Attrition is out of control. Who needs layoffs when people are voluntarily leaving in droves?

Other firms with cloud solutions have added $100M in revenues through organic growth… how’s ye ole technology stack comparing these days? Awd gonna make the turn andbe a success? 20 sales people * 0 product value = 0.

So sorry if it happens, SSC is where tech goes to die…

Focal merit was low and did expect much. Don’t bother with even getting a match on donations as the make a bunch of excuses to not match. $10k match on donating is a joke and you are better off not giving

Is it true more cuts are expected before the end of the year?

Now and in the future. Even when Delta is no longer an issue. If they want to force me, tough luck. I'd rather leave than commute for two hours again each day. I enjoy my newfound free time too much to give it up again. They can't complain about... —  read more

There is already a thread below about layoffs but I wonder if there are any new rumors going around? The atmosphere is very tense and the motivation has never been worse, as far as I can tell.

Last April / May ALL UK based project managers were made redundant (or Severance Agreement for an additional % as HR weren’t capable of managing wide scale redundancies throughout), along with many network resources being offshored to a state of the... —  read more 

Has anyone heard how this will be enforced or more details, outside of the email communication late last week?

The environment at DST since the SS&C takeover seemed promising. There was talk of rewards for hard work and the ability to have a career path. It has evolved into an environment where the hard work has no reward and the promises of financial... —  read more 

Nice of Billy Boy to outline our flexible return-to-office approach for colleagues in the UK Employees will generally work flexibly, with a combination of work-from-home and in-office environments. Most of you can expect to work from an SS&C... —  read more

The Health Solutions side is going out of business. Do not believe them. They are working to divest this division now. If you want to be laid off soon, keep believing them saying all is well. They are working with a divesture company now to shut... —  read more

This way of managing a company is, in my opinion, very short–sighted. They are literally blinded by worrying about the stock price only and don’t see the bigger picture at all. Just my two cents. I started sending applications to as many open... —  read more 

How certain can we be that layoffs are done - at least for the time being? This has been stressful several days and I can't relax even though its weekend. I hate that my work is affecting me as much as it is, but there's very little I can do to... —  read more 

After 15 years I’ve been laid off from the company and it’s not enough to say I’m just disappointed. I am more than disappointed. I had much better offers at the time, but back then they did everything to keep me. What a mistake, because I could have... —  read more

Just curious did anyone here get a raise above 1%. They want you to keep up your numbers and work hard but not much of a motive if all you get is a sh–ty raise every year.

I have been overwhelmed with work for months, so much so that I have almost totally neglected my family and private life. Terrible. I thought it was a passing phase, however day by day I have more and more work to do so I can freely say I work all... —  read more 

Have you heard anything about March RIFs?

This organization is a terrible place to work.

Anyone heard anything on this front? Last few years they've been awarded in December, guessing by the complete radio silence that's yet another 'benefit' to get eroded this year...

In all seriousness can anyone tell me what they enjoy about the company? My wife was telling me what she loved about her job and the company she works for. I felt envious that she enjoys her work so much. I wish I could say the same. For the life of... —  read more

Not sure how much the company is impacted by covid 19. I'm not being paid fairly, and my raise is a joke. What about you guys?

So instead of giving you your normal PTO bucket, such as 4 weeks a year or whatever, you can request anytime you want depending on business need. So in my opinion they are screwing you out of your vacation for those of us with high tenure. ... —  read more
