跟隨華爾街“瘦身潮”!
花旗(C.US)據悉將在全公司範圍內裁員數百人,其中包括投資銀行部門。據知情人士透露,此次裁員人數不到花旗24萬員工總數的1%。該公司運營和技術部門以及美國抵押貸款承銷部門的員工也受到了影響。不過,上述知情人士說,此次例行裁員是花旗集團正常業務規劃的一部分。目前還沒有全面授權管理人員裁員;相反,各部門一直在努力解決裁員的不同原因。
在技術部門,花旗集團近年來花費了數十億美元升級其底層基礎設施。花旗首席執行官Jane Fraser一直表示,這些投資最終將使銀行減少對人工流程的依賴。Fraser在1月份表示:“隨着我們在轉型和控制計劃方面的投資的成熟,我們希望這些項目從人工密集型流程過渡到技術支持的流程,從而實現效率。”
另一方面,在投資銀行業務方面,高盛正努力應對全行業交易放緩的局面。業務活動的缺乏導致去年該業務收入下降53%,分析師預計第一季度還會進一步下降。
在去年已經解僱了數十名員工之後,花旗集團最近在其抵押貸款部門(主要位於密蘇裏州奧法倫)採取的行動。最近幾個月,由於房價上漲和抵押貸款利率迅速上升,抵押貸款需求有所下降。
花旗首席財務官Mark Mason今年1月表示:“我們正在積極招聘,以執行我們的戰略,但我們也在根據我們所處的環境重新調整合理的招聘節奏。我們在不斷地梳理人才,確保我們在合適的崗位上找到合適的人,在需要重組的時候,我們也會這樣做。”
就在幾周前,競爭對手摩根大通(JPM.US)裁掉了數百名抵押貸款員工。高盛集團(GS.US)今年1月啓動了有史以來規模最大的一輪裁員,計劃在全公司裁員數千人。全球最大的資產管理公司貝萊德(BLK.US)近幾個月也裁員約500人,這是自2019年以來的第一輪裁員。
知情人士透露,美國銀行(BAC.US)和花旗已在亞洲裁減了一些投行職位,加入了全球同行的裁員行列。 據兩名知情人士透露,美國銀行週四在香港裁掉了大約6個投資銀行職位,這是該行全球投行業務裁員計劃的一部分。據媒體1月報道,除了華爾街銀行,野村控股也削減了18個亞洲銀行職位,其中大部分是投資銀行職位。
