If you got laid off, you’ll find a much better company!
Someone mentioned H1Bs. It’s deeper than that. Many in EMEA cannot get laid off due to country job protections (e.g., Italy, Germany) yet are leveraging skills from 25-30 years ago! And let’s not even talk about beefing up staff in communist China... — read more

Anyone ready to start a union yet?
We have zero power. They have it all. They take all the profits. Decrease bonuses. Increase our health care costs. There is no good news for employees ever. We have no say in anything. What would it take to start one? Is there any legal reason we... — read more

Duh!
Not sure why this is news to anyone. State Street lays off a healthy percentage of its employees at year-end EVERY YEAR. It’s part of the business model. It’s how they hold down compensation, limit advancement and make survivors grateful for their... — read more
More to come
From what I can gather, only a fraction of the 1,500 announced employees have been laid off so far. Looks like they are really waiting until January to let us know who will stay and who will go. This is not going to be a fun and enjoyable Christmas... — read more
Bonuses this year?
With all the layoffs, does this mean they’ll cut bonuses, using cost cuts as an excuse? Has anyone heard anything?

Has anybody been notified already? The entire process should be much more transparent if they don't want to see morale plummet.

Today's Ask Ron - heard there were fireworks
I skipped today's call because I wasn't in the mood to hear Ron 's BS about back to the office. I heard though that someone laid into him and it all went downhill from there . Anyone here dial in?
Employees at ss are brilliant and have way more power than you think
You are the heart and soul of a company. You are the ones making it run. Meaning; if you are not happy- the company should not be happy. Start taking back your control. It will fall.
No salary increase for over 10 years at SST
I only received one salary increase for over 10 years at SST. Most of the collogues in my department have the same misery life at STT. With effective inflation going over 10%, SST is holding employee as hostages which I believe is seriously violating... — read more

How to survive this company?

This much overwork is not okay
I notice that the management's "main job" is not only to terribly overwork us, but also to convince us that it is not much work at all. In other words, we are bad employees. How do you deal with this much stress?
