Goldman Sachs To Cut A Few Hundred Jobs In Annual Cull: Report

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. plans to dismiss a few hundred employees in the coming weeks as part of the firm's annual cull of low-performing staff, according to people familiar with the matter.

The fresh round of firings would bring total cuts in 2024 to about 3% to 4% of the bank's workforce, with most of those reductions made earlier this year, one of the people said, asking not to be named discussing internal moves.

That's in line with the bank's typical approach as it seeks to keep a lid on costs and make room to enlist new talent. The annual exercise was briefly suspended in the middle of the Covid pandemic and was near the lower end of its typical 1% to 5% range last year.

Goldman employed 44,300 people at midyear. A company spokesperson said the bank's annual review of staff is normal and standard and that the company plans to have more employees at the end of 2024 than a year earlier.

The bank's stock climbed to an all-time high this week, rising more than 32% to surpass $510 by Friday's close of trading - making it the best performer among the top US banks. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier in the day that Goldman is carrying out its annual cull.

Eight years ago, Mr Arday was told that he would likely need to stay in an assisted living facility. The man refused to make that a reality. He used to write his lifelong goals on his mother's bedroom wall. He wrote that he wants to "work at Oxford or Cambridge." Mr Arday was born and raised in Clapham, southwest London. "As optimistic as I am, there's just no way I could have thought that would have happened. If I was a betting person, the odds on it were so long. It's just mad," he told The Times of UK . He admitted that he had "no idea" what he was doing when he first began writing academic paper
