I used to work for Tishman Speyer until I got let go last year because my position was no “longer needed”. The day I was let go and days after, 155 people were let go from various positions including admins, managers and directors. This has been going on with this company since summer of last year and it rampped up during the fall and winter. To this day it continues. What I dont get is this company lets go of the people who really work but keep 30-60 managing directors who do nothing but have their admins fetch their lunches for them or they stay in their offices all day and do nothing. Not sure how these people justify their pay. Oh I know how- theres a saying in tishman. These people are FOJ’s. These managing directors know nothing about how to treat tenants, yet they still have jobs. Go figure! The little people are the ones who are being taken to the slaughterhouse. I feel sorry for all my former coworkers who are still there walking on eggshells every day. The boondoggle that sty town has become is another testament of this company trying to buy property and bullying people to pay market rent. I hope this recession continues for a few more yrs cuz all those people working for tishman will be working for me.

LAYOFFS AT TISHMAN SPEYER> ANALYSTS BEWARE. INVESTORS HAVE BEGUN TO BAIL. As a current employee, I can testify that layoffs commenced close to a year ago in 2008 – there have been well over a dozen documented rounds of global layoffs. These have included several senior management staff and Investment Committee members. For those of us who still walk on eggshells daily, rumors of the India and China offices closing seem imminent. These will dramatically spike the layoff numbers, which are already well over 25% of our global staff. I predict a bleak year for those of us still affiliated with TS in 2009 and recommend looking elsewhere.

I’m the first to comment on this article, after it has been here for 4 months. I guess you guys never visited Tishman Speyer’s website & saw the properties they have acquired over the years, the magnificent of the buildings & the sheer magnitude of their port folio. Am I the only true romantic when it comes to Real Estate still alive, have all the wanna be get rich quick trill seekers disappeared? Well good riddance, I’m in this for life. I am working on buying my first apartment building & hope to do so in the next 3 months. By the way Mr. Tishman if you read this I’m willing to work for free. You can reach me at elvin@goldeneyeinvestments.com or 201-463-8354 Cell.

This is a great article & yes I was Drooling too over the properties they own. My goal is to own a sky scraper by 45 however I think it may happen 10 years sooner. Wish me luck!
