Morgan Stanley to Cut 580 Jobs in NYC

US investment bank Morgan Stanley (MS) will cut 580 jobs at four Manhattan offices, the company said in a filing with New York State’s Department of Labor on Wednesday. The filing, known as a “WARN” notice, requires businesses under The New York State Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification [WARN] Act to give early warning of closing and layoffs.

Morgan Stanley, the investment bank whose shares have declined nearly 45% this year, filed the notice after announcing plans in mid-December to cut 1,600 jobs across all levels of the company. The decision to layoff employees came as “we conduct our year-end performance- management process and evaluate the right size of the franchise for 2012,” the company said at the time.

The cuts in New York, known as “rolling layoffs”, began on December 15, 2011.
