401Kwire.com says DST is expected to let hundreds of people go by June 29. DST management did not respond to requests for comments.

Is it just me, or has bullying by management at DST reach a new high? It feels to me like those on top are putting pressure on people to quit on their own in order to reduce the number of those who will be laid off - and in turn save significantly on... — read more 

Heard rumors that they may start even phasing people out this week at one point due to the size of the amount of people being laid off. But like I said just "heard" and nothing guarantee. Who k knows at this point anymore what these yahoos are... — read more 

Only this time one that will get rid of all the incompetent and lazy employees who are a dead weight on the company. Most of the time those who are laid off are among the best workers who have been with the company the longest and earn the most... — read more

All the postings here that speculate on the date for the next big DST layoff focus on June 20 and on. I am yet to see somebody say anything about this week. Which means that at least for one week, we can relax and start stressing again come next... — read more 

In fact, I see jobs posted.

I keep hearing that the layoff will be June 20th 2018 .. over 1200 ppl. I’m ready .

according to the warn act, a layoff has to include 50 or more people in a given location and does not include part-time or contract employees. I'm sure they stay just under that limit so they don't have to publicize that the layoff is coming. not... — read more

It seems to me that SS&C has already given us some indicators of what will happen. Go to their website and ready the press release regarding the acquisition. SS&C expects $150 million of run-rate cost savings annually, achieved BY 2020. How do you... — read more 

Will DST become SS&C Technologies or will they keep this entity as DST? Also SS&C is “business casual”. 😳

We lost two of the more well respected people in our group. One gave her two week notice on a Friday just before the end of January. She ended up getting a call at home on Sunday night informing her she wouldn't be allowed in the building come... — read more 

I would instead of continuing on responding on here on DST's do a search for SS&C's actual site on the layoffs site and start posting and responding to that one instead. SS & C folks are already whining about being burnt out apparently and someone's... — read more

What do you hear about layoffs in Denver?

The signs are there. We had a hiring freeze per SS&C then they lifted the freeze a few days later and canceled interviews were rescheduled. . Strange

The new company has not made payments for the DST shares and won't identify why the delay...indicator or attitude of management continues.

May begins next week, hold tight and watch what happens.

anyone hear any new news?

OK. I’ll say it. Every former BFDS employee right up through some of the most senior are all enjoying the reaction from DST HR to the SS&C sale. They were all so smug and condescending towards former BFDS employees. They were even overheard while out... — read more
