What does it benefit the organization to have a hostile work environment?

DST mostly cuts the best people. The others are leaving here on their own or are seriously looking for a way out. Everyone would like to be in some other better company. Leadership has no serious long-term plan. There is no trust. In general, the... — read more

This thread is for info about potential DST Systems layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Working across teams I know change happened but it’s hard to understand due to not physically seeing personnel changes.

It's funny how easily we went from being able to do our jobs during our regular working hours to losing any semblance of work/life balance. This is what happens when they allow the attrition to go unchecked and they refuse to replace the people who... — read more 

Anyone heard anything about this? Heard it was to align the existing reps to the new hiring rates for off street talent. Can we talk about other areas of the company that are getting paid less than this? Huge mistake.
