I keep getting a "TMS ID & Pin is invalid" error. I have even signed by separation agreement already.

I wouldn't mind being laid-off if there was a better alternative. The truth is, there isn't. Wherever we go, it'll be the same issues and the same uncaring leadership. Look around this forum at other banks. All the ones I looked at have the exact... — read more 

The last few months have proven 1 thing. All these companies are the same. They're all gutless and don't care about their employees. My heart goes out to anyone that was mercilessly let go last week. GOOD LUCK and I wish you nothing but success... — read more 

Wasn't laid off, but I recently took a second job on weekends to help pay down some debt . I'll probably only do this for about a year or so, but suppose I get laid off from this BNYM job? Won't they stop my sub payments?

Is there any different compensation package if you get layoff due to downsizing/redundancy vs performance issues - below expectation?

Where did you find a better opportunity? I’m not seeing much of anything that Seems to fit and yes I already looked in line

I think there is no clearer indicator of an unhealthy atmosphere and low morale in a workplace than when those who have been laid off say that they are happy that they are finally out of this place. It really seems that there are more people... — read more

I got laid off today. Will I still get a bonus for 2023 ?

Anyone get any specifics about their sub pay and how many weeks it'll be for you? The seperation docs are very generic and I don't want to guess what the system has me as. When I emailed HR they said they sent an email yday but I never received... — read more

I’ve been OOO all week. What should I expect when I return?

did you get the usual 2%? bonus less or flat at best?

While they talk about the positive changes they expect after the layoffs, I think that everything will only get worse.

Honestly, I did not think that I would be laid off after more than a decade of hard work, excellent performance and several promotions (fully deserved in my opinion). I am more angry about the very irrational and unfair targeting of employees than... — read more
