Thread regarding SS&C Technologies layoffs

I concur that a lot of companies for the most part don't really care about you. At the end of the day, you are just an employee number and an overall expense for the bottom line no matter how well you do your job. If they can save money on paying a salary plus benefits, they will find a way to eliminate that position and therefore that person from employment. SS&C has been losing some major big clients for awhile now to their competitors. So the employees they trained to work those accounts are no longer needed when the clients move on. I was told after the summer layoffs not to worry as I was a valuable member of the team and very useful. That I was a part of the team and a part of this family. All not true as my number came up to be let go due to the loss of business. So no matter how good I did my job, because the company failed to keep the client from not moving on and staying with them, I had to be expendable. It makes me feel like I didn't matter at the end. My advice to all is to keep your resume up to date because most companies, if not all companies, don't truly care about it if it can can save them money.

Well SSC and DST are both garbage companies to work for but if you have been looking since before Covid and cannot find a job paying what you think you are worth....you are overvaluing yourself or you are terrible at job searching. It is not easy but there are tons of jobs for good folks. If you are going on 3 years...look in the mirror.

easier said than done. I been looking for 3 years and everything still pays the same or less

I been looking for another job since the start of covid. have not found anything that can match my pay that i want to work at. frustrating
