Goldman Sachs is preparing for another round of layoffs as part of a sweeping corporate overhaul driven by artificial intelligence, CEO David Solomon’s management team told staff in a companywide memo obtained by The Post.

The Wall Street powerhouse will “constrain headcount growth through the end of the year” and carry out a “limited reduction in roles across the firm,” according to the Tuesday memo — the same day the bank reported record third-quarter profits.

“Even when the business is performing well, we have an obligation to review our operations carefully and position the firm for the future,” Goldman management wrote.

“We don’t take these decisions lightly, but this process is part of the long-term dynamism our shareholders, clients, and people expect of Goldman Sachs.”

Goldman’s global headcount stood at 48,300 as of Sept. 30, nearly 2,000 more than a year earlier.

“The firm will finish the year with a net increase in headcount overall,” Jennifer Zuccarelli, a Goldman spokesperson, told The Post. (Read more from “Goldman Sachs Warns of Looming Layoffs as AI Reshapes Wall Street Giant’s Operations” HERE)

Rainbow-colored pamphlets advising “bring your authentic self” have lately appeared over cubicles at Goldman Sachs, coaching employees on the proper use of gender pronouns — and some bankers are reeling over the hypocrisy.

The pamphlet advises in addition to “she/her/hers/herself,” “he/him/his/himself” and the gender-neutral “they/them/their/themself” that another set of gender neutral pronouns is “ze/zir (zem) / zirs (zes) / zirself (zemself).”

Examples in a column to the right: “Ze went to the store. I spoke with zir / zem. The apple was zirs / zes.”

But some insiders say the posturing of Goldman — whose offices at 200 West. St. have long been run by old-school, testosterone-fueled, steak-eating males — embracing “woke” values is too much to stomach.

Goldman’s new message of acceptance and support looks especially phony given the mega-bank’s efforts to hush up accusations from thousands of women that sexism is rampant at the firm, employees gripe.

. . .Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer David Solomon issued the latest ultimatum Thursday from Davos. Wall Street’s biggest underwriter of initial public offerings in the U.S. will no longer take a company public in the U.S. and Europe if it lacks a director who is either female or diverse. Asia is not yet included in the firm’s new policy.

The mandate is the latest in a series of signals that non-diverse boards and management are unacceptable. BlackRock Inc. and State Street Global Advisors are voting against directors at companies without a female director. Public companies with all-male boards based in California now face a $100,000 fine under a new state law.

“It’s what big investors are looking for these days,” said Fred Foulkes, a management professor at the Boston University Questrom School of Business. “If the board has all white males, that’s a big negative.”

Goldman Sachs acknowledged that “diversity” has other meanings around the world — including in Asia, where racial dynamics are different and gender disparities are sometimes even more glaring. The company said in a statement Friday that it intends to eventually expand its board-diversity mandate beyond the U.S. and Europe.

The corporate board has become a rare bright spot for gender and racial diversity at the highest echelons of corporate America. Almost half of the open spots at S&P 500 companies went to women last year, and for the first time they made up more than a quarter of all directors. In July, the last all-male board in the S&P 500 appointed a woman. (Read more from “Goldman to Refuse IPOs If All Directors Are White, Straight Men” HERE)
