Is it true we'll be seeing more layoffs as early as August? I've seen this mentioned in several places, but it's hard to believe they'd push them together so closely. It would make more sense to me to just have one major round of layoffs all at once... — read more

Anything else happening today? Saw a united armed security services van right across the street in the parking lot with cones around it so was curious...

Any layoffs at offshore DST...We are hearing bangkok got impacted

They need to get rid of all the HR reps embedded in the business units. They provide zero value.

So start looking, don't be complacent and then b--ch for the next 6 months until the next rumor of a layoff. Take some accountability for your own peace and contentment in a job. You have choices, stay and worry about the next cut or go get a better... — read more 

Before the end of 3rd or 4th quarter?

You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a VP and they add so little value to the bottom line.

As somebody said in another thread, SS&C did not buy us for the workforce. They'll barely need any of us once they finish incorporating what they want into their own system. It might take a year or two, but at least 90 percent of DST employees will... — read more 

DST has been on this path since probably 2010, if not earlier. I spent 16 years with the company, all told. I stuck around until the very first layoff in the company's history in 2011. I survived that round, but vowed to never let incompetent morons... — read more

The next round will probably hit healthcare operations harder. There are some uncorrected staffing levels in claims and claims customer support that were not addressed in this layoff. I would expect that they will allow attrition to work for 3 to 6... — read more

Were there any departments that had no layoffs?

Ask truly anonymous questions for the townhall meeting in this thread. I am sure we'll all keep quiet in the actual meeting, so let's ask questions openly here.

HR is just a shame of an operation. Supposed to help employees?!?!? Forget it. They are DEEP in the pockets of management. They have no interest in actually assisting people, just following marching orders from corporate to fire people, and then they... — read more
