I seriously think we should consider forming a union to fight so many things - the unfairness of the top (setting up services for just them with different , lesser quality services for “us” (exec IT help desk, exec free parking, their marble palace “executive floor” while we are like sardines with no privacy or enough office space, as examples), them taking almost all the profit with bad performance, the outsourcing of jobs, the freezing or cutting of reqs with those of us remaining getting hit with all the work with no ability to say no, the very limited/no raises despite crazy inflation, the changes in policy with absolutely zero recourse or employee buy in (including things like change in healthcare insurance, using our own phones & data plans vs company paid, the shift from flexible work arrangements, to personas, and now to required four days in the office - not equal between regions or even between managers with offsite locations and their employees). It’s bordering on the absurd here. We have zero power. What can we do together without getting blacklisted? Should we join forces with employees at other financial services firms like Bony, Citi, or JPM?

Let me get this straight:
- State Street executives are getting competent IT help desk service while everyone else gets the incompetent IT help desk? Sounds like they're admitting that their decision was stupid to offshore our IT jobs because they couldn't tolerate the poor service as well. But why do they even need help from IT anyways? To update their computer wallpaper? Executives only show up to meetings to be entertain by consultants.
- State Street Executives get free parking while everyone else has to pay? Why is it more important that parking is fully covered for high earning executives than to low earning workers. Executives pay for employee parking and transportation, out of their own pockets, for mandating us to be in the office.
Why is this bank that is recognized by the Federal Reserve to be an important systematic entity allowed to offshore jobs to China, India, Poland? This does not protect our North American banking system. It allows other foreign players access.

I think SST just wants more visa sponsorship than unions.
If you can see a possible future when we will be overtaken by the most powerful country in the world - come to see our wonderful h1b groups.
Tell all the State Street low level employees just work 30% slower as a silent protest.
It's too late , after 19 years of doing layoffs the number of U.S staff is very small.
The majority of workers are Contractors and H1B workers on U.S soil.
