Thread regarding DST Systems layoffs

I was laid off from DST in June, I rode it out and waited until the right job came. I just accepted a job making 30% more than I made at DST. Lets just say it would have taken another 20 years to make this much. Hold out my friends, you deserve so much more than DST offered you.

screw them... TAKE WHAT YOU CAN, if they lay you off, oh well. In the meantime, ride it out.

Ha, I intentionally write this way to p-ss off grammar nazis -sshats. Their hilarious! Annoying them is grate fun!

Dude its a layoff forum what do you expect. Not an entrance application into Harvard. Chill out. Be the grammer police elsewhere..

I hope none of you have jobs where you have to spell correctly and have good grammar. Because you’ll fail their tests. Or as you might say, Yule fell they’re test’s.

No suprise, layoffs are the companies way of manipulating quarerly earnings. Dst became dependent on layoffs, it had no choice the management that took over made one bad decision after another. If theres a layoff this year then you know ssnc is playing the same game. The fact is you can't play the game if your companies already understaffed. Hence get the word out ssnc is hiring, just don't mention it might be to subsidize there next layoff.

Um genious we are all on borrowed time. It's called life.....we live till we die till our time runs out.....if you don't like your present gig move on and find something else that makes you happier than at your last gig...otherwise adjust and make due and carry on. Quit whining on here and not doing much about it....

Reposting; this forum doesn't like ampersands apparently:

I don't know how accurate that number is but 2,500 souls is a substantial savings for the company, on the order of $250M. So good in fact, there may be no more layoffs. Consider the highest cost cutting number I ever heard was $150M. If true, that is.

The products are already in bad shape from new feature and improvement perspective. DST was a software company after all. SS and C was not. They certainly don't understand that software has to be updated periodically; for security updates, and for annual state and federal regulation changes at the minimum. You can't just halt all development and sign on new customers. Bit rot, it's a thing.
