ReplyDeleteTrump's economy? MAGA! Maybe republicunts will pin it on the workers. Demorats suck too BTW. The whole system can suck my dick.
ReplyDeleteYour not giving them much to suck on...
DeleteSo. Much. Winning.
ReplyDeleteSlap a HUGE TAX on every "DST" they build overseas!
ReplyDeleteMake America Grate Again!
So how much stock did the executives and shareholders buy back to enrich themselves even more after the Trump tax cut? Do any of you dumb Republicans still believe in trickle-down?
ReplyDeleteAt least we have a streetcar.
ReplyDeleteDST isn't what it was all cracked up to be. Upon researching the company after one of their recruiters approached me proved you'd have to be desperate to want to work there.
ReplyDeleteBut unemployment is real low.
ReplyDeleteThat was last week.
DST was a job, a paycheck, make some friends. That's all. The business is an abstract service that takes a half an hour to explain. While I worked there, three people committed suicide from the futility of it all. Good riddance, move on, and hopefully the rich former executives will leave town so they don't get water thrown on them at restaurants.
ReplyDeleteI wish you had committed suicide.
DeleteNever too late, you know.
^^Republican demanding that Democrats be civil.
ReplyDeleteThe company existed to enrich it's top execs. Some made close to 100 million on stock options just given to them by the board each year. Their peers at other firms made alot less. These were local people, not Harvard grads or wall street transplants. Way over paid at the expense of shareholders. Plus they couldn't solve problems, just blame others for programming errors made years earlier. I was a worker, got blamed for a tax reporting error that was programmed when I was back in grade school by an analyst that no longet worked there. But it was my fault as my client found the error. And I was not even a programmer, don't know how to code. It was a messed up business, the new owners may sue after they realize what they really bought!
ReplyDeletedst stands for : don't stay there. Years ago, it was data-sys-tance. But people called thinking it was a dating service.
ReplyDeleteNobody that works there can explain what the fuck they do. What the fuck does that place even do? Does anybody even know?
ReplyDeleteThey do mutual fund accounting. They produce the statement tax forms, send out checks to people that sold.
ReplyDeleteWill the call girls in the securities transfer group be retained for the pleasure of the new owners? they took care of so many clients. They got right on the job when asked!
