Another round of layoffs at DST. 34 let go on June 28. Surprised everyone especially myself. 3 people were aged 39. Everyone else was 40's 50's and 60's.
Wow
Wow. I don't know about this Julie, but that supervisor named Holly, in marketing, not only boasted of hating her job but also hating people and her attitude clearly showed it. What/who did Larry do to be made a director????? In the department I was... — read more
Almost all the people let go in our marketing department were over 50 and over half on FMLA
Almost all the people let go in our marketing department were over 50 and over half on FMLA. The stress from Julie Schlatter and other managers are the reason they were sick. Since we left, 4 of the 7 no longer have health issues, no more high blood... — read more
I was on FMLA and I am well over 40, and I also contacted a lawyer
I was on FMLA and I am well over 40, and I also contacted a lawyer. If DST gave you handout with the ages of those people terminated (and those not) it is obvious that a large % are 40 and older. How did you determine that many were on FMLA? My... — read more
I find it sad that over 40% of the people let go are over 40 and many are on FMLA
I find it sad that over 40% of the people let go are over 40 and many are on FMLA. I thought that was a federal program and I feel the employees on FMLA should contact an attorney. That is not right. Also,I contacted an attorney and found out that... — read more
\"Fun in the sun\" - I concur
\"Fun in the sun\" - I concur. That\'s what I\'ve been hearing... And that is what really sucks. I\'d expect successful cuts to be as deep as needed and swift (boom, boom, you are out, game over). Our fat cats are just dragging it way too much (just... — read more
I am glad i am at Argus
I am glad i am at Argus. A subsid. of DST. we had layoffs but it is smaller that the bulk of mainstream DST. I am only aware of 3 or 4 people in my building getting layed off. I know in one office downtown for the mutual fund part of DST they let go... — read more
More layoffs to come
More layoffs to come. They did not cut the full amount to fill the advertised 67 million savings. Look for more cuts in March or July.
Still using MK at DST Output? How much has that garbage application cost the company, not only as such, but in lost revenue?

Most of the people that were laid off should have been let go a long time ago
Most of the people that were laid off should have been let go a long time ago. Most hadn\'t been pulling their weight for years. I feel for anyone that loses their job, but in the end, you reap what you sow.
that\'s crap
that\'s crap. There were a lot of hard workers lost today. This wasn\'t all based on performance. I know quite a few people let go and some were great workers
It has begun! Once known for having no layoffs, they can no longer make that statement
It has begun! Once known for having no layoffs, they can no longer make that statement. A relative I know has been laid off. The potential number of permanent layoffs could be into the thousands at all levels including officers.
Instead of putting so many new people in the unemployment lines, why did DST not look at DRASTIC cuts so everyone could still have a position
Instead of putting so many new people in the unemployment lines, why did DST not look at DRASTIC cuts so everyone could still have a position. Interesting that the #2 Man in the company, the other Tom, retired only one month ago.
Wish my past employee friends the best
Wish my past employee friends the best. When I was laid off from DST it was final on the spot and I was escorted out of building with my personal items. Not even allowed to say good-bye to anyone. Guess my fate will also be falling on them shortly... — read more

My ex husband works for DST. Me and two boys (K and pre-K) are depending on the alimony he pays. I\'ve heard about rumors that DST will be eliminating jobs and wanted to gauge if my ex is in the potential \'to-be-laid-off\' pool. I\'d appreciate any... — read more
