***** LAYOFFS THREAD ***** McKinsey plans to cut 2,000 jobs in one of its biggest layoffs

Gold­man Sachs Group Inc. is plan­ning to lay off sev­eral thou­sand em­ploy­ees, ac­cord­ing to peo­ple fa­mil­iar with the mat­ter, an­other con­se­quence of this year’s deal-mak­ing slump.

A per­son fa­mil­iar with the sit­u­a­tion said the bank will be leaner in 2023, but it will still have more em­ploy­ees than it did be­fore the pan­demic. Gold­man had some 49,000 em­ploy­ees as of Sep­tember, up from about 38,000 at the end of 2019.

Gold­man also ex­pects to slash, and in some cases elim­i­nate, the an­nual bonuses of un­der­per­form­ing em­ploy­ees, peo­ple fa­mil­iar with the mat­ter said.

Like other Wall Street banks, Gold­man hired ag­gres­sively through­out 2020 and 2021, bring­ing in new em­ploy­ees to help it keep up with an M&A boom. This year was a dif­fer­ent story: An eco­nomic slow­down, war in Eu­rope and ris­ing in­ter­est rates trig­gered a bear mar­ket for stocks and a slump in deal mak­ing. Mor­gan Stan­ley also laid off work­ers this month, and sim­i­lar cut­backs have swept through cor­po­rate Amer­ica.

Some of the job cuts at Gold­man will be part of an­nual work­force re­views. In most years, Gold­man elim­i­nates un­der­per­form-ers dur­ing that process, but lay­offs were sus­pended dur­ing the pan­demic.

Tak­ing away bonuses is an­other lever that Gold­man can pull to trim ex­penses. Like most Wall Street em­ploy­ees, Gold­man staff re­ceived a large por­tion of their com­pen­sa-tion in an­nual pay­outs tied to their per­for­mance and that of the over­all firm.

Em­ploy­ees who get no bonus usu­ally in­ter­pret it as an in­vi­ta­tion to leave. Elim­i­nat­ing bonuses for highly paid part­ners and other ex­ec­u­tives can also give the bank lee­way to pre­serve com­pen­sa­tion for ju­nior bankers.

So now the trend is to not bring workers from India on H1 but rather moved the work completely to IND. seems like even more profits.
