I’ve never worked for anyone as ignorant and close minded as my boss here, and I can’t wait to get out. Worst problem with this place is they’ll keep the d-mbest people in important positions for way too many decades.

I got a better paid job at another bank, but the title is lower. I don't have much time to make a decision, which is not easy, because I don't want that decision to jeopardize my future career. On the other hand, I really want to leave BNY Mellon... — read more 

I know my worth. I know they can't replace me easily and I know they know it as well. I'm perfectly happy to continue doing my job and continue giving it my all from home. If they want me back at the office, they have to pay me more. It's as simple... — read more 

Everything aside, the place where you spent more than a decade is not so easy to leave. I put a lot of effort into it, I went through a lot here, so to just pick up and leave, it's not so easy. Although everyone advises that one should flee from... — read more

People usually exaggerate when they list the bad things at NY Mellon or any other workplace for that matter. There are some, of course, but nowhere is it ideal. After six years here, I decided to make a big change and try something a little... — read more 

When they saved money by reduced office space, did they pass on any of those savings to employees? Of course not. 'That is OUR money.' However, if you are based at home in an area far away from any city, they want to adjust your pay accordingly... — read more 

Maybe at one point it did but not anymore. You know what they say, you get what you give. Since BNY Mellon has been giving me the least it could get away with lately, that’s what I’ll be giving back from now on. I’ll be spending the rest of my time... — read more 

I want to. I really do. The bank would be doing me a favor. I would have more time to look for a good remote job that would allow me to work from home all the time. I don't want to be in the office one day more than I have to. It's more distracting... — read more

how ethical is BNY Mellon? I was asked a similar question by some person recently and I would've preferred to say that I no longer work here.

Why am I back in the office again? What’s my purpose in being here if I’m just gonna be on teams and webex all day?

The other day, for the first time, I decided to remain silent about working at BNY Mellon. I used to be proud to have a job here, but not anymore. And not only do I no longer have the passion to work here, but I know that many others no longer... — read more

And Todd can tell us some more jokes?

They continually regard employees as so stupid they would buy into their flimsy corporate rationalization of RTO.

There is no successful company that treats the best employees badly to the point that they start leaving on their own just so that the mediocre people who know how to please the management are more comfortable. This is unfortunately what is ... — read more
