Topics regarding layoffs at DST Systems

More layoffs today.....

More layoffs happening today, KC, Bangkok, India and probably others. Keeping this one on the DL for sure.

Layoff looks bad when you are looking for a job?

It’s nice without DST, but it’s also chaotic when you are failing to find your next job. I got to the interview phase in one company and I think everything went solid, but I didn’t get the job and it seems to me more and more that it’s because I... — read more 

How busy are you?

My schedule is so busy and I am so tired after work that I don't even get enough time to rest. When I talk to others, some say that their schedule is not busy at all and that they work at a very relaxed pace. I would not say that I do not know... — read more 

Accept any decent option and get out?

It’s so hard for me to start all over again, but there’s nothing left of this company anymore. I have applied for dozens of jobs so far I haven't received any offers that I am totally happy with. I was hoping to find something much better, but I’m... — read more 

Leaving Kansas City.....

With all the layoffs and now the dumping of real estate, there is even less basis to think that this is a place for stability.....time to go before the company is gone....

How do you manage to adapt to the atmosphere here?

Honestly, I never thought I would be in a position to have to work in a company like this. As an employee who gives more than 100 percent of myself, I never thought that I would ever agree to be treated as garbage. The situation is such that I will... — read more 

Will / when will the morale improve?

Layoffs will continue until the morale improves I hear that constantly, and I believe it to be so. Only, what does that really mean, what will be left of this company that used to be extraordinary? What will it be reduced to? I hope I won’t... — read more

Covid sanitation efforts in KC

Do they really wanna talk about sanitation and being squeaky clean when we got rats and mice in the building?

Do you secretly wish to be laid off?

Has anyone heard any rumors that there might be layoffs? What is the probability that there will be soon? Some say silent layoffs are happening, but that has not been confirmed. There are many reasons why I would most like to be one of the lucky... — read more 

Do you feel safer if you get a bonus?

My bonus was joke, but still, I feel somehow safer because I got it. However, I have a friend in another company who got laid off right after he got the bonus. Nothing would surprise me, but I wonder if you think the bonus is a good sign that you... — read more 

Byebye

One of the best things that could have happened was to be laid-off by this company. No more working all weekend and staying up half the night. It was not worth the effort, all you got was to do it again and again while your family suffers without... — read more

Would you rather be unemployed?

The situation is such that I have never been less motivated to work and I am sick of this company. Unemployment doesn’t seem like a bad option at all compared to working here ... that’s how degraded the employees of this company are. I would love to... — read more

Impossible demands?

No way this organization can continue to stay in business. They treat employees like abused slaves and make impossible demands. There are few clients. They treat clients as bad as employees. Hundred percent true. If they treat... — read more

SS&C Tech Leadership

Does anyone else feel like the directors and above on the ssnc tech are pretty amateur? Like they really don’t have the experience or background with the scale of apps they bought from DST? Some of the stuff I see daily is a real wtf? Anyone else... — read more

Rumors of another layoff in September

We keep hearing there is another layoff coming in September. There are not enough of us left in Health Solutions to lay off. Is this true ?

Double EBITDA but no raises again!

DST under SSNC almost doubled EBITDA from $430 to $800 million and... no merit increases this year! If you get 3% you'll be very very lucky. The business unit doubles profitablity and what do employees get? Spit in the face? A hearty eff you? Oh if... — read more

Yay we get MLK off now

MLK is now a holiday at SS&C in 2021. It’s a holiday except for the back office support people. Dang I knew it was too good to be true. 2022 MLK will not be a holiday.

Many jobs out there in the health care field.

One would think, in this difficult time, that a new job might surely be in order. There are so many opportunities out there. I heard the massive lay-off is hitting Health Solutions end of September. I’m extremely glad I made the move.
