While in between jobs, if you are healthy, would make sense to bypass paying the health insurance premiums until you land a new job. However, not having health insurance is illegal in NY, NJ and probably other liberal states. Can the state catch you... — read more 

What is true and what is a lie - is there a mandatory requirement for in office hours in FL? Management claims they don't understand the policy. Some say no requirement, login and work, others say 4 hours, the some say 8. Hard to follow the rules... — read more 

I’m thoroughly confused right now. There’s so much information flying around that I can’t tell what’s true, what’s just wishful thinking, and what’s straight-up trolling.

If I haven't been laid off at this point in the day, did I survive? Or is the hammer just dropping later? For context I'm one of those "partially meets" folks

I wish them luck, and I hope they have already found a better job. I’m stuck here for now, can’t afford to spend any energy on job search and I definitely can’t quit. Just having bad times, and my priority right now is to keep this job for as long as... — read more 

2024 was a horrible year. I figured out that I was on the rif list and my potential layoff was continuously delayed. Major drama in my team and department. In January, I decided to accelerate my job search. I applied to 135 jobs and did 40 interviews... — read more 

Coming?

It's certainly not going to lock down your job. To stay in the game, you’ve got to play the political side of things. No one works alone. It's all about working well with others. If you can’t get along with your team or the higher-ups, it’s a red... — read more 

Any thoughts on how you tackle the absolute gut wrenching feeling of facing Mondays in this horridly toxic place? Pretending to be all okay when I want to run away from people as if they had the plague? Pretending to “get it” “understand” the... — read more 

I’ve been at the bank for a bit and every question I’ve ever asked HR was too complicated for them. At most companies HR gets a lot of blame that really isn’t their fault, I ask older employees and they respond with “hr is useless, don’t even... — read more 

I’ve heard of so many colleagues here get laid off only to have no options but to come back here at a lower pay. And they get laid off again! I’ve had a good career here, really built my network up, and have rose through the ranks to SVP from entry... — read more 

You are a loser if you stay here. Only exceptions are: people in their late 50’s - early 60’s looking to cash out, people fresh out of college and … India low cost/ low self worth. All the rest? You lose. Robin thinks you are nothing. This place is a... — read more 

How does this company think they look with all these bs layoffs they keep doing and the turnover? Its not a flex. They look so bad and nobody should work here or do business with this place. Its awful

Can someone confirm?

I hate you Robin. i hate you BNY board i hate you BNY team mates i hate you depressing office i hate my role here You all su-k … please destroy me, give me a package and send my job to India. This company is the worst. Dont appy here!

Is there any clear breakdown of what each role in P-M is supposed to do? Seems like some folks with the Solution Architect title are trying to run the whole show at Pershing. What’s the deal with the Engineers Head and Group Engineers then?

Seems to me the 2-week recharge is code for polish your resume because you'll need to use it soon. BNY has a great record for hiring good talent and then ushering them out the door. The good news is, it will add years to your life for those that are... — read more

They say before a big layoff there is a list… is your manager told ahead of time? Maybe it depends on the level, but when they say they don’t know anything are they telling the truth?

We are a sweat shop. Turnover is insane. Everyone who knows anything is being pushed out the door, because knowledge is costly. We work like drones, while half of the time is being spent on procedures, forms and meetings about nothing. Managers are... — read more 

Mine was so off that I’m sure I’m on some ‘to be booted’ list. I’m not saying I’m the employee of the month, but I’m definitely not as bad as the review indicates. I guess any excuse is a good excuse to push people out. — read more 

Bny senior mgmt always looking for opportunities to fire people without severance. Very evil people. No wonder the CEO needs to have a bodyguard everywhere he goes. Lots of lawsuits! Do not join this firm.

Does anyone know when employees will be notified of promotions?

I’m wondering how next year will play out. Should we brace for layoffs in the first quarter, or will we get a brief reprieve before they start cutting people again? It’s sad that the question has shifted from "Will there be layoffs?" to "When will... — read more

Does anyone know if the raise/bonus pools are up,down or the same?

Give it to me straight - how likely is it that I’m getting laid off if I just got a partial YE review ?

If you came here looking for good pay, career opportunities, and reasonable hours, you’re in for a disappointment. If you have hopes or expectations, they’ll just squeeze the last drop of energy you have and then unceremoniously kick you to the curb... — read more 

Why are year end reviews being delayed until January for Pershing. Is this related to the p-m strategy and expected layoffs

Hello, does anyone have the salary bands for J and K in Manchester, UK. On only £41500, was wondering if right at the bottom of the band.

Got the dreaded partially meets and am fully expecting to be part of a RIF within Q1 of ‘25, any idea as to when?

Has anyone accepted a counteroffer to your resignation from BNY with any of the promises coming to fruition?

Another FYI with expectations on P*M updates but nothing new. Same slide and one with a few names / pics. One interesting point in a timeline slide - there is some "HR work" happening in Feb. Sounds familiar? Is to be interpreted as a month for RIF?... — read more
