Cut 3,200 jobs & gave workers 30 minutes to pack up their belongings. This is per the Daily Mail.

If there used to be any, now that job stability is definitely gone. I'm thinking of leaving GS if I'm not laid off in the meantime, but is there at least a little more stability anywhere else? I wouldn't say there is. Moreover, I am not optimistic... —  read more 

I just hope that they're done with it this week, at least for this round. I don't want to have to stress over this for who knows how long. Get it over with, rip off the band-aid, and let us all move on. The prolonged layoff will just serve to... —  read more 

Sorry for the d-mb question, but I haven't been here long so I still don't know how things work here. If I haven't received notice so far, can I consider myself safe or will the uncertainty last until the end of the week? How did you get notified?

Is there any way for us to know when the January layoffs will start? I'm hoping for next week. The sooner we get it over with, the better.

Unfortunately, layoffs are not fair and it is not at all rare that some good and capable people are laid off instead of those who do not add any value to the company. Instead of blaming yourself, go out with your head held high, because some other... —  read more

How many people will be impacted in New York offices?

I hope for the best but I expect the worst. Which department will be most impacted by these layoffs?

Some seem to be under the mistaken impression they are safe from the coming layoffs. Don't make that mistake. If layoffs here have taught me anything, that's that nobody is safe. I've seen people who've been here for decades and those who joined a... —  read more

Since a bunch of folks were laid off on Friday, I was wondering if anybody knows if the layoffs will continue this week or not?

I love my job and ever since I started working here I tried to perform as well as I can. As time goes by, I'm gradually getting disappointed because it is very obvious that a good performance is worth nothing here. Unfortunately, this is not the... —  read more 

Why do so many think that the number of impacted employees will be much higher than several hundreds? Personally, I don't believe that the scope of layoffs will be so big.

Considering the total number of employees, some say that several hundred laid off employees is not a large number. I don't agree with that. I believe that the culture, which in any case has long been dysfunctional, will be even more toxic after... —  read more
