Is there more information on who the target groups might be? How big will the upcoming cuts be anyway?
I set a goal for myself to be gone by the end of 2021
We're now well into 2022 and I'm still here. it's not for the lack of trying. I keep applying. I keep interviewing. But when I reach the pay negotiations, nobody is willing to pay even close to what I make currently. Now I have a feeling I'll be... — read more
Sad work culture!
The sad culture here in my 11 year work experience with this Bank is they want people to sit quietly at the desk and do their work, don't want people to ask enough questions , do what is told and we shouldn't be creative enough.
Dumpster fire or entire landfill fire
Ex-BNY employee here. All the info I get from friends still there, people who have been laid off and HR people is that it has been a massive exodus. Layoffs continue, employees leaving to make more $ at other firms (nothing new there), job reqs not... — read more
It's a well-known fact that a majority of employees are miserable
Everybody knows this but nobody cares enough to do anything to change it. The brain drain, the drop in morale, and even the drop in productivity don't seem to be enough for any of the people in charge to try and fix the situation. No wonder so many... — read more
I hope that's not true
I hope the rumors about layoffs in April are inaccurate. I've heard that rumor before and now I see here in one of the posts someone wrote that they are preparing a list. Please tell me that's not true because getting laid off would be a nightmare... — read more

JP Morgan drops vax mandate
Now only if BNYM would and stop playing doctor to employees
Now that the former Goldman executive will take over
,,,what changes can we expect? Or is it perhaps too much to expect some significant changes? Some people I’ve talked to expect big changes, while others think that everything will stay the same.

Advice for newbies?
I was surprised that a young and capable person took the place of a colleague who left a while ago. He is a talented young man, full of enthusiasm and will to work which is rare among the new hires nowadays. To be honest, I’m not exactly sure what... — read more
Dishonest and deceitful management
They say one thing and do another. Or they set all these rules but they never bother to follow them. "Do as I say, not as I do" is the main motto here, or so it seems. I've never worked at a place where I could trust management less. With people like... — read more
Question regarding vaccination
So if you are vaccinated & got the booster management wants you to return to the office 1,2 days a week but if you are unvaccinated you can continue to work from home without repercussions? How is that fair?
Left the company- still have a ton of equipment
I left BNY a few months ago and I was working from home with a whole set up (2 monitors, laptop, accessories, dock) and when I resigned my manager told me not to take my equipment to the office. He insisted that I wait for technology to send me boxes... — read more

Anybody Knows if we can get our belongings back?
Been a few years and mine all long gone
Pershing continues to lose veteran leadership
So a couple more senior managers are leaving Pershing. For them to leave one of the more profitable divisions of the bank, they must know something the rest of us don't. Pershing X must mean Pershing eXit!
Adapting to new times
It has long been clear to me that those at the top have very little or no vision for the future. Do you too think that BMY Mellon has difficulties adapting to the new times?
Russia
Will Todd pull out of Russia or is there too much money tied to oligarchs?
Mediocrity in the team
Unfortunately BNY Mellon rewards and praises mediocre work so there is less and less quality employees here. Just a few years ago, it was impossible for such people to have as much confidence as they do now. It's really hard to work with them. How... — read more
Know your worth
BNY Mellon has been underpaying employees for years while expecting more and more each day. It's not worth it. Every bank pays more. Every single one of them. Even if you find a job with the same amount of work and the same toxic environment at... — read more
Layoffs and 10 x workers
If you don’t need to get laid off, just be a 10x worker. Don’t try it. Do it. Like this, coach. Make a fully reasonable goal. A fully reasoned goal is you working at 150% of what a highly motivated alpha WHITE MAN can do. This is BNY, it’s... — read more
Deltacron variant spreading across Europe

Treasury Services Technology
Anyone knows what's going on in treasury services technology, most of the department is reshuffled and CIO changed, time to move out?
So much for diversity
For a company that preaches the importance of diversity to us until they are blue in the face, you would think they would’ve given us a different option for the new CEO….
Todd says this is a “special place”…so why all the complaints?!
Ok, put his massive salary, benefits, pension, 401K and stock options aside- he said this was special…why can’t we all feel the same way?!?!?!?!!?!

At least there'll be no layoffs
Enough people will quit over RTO. The rest of us can enjoy a short window of job security, I guess. Silver linings and all that...
2nd Job
With gas prices and needing to drive to the office + parking / toll I cannot survive on BNYM salary. Do I HAVE to tell them I m working a 2nd job waiting table + 3rd job stocking at walmart overnight ? How would they find out / care?
Merger coming
NOW you know why reqs are not being filled.
So stupid! They are blaring music as you come in and giving out free junk
Welcome to he** ! Have some BNY swag! LOL!!!
RTO has nothing to do with productivity
The only reason why we're going back is so that the real estate is not sitting there empty and (in their heads) losing them money (which it's not). It has nothing to do with productivity (which has proven to be better when we WFH) and it has nothing... — read more
RTO Propaganda

Stick it to them
All those threatening to leave.. it’s your time to shine. Stick it to them. It’s already bad but they need a rude awakening to remove their heads from their butts
The Great Resignation
I am quite sure BNY Mellon is at the top of the list. https://apple.news/AmypzmshYRJyUkhHOHwO47A
Is BNY primed to go under?
With so many quitting these past couple years, so many saying they are going to leave, and the bizarre inability—-or even desire—-to fill reqs, is BNY primed to go under and/or become part of a takeover? This goes way beyond the WFH issue. The mass... — read more
RTO Flex remote and Unvaxxed
If you're unvaxxed you're not allowed to RTO, but as flex remote you have to show up at least min 5x's a quarter. Therefore, you can't show up and they terminate you, correct? Am I missing something here.
Just a Reminder on March 7th
