If women want equal pay as if they already don't have it and want to be treated as equals which they are then why do so many get enhancements of their upper torso to "compete"
Who you competing with and what are they competing for?
Nice factual post.
There is one lense, the truth.
Those that view it as a safe haven are either so well off that a lay off is a blip to the next connected position in another big corporation.
The rest are in deep denial.
This has been going on in large form since the recession of the 80's just about the time companies started to outsource too.
The government past administrations since the 70-80's has been taking care of the well connected and greedy globalists, knowing darn well there is always a cheaper labor force.
The time is now or never, either this administration kicks out the corporate globalist greed with unfortunately by lowering corporate taxes, necessary evil and like he promised taxing companies that leave America.
Lastly and quite possibly as important CEO salary should NOT be tied to the value of its shares! It breeds fraud and lies. Wall Street analysts force the situation too, but unless snd until there is an America first policy and CEO salary not tied to shares this massive layoff will continue everywhere and we will be a third world nation within twenty years.
Look at Venezuela and Argentina they used to be models of society, they are corrupt and destitute
Look at Greece, need I give any more examples?
Austerity is knocking on our door.
Wake up ppl call your political reps demand change!.
I have come to realize that how one view's State Street depends a lot on two things:
1) What actually happened to you at State Street; and
2) Your view on the kind of work environment and society you want to live in.
In my case----after almost 2 decades of very good service with the company---I was let go. This was almost 4 years ago. I was almost 51 when this occurred. I struggle to this day to gain anything more than lower paying contract positions. I resent how I was treated by the company. I had good reviews and always was told I was doing a very good job by my supervisors. I did nothing wrong and had the rug pulled out out from under me by State Street while at the same time I noted huge pay and bonus payouts to the company's senior and executive management. Not surprisingly I have a very negative opinion of the company.
As for my view on the type of society I want to live in. It makes no sense to me that that all decisions are determined to be good or bad by being screened through only one lens---whether the company's financial objectives for Wall Street were met. There seems to be no consideration of the human toll on workers let go or on those that remain with severely increased work loads. The way I see the world---this is simply not right. Others view this differently and are okay with this "winner take all" or "survival of the fittest attitude"---not me.
The smugness that I see among those that have not been let go (yet) never ceases to amaze me. I have come to believe the only way that one can appreciate the pain and suffering that the seemingly unending string of layoffs have on real people is to go through it yourself. Experience a an unexpected layoff just as your son or daughter is starting university or your child needs extra medical attention. Sadly however I feel that some people at the company would still not understand the human cost because their souls have been ripped from them and they are no longer able to show any humanity or compassion.
I feel so empowered by this beautiful gesture enabled by State Street.
I am so grateful that money for "the Arts" went for their temporary sculpture to show women matter.
I would prefer these half empty gestures than a pay raise that would allow me to further my education.
Who needs money when you can admire art for art's sake.
Call me old fashioned but action and tangible results like promotions and pay raises would be far more beneficial and meaningful.
This reminds me of history, Marie Antoinette and her half-witted and condescending comment to the starving peasants, if they can't afford bread let them eat cake.

How much did this little social directive statue cost sst?
Enough for about 100 staffers to get a raise?
Maybe more?
I guess men need not apply!
Neutering to commence.
This is a really pathetic push globally for "girl power" as financial institutions pay money into Sharia Law
