra$h to be taken out every other quarter.

Cuts will happen. Bill wants to take SSnC to take over ALL the administrative expenses like HR, IT, Facilities, Legal, etc by next year. He will keep a small team to administer his plan. Then all offices, worldwide will need to be consolidated. Any... — read more 

SS & C just announced the purchase of another Boston based financial software company. I see a trend developing.

Anyone know if HR or company will accept a voluntary layoff? Having been here 20+ years was hoping for layoff with severance instead of quitting.

How long does it usually take to receive severance payment after being laid off?
