Goldman Sachs plans fresh round of job cuts by next month

Goldman Sachs plans to cut jobs as part of its annual evaluation of staff, with reductions expected to be at the lower end of its typical 1% to 5% range. CEO David Solomon announced the resumption of performance-based job cuts after halting them during the pandemic, with further cuts likely in late 2023. This evaluation also aids in determining end-of-year compensation decisions. While initial lists of potential cuts have been drafted, final numbers are still being determined, and there has been no official confirmation from Goldman Sachs.
