For those of us who were laid off, how many of us were the oldest person in their group? I’m Gen X for reference, but was the oldest in my group.

The writing is on the wall. Oriskany is closing. How obvious can it be before employees get answers? I understand there are other "growth" sites for the company such as lake Mary or Pitt. However, Oriskany was a "growth" center once upon a time... — read more 

An ungodly amount of workload is being forced upon me and nobody seems to care that it's not physically possible for me to get it all done even if I worked 80+ hour weeks. Management seems to forget that we are not machines. I'm done with this place... — read more 

Hi Until what date do we need to be employed/on payroll in order to qualify for 401k company contribution? Is it Nov 31st of the current year?

Who is likely to go next from Ram’s org?

Any help from a live person from BNYM for strictly technical inability to open severance package? I blocked 3 party pop ups and installed free Adobe Pro for 7 days. Still can't get a thing. Help?

Not sure how it is in other banks or large companies, but at BNYM, promotions can actually be a trap. In late 2020, my manager and I got promoted. I would manage the team I'm on and he would manage the other teams that worked along side us (I would... — read more 

BNY Mellon has become the type of bank where people go to see their careers die. This wasn't always the case but the last five or so years have completely destroyed what was once a great place to work. I'm so disheartened to see what we have turned... — read more 

Anyone from DRM let go ?

Is it your manager, HR (People Team), or both together?

Anybody else hope at that a-s hat that’s on these threads day after day trolling people on here and talking how there hasn’t been layoffs since 2008 is axed in the Nov/Dec round of cuts? I usually wouldn’t wish that on anybody, but this person is... — read more 

Let this be a wakeup call for those of you working late into the evenings, weekends, and while on vacation. You mean nothing to these fools. you are an expense which they will cut as soon as they can, without remorse or regret. I've read many... — read more 

unofficial news from top heavy source. they will target remote based folks next and even MDs cant convince HR to keep them. either move to PGH or lake mary or your toast

All these layoffs will do is provide short-term gains that will fill executives' pockets in the long run. The bank will not benefit from this in the long run at all. People whose groups were affected will become overworked and their productivity and... — read more 

Seems very strange Irish employees escaped unscathed by this round .

No need to worry anymore, at least when it comes to this round.

Anyone have a sense of how many people were layed off on 9/12 and which teams were affected? Nothing has hit the news. Also heard that employees were told by their managers that the firm is not done (more to come over the next four months). That’s... — read more 

I'm not sure where to even begin with this. The policy we are now being asked to acknowledge goes much further than just required notice periods. Depending on your salary grade/title, we are now required to agree that 30/60/90 days notice is... — read more 

Our manager said nothing, but can I assume that we're safe for the remainder of this round? I can't imagine why they would spread layoffs within one group to more than one day. But then again, you can never tell with this bank and especially with... — read more 

How many more cuts can we expect tomorrow?

Has anyone being let go received sub payment info?

For anyone let go, are they giving a severance package Atleast to help until you find other employment ?

The state of this company is truly unfortunate, many good people ( across the spectrum ) were let go this past week and joking about it doesn’t make it any better. I’m sure there are some slackers in the mix too, but this really seems to be a... — read more 

Has anyone who has been laid off during this round determined whether we will get the 401k match? I’m assuming not, but my manager didn’t know.

Who shows a “catch up” meeting on calendar tomorrow” ? Unfortunately it means they are letting you go

So let’s start posting. Avoid speculation. What is confirmed - division/group, locations, numbers.

So there was all of these rumors about four days in the office beginning week after Labor Day, as well as supposed to be layoffs week after Labor Day… Has any of that happened?

are they hoping people will quit before then? And that most jobs will be replaced in Lake Mary?

After BNY layoff, how do you explain the employment gap during the next job interview?

Hearing rumblings that Gadget’s contract didn’t get renewed and Robin is looking to replace her. No idea the veracity of these rumors, but since he took ops from her, seems plausible.

I heard some rumblings that they are monitoring network activity now for RTO. So if you come in they will monitor your network usage and perhaps raise an alarm if there’s no activity. So badge swipes won’t just be the sole determinant. Anyone hear... — read more 

So glad that Gru and his little minion got to hang out at the US Open (in a nice cushy suite, paid for by BNYM, no doubt. They'd break out in a rash if they had to sit with the common people.) And nice of them to post about it on LinkedIn, complete... — read more 

Many interviewer said that I don't have experience in their industry. How do I make the shift? The longer you stay, the harder you get out.

Just a clear attempt at removing processes and putting them with other teams that know nothing about them

Has anyone studied all the covenants and restrictions? Concerned maybe signing off on more that I think.

Is there any dashboard that employees have access to to check? The policy is confusing. 3 days week, but what if there is a holiday? Or you take a day off? Then you still need 3/4 days? What if you take 2 days off, then only need to come in 2/3... — read more
