It’s amazing to me that there are more and more people willing to do anything to end up on the layoff list. Isn’t it easier to just find a new job and leave MNY Mellon on your own?

What kind of place is this that does not even use Zoom? Even churches use Zoom! Antiquated technology!

I have long debated whether or not to ask for a raise. How many of you here have asked about getting raise and what are your experiences?

As the economy slows, jobs become less abundant, and the power balance slowly returns in management’s favor, expect companies like BNY Mellon to return to strong-arming and intimidating employees. Why? Because they smell an opportunity, and because... — read more

I recently received an offer of employment for BNY, but it is pending a dr-g screening-something that was not discussed until I read the offer verbiage. Does BNY test for THC or will having this show on my exam cause my offer rescinded. Any insight... — read more 

If leadership cares about BNY Mellon maintaining a good reputation, then I believe it is high time they considered how they can offer better pay and better benefits to their employees. I have compared pay and benefits with competitors and now I am... — read more

Does anyone else who’s been here many years feel they’ve wasted their career ?

The previous place where I worked, it was quite natural to sometimes ask the manager for some advice. The current manager here I would never ask for anything because he is completely disconnected from our team. I hope this manager is a lone case at... — read more

it's easy to say "just put in 40 hours and not a minute more". In reality, when you can't find a new job and don't have a lot of savings, it's not easy to take a stand like that. I don't know what your boss is like, but mine certainly wouldn't like... — read more
