I'm sure we will beat expectations but I'm not sure by how much. I wouldn't be surprised if we come in around $1.25 as long as we don't take a restructuring charge above the usual.
Our best is not good enough
No matter how hard you work, sometimes our best is never good enough. There is no consideration that we are working with less people, juggling so many ba--s. Some people just don’t care how stretched thin we are - just that they want or demand... — read more
Time in the office
Hearing rumors they are going to start tracking time in the office. 6 hours will be required for it to count as an office day. Welcome to 1984!
Tech CIO salaries at BNY
How much money do divisional tech cios make at BNY? Does anyone have any idea?
Promotions
When is the next period to put in promotions? Is it once a year now? When do we find out bonus and raise $$
Promotions and moral dilemma
Looking for some advice. I manage a team of 6 in mixed locations - NYC, Pittsburgh, and Wilmington. I'm based in NY. When I became manager of the team, I went from J to K, though I've been at the minimum of the salary range and my directs as J's... — read more
Let your managers do what they get paid to do. MANAGE
I was fully expecting to see comments Here about the sh!tshow of forced ratings. Maybe the cats not out of the bag, although I thought it had been for a few years now. Completely unfair of the company to mandate that a certain percentage of the... — read more
They say (lack of) leadership is truly displayed during challenging times
We know of the conflict in Israel. Given that we have colleagues and vendors in the region who are in an existential crisis, there has been no single email directive from the C suite. We do not expect taking sides kinda email, but atleast a human... — read more
BNY Mellon - the Sears of financial services
Was reading an article about the decline and almost complete disappearance of Sears and it occurred to me that BNYM and Sears share a lot in common. Once both great names, beat down by a series of incompetent management teams, utter hubris and denial... — read more
unused vacation
If we get laid off, do we get paid for unused vacation?
Troll on this site
Is the same person posting under numerous companies. The only way to get rid of this horrible person is downvoting his posts. Do not reply to him at all. He will eventually move in like he did from the BOA postings.
Jolen leaving
So she has recently enacted a whole lot of rules taking away our benefits, messing with promotions and pay, making us sign the attestation about giving ridiculously long notice if we’re leaving (while giving us cr-p when we’re RIF’d) etc. etc. and... — read more
Town hall
Let’s see Robins excuses for his poor below expectations job performance
Process sn---h
Anyone else witnessing this in their role? I’m seeing it be done with this lighthouse project. It’s supposed to automate but folks involved are coming in telling teams they’re no longer doing their processes. Others with no clue will be. Make it make... — read more
IP Addresses
Was told they are starting to track our IP addresses to make sure we are in the office a set number of hours on in office says. Anyone know if this is true?
Salary Raises
What are people expecting for raises? Standard is 3%
Prepare for ADA lawsuit
Hearing that Robin is on a mission to force all employees, even those with an a medical accommodation, back into the office. This is driven by the Oriskany employees all being moved to fully remote. This messed up his percentage of employees that... — read more
India outsourcing.
Admin, why are posts deleted that reference outsourcing work to India resulting in US layoffs?
Rehire
Has anyone who was part of a RIF been rehired in a new area/different role? If so, did you return at a higher, lower or equivalent grade?
BNY Mellon leadership does not care about you
You're a dime a dozen for them. As soon as the new need for short-term cost savings appears, you're as good as gone. Keep this in mind 24/7. Keep it in mind when you are expected to work nights, or on weekends, or when you need to pick up somebody... — read more
Hopefully Michael Lewis will
Clean up all the dead weight MDs @ Pershing. Ram's buddies must be real scared :). I can think of at least 2 that won't make it more than a few months!
Has anybody seen any HR representative on-site since early February, 2020?
I haven’t seen any sign of even a single HR staff member onsite for three years and counting. Why isn’t HR required to eat their own cooking? HR is living large, hidden behind their portal where they deflect any and all requests. Understood that... — read more
Back In The Office
Guess they are pushing RTO for "everyone". Here we go....
Its Official Oriskany is going Permanently Remote
For everyone stating that the rumors were all speculation and paranoia, you were wrong. The site is closing and the Site Manager announced it internally to all Oriskany Employees today with MW reading off a script.
Finally got a new job
"Only" took me seven months. I don't know what I would have done if I had been laid off and received all these rejections for months. People, start looking right now, just in case. You don't have to accept an offer if you get it, but make sure you... — read more
HR head out
Wonder what becomes of the many WFH people in that org under new EC head.
Job market right now
I think job market is horrendous right now. High interest rate environment is reducing new roles and also causing lay offs. Many job seekers for too few positions. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. Cannot resign without getting a new job... — read more
Do you have a plan B if you’re laid off?
Because if you don't, you should start working on it.
Is Peakon anonymous?
So is Peakon really anonymous? The manager told us to give them 9s and 10s, otherwise it raises alarms and reflects negatively on our team. But I want to rebel this foolishness if I can stay anonymous.
Oriskany is closing
Employees of central New York will be told that their office is being sold and that they can work permanently from home. The announcement is Wednesday, Sept 27. Don’t be fooled, this is simply another step in laying off the countless wonderful people... — read more
Swipes
Does it count as a swipe if just swipe in main lobby, log into work PC, go back home, work rest of day WFH?
BNY Mellon celebrates incompetence
Incompetent people are the ones who get all the promotions. Any self-respecting bank would make sure something like this never happened, or if it did, that it is immediately corrected. But not here. It keeps happening here over and over again. And... — read more
November Cuts
Anyone have any info on what the traditional pre-Thanksgiving cuts will be this year? PIP or Go firing for ‘cause’ or a general percentage across the board? Maybe a mix of both?
BK Stock
What's going on with BK stock? 5 years ago it was 53; 4 years ago it was 44; 3 years ago it was 36; 2 years ago it was 51, last year it was 44 now it's 43. It's going no where and not paying any dividends. Its negative growth. Investing in this is... — read more
Lighthouse
Seems very disorganized, everyone seems confused, & will be a sh-t show. Opinions?
ECRSO TOWN HALL
Can’t make this stuff up ECRSO TOWN HALL after continually cutting benefits, and just last week, the firm cutting staff again, they’re going on saying how they’re investing in their people and how important employees are
Complaining
Please tell us all how it’s working out for all of you on here. You say it in here but do nothing about it . Most of you will never leave unless forced out so give it a rest and post something worthy instead
Pittsburgh Townhall
Hahaaa. This is embarrassing. They are using every buzz word possible and it’s something right out of the WEF. Was a complete waste of time and everything they talk about is a complete waste of money
Does anyone know what will happen to the Wellesley employees?
I was talking with my manager about how I was home shopping with commute time being one of my top priorities. Anyway he told me (off the record) that the office is expected to be closed by 12/31/2024 but had no information beyond that. Westborough... — read more
