Morgan Stanley Chief Executive James Gorman suggested job cuts might be coming as senior executives assess head count at the Wall Street firm.
“You’ve got to take into account the rate of growth we’ve had in the last few years,” Gorman said Friday in a conference call with analysts after his bank reported its third-quarter results. “We’ve learned some things during Covid about how we can operate more efficiently. So that’s something the management team is working on between now and the end of the year.”
The balance of power in the job market, which had favored employees since the start of the pandemic, has begun to shift as Covid-19 cases continue to abate and financial markets slump.
Wall Street firms are stepping up pressure on workers to return to the office, and a growing number of banks are signaling plans to reinstate periodic job cuts.
