Across the company’s nationwide offices, about 360 workers are expected to lose their jobs, with 252 of those staffers from the Boston and Quincy locations.
This comes on the heels of State Street’s last major cut in October, when 600 workers were laid off, and BBJ reports that more employees may be let go in the coming months as the Beacon Program is implemented.
Despite the layoffs, State Street is growing. The company employed 12,902 people in the Bay State this year, up from 11,953 in 2014.
