Anyone else hearing rumblings? If I was only hearing it from one or two people I wouldn't give it a second thought, but have heard from a few including a client this morning.
Its not fair, layoffs and payouts to management
Its not fair that management got huge multi million dollar payouts. It should have gone to our retirement funds for long time workers and retirees. People who barely worked at dst made 20+ million in payouts
Will management or ordinary get layed off next?
It seem management should bear the brunt of cut backs. Ordinary folk do all the needed work. Any xmas party planned?
How bout them "stock grants"
If that wasn't a load of poo...
Ss&c wants higher rev/margins

2019 Performance Review Merits
Welp if you were expecting even a reasonable increase in pay this merit cycle that so called was to get in-line with the SS&C performance cycle. You will be very disappointed. The merit increases will be penny’s meaning if you were rated a 4 or even... — read more
How did valaent lawsuit turn out?
What a joke of a plan choice.
Dst was sure to layoff everyone
Its staff were just pawns to make the executives milliions in stock option profits. Execs never cared about regular staff
Circling the Drain
Well if attrition is what they want, that's what they're going to get more of this time around. But it's the same old DST song. The people with options left a long, looooooong time ago. Now you have the disengaged hangers, who don't really know or do... — read more

Thanks for all the fishes!
One user posted this on their last day. Google it, interesting read.
Video update
The video by Mike S this week was a joke. No useful information. They are sticking with the BS excuses for no raises.
We need to start cutting dead weight in management
Why keep VPs, Directors and Managers that are part of the reason things are so bad. If you keep doing the same thing you will get the same results. Come on new guy, get it in gear and start cutting dead weight. Don’t fall for their ideas. They didn’t... — read more
Two weeks severance???
Is it true everybody at DST now receives only two weeks of severance?
Goodbye old guard
Recently heard after a--&C Health progress update - If you are a 10+ year employee you are part of the problem. Get out now and leave on your own terms or SS&C will show you the door with just a 2 week severance. Clients don’t want you and neither... — read more
Dst is gutted by layoffs and closings
DST now means done, shuttered, terminated. It used to mean "dont stay there". Which was good advice back then!
"What could we do to make you stay"
Well that's a loaded question. Was asked that recently and turned them down. Too many factors many of which they won't fix.
Ss&c health who's buying?
Word on the street is the new healthcare ceo got mr bs a seat at the dinner table with ibm. Lots of medical data on the heathcare side of ss&c for data analytics. Ss&c lacks the innovation and talent to put it to use. If only a company existed like... — read more

DSTPS management on their way out.
CEO is gone. VP (buddy of CEO) was promoted to take CEO’s place by the CEO before leaving, has given notice. More managers will be joining them. SS&C is wise to clean house on Managent level.
Winchester for sale?
Heard a rumor today that Winchester is being sold....anyone heard this?
New tenant in BWB?
I think DST is supposed to be out of BWB by the end of the year. Wonder if the building will be a potential landing spot for Waddell now that they have announced they are looking to move? Could be a bitter pill for the former DST folks working there... — read more
Dst signage and logo gone. No more Dst
Dst has now faded away into obscurity. It is no more. With a decade all the Dst code will be replaced. Dst is gone
July 1st
July 1st is approaching. If no major layoffs by then it will have been a whole year anticipating when the next major RIF is without it happening. In my book that put's Stone a step above Hooley. Time will tell just how good of a ceo he is not only... — read more
SS&C/DST canton lay-off
There is a--&C/DST Canton location 5/31/19 lay-off WARN notice for 75 people
Branding Change to SS&C, is DST Truly Gone Now?
Finally they're dropping "DST" entirely, and the wheel turns.
Layoffs and DST closing is a blessing
DST was always known as a sweatshop with poor management, and abusive management. Nowdays some of the stunts the managers pulled would be considered "hostile work environment" and there would be lawsuits filed. DST could have been a much bigger and... — read more
Sungard
Any layoffs going to sungard? I was hired in the 1979 era, there were no non competes. Left dst about 1998 and helped them with escheatment. It was a good place
Quincy office relocation?
Anyone else hearing that discussions are taking place that the Quincy office staff could be relocating into Boston around the beginning of the Fall? Lease buyout is being negotiated.
Long term career at DST?
Does anybody still believes there is such a thing? Both older and newer employees - do you think a long term career is still a viable thing at DST?
Why layoffs when hundreds of millions in stock given away
Executives of Dst made hundreds of millions in stock grants and options over the years. Why? Dst could have hired local bankers, financial ceo's, from other companies here in town for much less. Dst always had thr highest executive pay of any local... — read more
This is just the start
The sad part is the hurt is only begining. Large successful companies get that way by providing innovative services or products. Like every established company the innovation fade's over time. Stone is making a good attemp to keep it going by... — read more
This is a recipe for failure
Two people started working in our department in April as replacements for a few who decided to leave this mess on their own, and I'm appalled at how little they know and how little they're trying to learn. Is this where we are now? Is this the best... — read more
SS&C earnings call with analysts
Lots of discussion about DST https://seekingalpha.com/article/4258311-ss-and-c-technologies-holdings-inc-ssnc-ceo-bill-stone-q1-2019-results-earnings-call
DST needs to stop getting rid of people
We can't lose anymore people and continue to function properly. Too many people have been laid off, too many have left on their own, and too few were brought in to replace them. We are doing the work of two-three people each and if we have to pick up... — read more
Dst layoffs as they dont care
Dont be fooled. Dst never cared for rank and file. Only top, self serving execs
