Layoffs Watchs: Standard and Poor’s

By

From the files of the “maybe we never should’ve gotten into this in the first place” department: the RMBS group at the S&P has supposedly informed the would-be incoming Associate MBA class that their services are no longer required. Additionally, a “bunch” of research assistants, “some” MDs and one director have been downgraded from “career watch negative” to “dismissed.”

      Update on the downgraded comment: in view of the uncertain labor market it is now being assigned a B+ rating.

      “downgraded comment”: in view of the recent execution of rightsizing head counts in the financial industry it is now being put on negative watch.

      incoming MBAs at the rating agencies are not “associates”, i think you have “the S&P” confused with an investment bank perhaps.

      “downgraded comment” in view of Moodys big price drop today, the comment is now being assigned to junk. The reasoning: the top brass at all ratings agencies should have all being fired.

      Maybe we can get CNBC’s on airhead editor and otherwise financial genius Chuck Gasbagarino to predict “more cuts” at S&P. Since he is always wrong, we might actually have some good news here.

      The layoffs at S&P are to compensate for the extra lawyers they have to hire. Moody’s is in the same boat.

      MBA recruits are associates at S&P and the 2007 MBA class was wiped out. 246 total employees will be let go. The rumor is that 150 were in structured. RMBS and CDOs were hit the worst (no surprise).
      It’s great to see some agency news on this site….

      I almost never comment, however i did a few searching and wound up here Layoffs Watchs: Standard and Poor’s Dealbreaker: Wall Street Insider – Financial News, Headlines, Commentary and Analysis – Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Banks. And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be simply me or does it give the impression like some of these remarks appear like left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on additional social sites, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of all of all your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

      I want to get across my respect for your kind-heartedness supporting all those that need help with this particular theme. Your very own commitment to getting the message across became remarkably productive and has consistently allowed workers much like me to get to their pursuits. The valuable instruction denotes this much to me and extremely more to my mates. Best wishes; from all of us.
