While Over At Credit Suisse

October 28, 2010

Talk about "LOW."  Credit Suisse may lay off as many as 250 employees in New York City in the next few months - layoffs began 9/22, and continue through year's-end.  The bank cited economic reasons for the cuts.

Officials at the New York State Department of Labor were alerted last Thursday, the same day the bank reported a 74% drop in Q3 earnings.  Weak performance at the investment banking unit was a problem.  Under New York State law, big companies must provide notice to state labor officials if they plan to fire 250 or more employees.  The cuts are not the first for Credit Suisse this year.  In August, it said it would cut 75 IB and support positions in the U.K.   [NYT Dealbook, 10/27]
