Everyone doing satire these days

If one isn't vaccinated (or is but decides to pretend that they aren't) and doesn't have (or wish to share) their vaccination card, will a "guard" really turn them away: "go back home!!! That is an order!!!" This should be interesting. Is there... — read more 

What WILL the first day back at the office be like? Massive line at the turnstiles while the "guards" check to see if you have proof of vaccination? Will they tell you to "go back home" if you don't have your card? This should be very interesting... — read more 

I also think a lot of people are going to use the hybrid method with a heavy leaning towards continuing working from home; maybe a token day or two (per week, per every other week) in the office. But, seriously: what happens when another variant pops... — read more 

It’s very important to stay marketable, but it’s not that easy. I thought that the experience I gained here during 4 years would make me more marketable, but that is not the case. What is the best way to stay marketable? What are you doing to stay... — read more 

How long have we been home? Suck it up. Life needs to get back to normal. You are all a bunch of whiney snowflakes.

Where did Todd get his medical degree to tell everyone what’s best for their health ?

Can we have a similar thread for the US location please? I didn't know there was such thing as salary bands. Interested in New York, grades J, K, L, M

…about spending three hours a day commuting to and from my douche new office location. Good luck asking with your hat-in-hand for immediate coding support (as is common) when I’m stuck in traffic. You are as backward as you are callous. Already... — read more 

No growth, no moral, no management --- even constantly bringing back burnt out managers who were let go years ago. If the firm wasn't a utility for the marketplace it would have imploded long ago. Truly full of people waiting to pass away without... — read more

A bunch of promotions are showing in the corporate directory for my business group but no one has received any compensation documents or salary changes from HR- anyone else experiencing this? They’re showing updated corporate titles since 2/1. — read more 

I've been reading this forum for a while now and I find it funny when someone says that his or her workload has grown so much that they are now doing work for three people. Someone even mentioned that they do work for as many as four people!!! I... — read more 

My discontent at and with BNYM has turned into hatred and resentment. I’ve been looking for a new job for almost two months. I’ve been on 6-7 interviews but I’ve either turned them down or not heard back yet. Every day is worse and worse here. My... — read more 

Is this another case of "let's pretend we didn't see it coming"? I took a look at the P/E graphs and it certainly looks like we are headed into dangerous territory--along with reduced resources and climate chaos. But it's hard figuring out how to... — read more 

I see a lot of very young folks have been joining lately. I'm assuming the reason is either they're cheap and we all know the bank wants to cut costs any way it can or we're at the point where nobody with experience wants to join so we don't have any... — read more

I downloaded my 2020 W2 from the BNY Mellon intranet on January 20, 2021 while I was still employed. I am no longer at the firm. Has anyone who is also no longer an active employee, received their 2021 W2 yet or know when they may be sent out? And... — read more 

Does anyone know the mid points for salary bands? I have numbers from 2019 and would hope they have increased but wanted to check in advance of “pay review”…

Transparency in the work place. To HR Show us the numbers of how many people retired, quit or got let go in 2021.

Heard from a good source we will not be going back to the office until May or June. If Omicron is subsiding, they want to make sure there isn't a resurgence.

Sometimes I really wonder why I need all this, why I don't accept any other offer just to get rid of so much stress. Our manager only knows how to set unrealistic goals and create stress. It's getting worse day by day. Is it even possible to... — read more 

I am very disappointed and it seems the only solution is to leave NY Mellon. Does HR do anything for employees here?

We both have been considering quitting for months and looking at what's available, but he decided that he'd had enough and he just wanted out. The first offer he got, he accepted. Nearly a 20 percent cut in pay but he was willing to take it. I envy... — read more 

Idg why the bank is not asking their employees for proof of a positive covid test. You’re giving two weeks pay without knowing if someone is blowing smoke. Makes no sense

It's on you to be prepared when that happens. Worrying about layoffs all the time makes no sense. If you prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario, you can forget about the threat of layoffs because you know you're going to be okay no matter what... — read more 

Good lord the number of complainers on here yet if annoying . Complain non stop but won’t leave. If you think the grass is greener then please go already.

The well intended people who advise to "keep your head down" do not get it. This mentality is part of the over problem with the company. I have many relatively senior colleagues who have selfishly uttered similar sayings. These are 55+ year olds who... — read more 

The shortage of employees in Ireland is devastating at the moment. Nothing is being done to resolve the issue. This leads us to think one of the offices could be closed in 2022. Dublin will always be protected so Cork v Wexford? The lack of... — read more

BNYM IT professionals, based on what I've been reading on these boards, based on my experience at BNYM, what you truly need is to unionize IT. What do you have to lose?? Do yo enjoy working 70+ hours a week?? Do you enjoy the stress that is part... — read more
