Anyone else not having the conversation with their manager today even though July 28th is the deadline? What the heck is going on with this place?
Layoff Portal - can't open documents JavaScript error
Laid off on 7/21. Created layoff Portal, see my docs. Popup blocker of OFF as instructed. Tried on 2 PCs, WINDOWS 10 & 11. Same experience. Docs 'refresh when clicked to open and I get a Javascript error: ... — read more
Walking away was so worth it
You know that moment when your old team suddenly needs three people to do the job you were doing solo? Well, it happened. Management never listened, never cared, until I finally walked away last month. Now they're scrambling. I feel for my teammates... — read more
Technology leadership at BNY
How strong is the team ? One tech leader just left for an energy company .
Unfair rating
I see many posts on people getting unfair below or partial meets. Has anyone ever fought an on track mid year? My Review goes on and on about going above and beyond and doing outstanding work but than rating is an on track.
News networks
We need to get the news investigation teams involved. Make them aware of the unethical practices being done.
Layoffs
August layoffs?
Did July layoffs in 240G already happen?
Weird vibes in the office lately. Any insight on when layoffs are happening is helpful.
BK stock over $100
And solely built off human sacrifices to the Robin war bird banking God worshipped by investors and traders. This is not ‘growth’ only pump and dump.
Tired
BNY is pushing me to eternal rest just to be ‘client obsessed’
5 days from office
I heard a rumor about full RTO starting from 1st January 2026. Can anyone confirm?
BNY Executive Strategy
Between compensation budget cuts, site closures, we-ponized HR practices targeting older employees, inflated quotas for ‘below expectations’ reviews, pressure on managers to manufacture PIP documentation, a verbal-only push to performance-manage... — read more
July layoffs?
Did they happen?
Customer service failures
We're losing reputation and customers because we've outsourced too much and the result is a disaster. Getting cheaper employees in other countries will end up costing us much more when all is said and done.
SVPs and up just need someone to blame….
I posted this as a comment on another thread but I just want to hear everyone else’s opinions. I’ve been here for about 2 years now. I’m lucky to have a job but man does it su-k having to come in 3-4 days a week just to sit at a desk on calls with... — read more
As an incoming analyst, should I be worried?
I've seen a lot of posts here and across Reddit describing how terrible it is to work at this company, and that it's only getting worse. Common complaints include outsourcing to India, toxic workplace culture, lazy employees, and no bonuses. I'm... — read more
Have come to absolutely hate this place
Its not only higher ups who have made it unbearable but the team members as well who absolutely have no work ethic and never do their job or show up and Hr lets them get away with it. Hate all you ba----ds
Not enough people doing actual work
Feels like there are way too many people just focused on meetings and reports instead of actual work. Lots of folks trying to cut perks and push people out instead of helping. The worst part is how it slows everything down and makes things harder for... — read more
This is getting ugly
The last 2 months or so I had little interest in this site anymore. It had consumed me even though what everyone was saying was going on was and still is true. Just tonight I have been going through posts and comments and I’ve only seen it become... — read more
We-ponizing HR Policies to Promote Displacement Goals
Almost everyone who posts on this site rails about the corporate site leadership practices that continue to manifest almost daily at most of our global site locations. If you haven't quite yet figured out what's going on, you may want to consider... — read more
Wilm, DE Commuter Survey
Does anyone know the purpose of the random Wilm, DE Commuter Survey? I’m too suspicious to fill it in. Are they thinking of making us go back all day? Are they using this for layoffs? Are they going to make us move sooner then expected?
Are we still pretending RTO was ever about productivity?
We should all know by now what RTO was really about - control. More importantly, it was designed to make as many people quit on their own as possible. Every new level of ridiculousness or barely manageable policy they roll out is just to gaslight you... — read more
Nobody should feel safe at BNY
One thing I’ve learned the hard way is to never get too comfortable. Always have your resume ready and your network warm. The game can change overnight, and nobody gives you a heads-up. Treat this job like a stepping stone, not a safety net. That... — read more
Required ratings for promotions
Does anyone know what ratings you need to be promoted this year? At the mid-year review, is it mandatory to get Tracking to Exceed Expectations, or can people still get promoted if they get only On-Track? Also, how much does it matter if you get... — read more
Unite against BNY
What can we all do as employees to stand against this terrible mgmt and company they have become? We really should mass report to our local EOE, ethics and anyone else. Make sh-t difficult for them. Dont train those who you know are being prepped to... — read more
Tracking towards below expectations
I had my mid- year review today and was told I will be ranked as tracking towards below expectations. I don’t agree with it and have written evidence that disproves the points my manager raised. Does anyone know what happens next? If I don’t... — read more
Putting RTO into perspective
I’m sure anyone with half a functioning brain already knows the lunacy behind RTO mandates and the reality behind them (hoping for natural staff reduction without severance). But to put this idiocy into perspective, I witnessed two people having a... — read more
Laying off in New York office?
Anyone hear about layoffs happening in 240 Greenwich St? I’m pretty new to the company roughly 2 years in an entry to mid level role…. Worried about my job being affected. Or do they go after the big dogs first since more $$$? Which offices are... — read more
Wellesley to Boston to Nashua?
That is the rumor I am hearing for the ex-Eagle team. Last year BNY hired consultants that recommended that they close the Wellesley office (which now sits vacant but is still under BNY lease) and move them to Boston forecasting a voluntary... — read more
Chief Solutions Innovations and Product Officer?
How’s it shaping up? Any deets? All the large exist from Digital every week now? With AS gone from Growth ventures and whatever happened to the team that’s now under her? What’s the plan? What’s the field like? Organized? Madness ? Chaotic? Good? — read more
M&A? RV is a pathological liar
Focused on organice growth? What does that mean? The right merger candidate has to fit with our culture? What culture? The culture of Hannibal Leckter ? This place is in trouble and a merger is the only way to save face. NT needs to resist this. //... — read more
New to BNY am I sc--wed here
Joined BNY as an associate developer in February. Haven’t had many interactions with my manager. I know reviews are coming up and I feel I’m doing a good job. I push more code than the senior associates and vp developers on my time some sprints... — read more

During mid year reviews...
Everyone should ask their manager to tell the manager's manager to get the message to an EC member that 2% or less raises next year are not acceptable. If everyone makes a stink about 2% or less raises, then hopefully the raises next year will be... — read more
Finance took some hits this week.
Extremely heartbreaking to watch good employees being let go.
BNY severance
I was asked to relocate to be able to work 4 days in office or I would be offered a severance package. Does anyone know what BNY offers for a severance package? Im just curios what that might look like.
BTS CALL CENTER
What’s the scoop on this EXL partnership email that was sent on 7/11? Is the bts call center being faded away?
Q2 2025 Results are in!
Quick summary: We lined our pockets so yours remain empty. Enjoy the free tshirt and coffee! RV
I volunteer as tribute!
Lay me off, I'm begging you!
What's even the point anymore
The goal seems to be to replace all of us as cheaply as possible. Watching your job get handed off while you're expected to train the replacement is not something I want to do. I'm now wondering how long before sending so much stuff overseas comes... — read more
