Layoffs Watch '12: Goldman Sachs
The cuts aren't said to be too significant though the people who'll no longer be receiving quality Cohn-crotch time are unlikely to see it that way.
Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street bank that generated 58 percent of first-half revenue from sales and trading, eliminated 20 to 30 jobs in that division this week, according to a person briefed on the matter. The cuts affected salespeople and traders in the U.S., with most taking place in New York, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the reductions aren’t being announced publicly. The decision is part of a continuous review of staffing levels amid difficult markets, the person said.
