It’s been over 20 years since I filled out a job application, and I just hit a snag. The part about contacting my current employer made me freeze. With everything feeling so unstable, I worry that if my manager finds out I'm job hunting, I might be... — read more 

Why is it okay for managers to hire people who are fully unqualified for jobs just because they either had somebody they know recommend them or they have a personal relationship with them? I'm tired of seeing people who have no idea what they're... — read more 

Anyone know what’s going on with all the random fixes in the Wilm, DE office? Like they aren’t doing any real updates. It’s still stuck in the 80’s, but it’s like they suddenly care about the building’s condition. Today they were painting the garage... — read more 

EMEA based so apologies for lack of knowledge on SUB. There is a perception in EMEA that the US is especially ruthless and people laid off get no package but I don't think thats accurate. How do layoffs work in the US?

3 years in engineering team and this year i hit a slump where i cant keep up with the changes and new direction team is going and i have a gut feeling my manager is going to fire me soon.

A few months back, I received 20yr anniversary email with $30.00 gift card link attached. I rerouted the $30.00 to someone else because it was insulting. Why bother. I did not say thank you to my mgrs. Was I supposed to???

The vast majority of employees at this place can be broken down into three categories: . New overpriced MDs or equivalent. These people are coming at a high level, have a very high paygrade, but generally don’t last more than a few years before... — read more 

It seems like something I mentioned to my manager during my mid-year review was used against me in my BK feedback, and the comment even reflects my manager’s tone. Managers, this is not how you motivate your dedicated employees.

They need to do some serious house cleaning. I don’t see any benefit coming out of the Product team. They only post on linked in and speak at conferences. The real work is handled by the technology team. Product often reaches out to Operations ... — read more 

What are these senior, very well paid new hires mean? Does anyone believe the P-M (Platform Operating Model) is really going to work? Are all existing LOBs Client Services and Alts (for AS) going to report into these new heads? What does it mean for... — read more 

Delighted with my 4.9 rating.

Even without the layoffs, the turnover rate was higher at BNY than anywhere I’ve worked before. A lot of people struggled to keep up with the fast pace, while others figured out their role was focused entirely on sales rather than customer service... — read more

Since the doomed ending of the Eagle company. It’s not a surprise to hear this office will be closing. Why the secret? Tell the staff where they will be moved to so they can plan. Especially since RTO is such a highly monitored topic.

How long will it take for our illustrious organization to sc--w this up? Anyone have any predictions given BNY Mellon's record for short-sightedness and managerial incompetence?

Yes I got laid off, I got severance and it has run out. However, a line in the separation agreement stated, "agree that you will not apply for or seek future employment with the Company or any other Company Releasee." I saw others in the past at BNY... — read more 

This feedback at BNY is absolute trash. I have twenty requests to do. I mean what is the freaking point???

Everybody and their mother knows that attrition is as bad as it has ever been. But the attrition rate isn't the real story here. From where I’m standing, what’s been happening for more than a year now is that we're losing a high number of our top... — read more

Hello All. I am aware that this forum and message board is for people to vent about the current layoffs at BNY Mellon, but I was hoping to get some pointers or advice. In 2019 and in 2024, I have applied a total of 3 times to the same AML, KYC, &... — read more 

Does anyone feel that their division head is impersonal?

I was laid off the other week. I’m ok with it but laugh to myself, it’s not all on performance. I managed my clients, hit targets but wasn’t liked by x-x. Meanwhile you have people who don’t directly take on work versus use BNY Mellon to promote... — read more 

Were there any layoffs this week? Previous posts indicated action was planned for week of 9/16.

Robin and team gonna get paid big time for the share price.

If BNY is enforcing RTO policies to their employees, they should also 100% enforce the rest of their policies when it comes to compliance related matters of the business. I have seen soo many report policies be broken to the point where if the SEC or... — read more

Many who leave end up regretting it. The grass may seem greener, but it often isn't. I'm not saying not to quit, just don't rush into it. Go ahead and downvote this, but you know I'm right.

How is BNY staying out of the news? All of the major banks have announced layoffs yet there’s no news for BNY even with the endless layoffs this year. Is it because the US jobs are being transferred to India so it appears the total head count remains... — read more
