In 1979 the joke was Dst stood for "don't stay there", and anyone wanting to be appreciated did not stay at dst. Dst is toxic. The layoffs effect the hang on group that should have never stayed 20 yrs. Sadly some made it their whole career, while surrounded with better quality firms all over town

Anyone that worked at dst heard the don't stay there joke. It was initially called datasystance, however people thought it a computer date match service, so it was shortened to dst. Now it means nothing. All code ever developed will be changed, all forms modified, all that work will be discarded, client change, it's soon to be like the deck chairs on the titanic, forgotten
what he said below. time to move on, DST is still a great place for many people.
Liar it never meant “ don’t stay here” just because you are butt hurt for being laid off is no reason to badmouths a company. Layoffs can happen no matter where you work these days. I been at dst for almost 20 years. Pay could be better but other than that it’s been a fairly good place to work and if I get laid off so what. With my tenor it’s a fat layoff check and I’ll be laughing all the way to the bank
You sound bitter.
Why stay? it's easy to shine when the real talent leaves. Where do you think the stellar management comes from? DST had more than one director with high school dipoma as their terminal degree!
I'll just leave this here:
