I believe HSBC is Buffalo’s largest private employer. Its office tower anchors downtown and let’s not forget HSBC Arena. This does not bode well.

I moved away from Buffalo in July 2009. I miss the food and the people but not much else. I did enjoy several events at the arena and I will never forget the Jim Kelly years. I’ve yet to find a pizza that rivals anything in Buffalo.

Yep, HSBC has been a presence in WNY for a long time, though under different names. Even the hockey arena has the bank name, although probably not for much longer. I'm not sure how many of these layoffs will happen in WNY, but I'm sure it will be a large figure. And of course, this is an area that can't afford more layoffs.
