According to the Wall Street Journal, Goldman Sachs is bracing for a massive cut, slashing 3 to 4 percent of its workforce- between 1300 to 1800 employees, as part of the bank’s annual routine process. This move reflects a larger trend among corporate giants, to constantly reduce their workforce by laying off their employees. Major companies usually do it to manage costs in economic uncertainty.

As per the report, Goldman Sachs has already begun employee cuts, likely to impact various divisions within the bank. Tony Fratto, a spokesperson for Goldman Sachs, detailed the process as normal, standard, and customary. He emphasized that annual talent reviews are a standard part of the bank’s operations. Fratto noted that the bank’s overall headcount will grow by this year’s end compared to 2023.
