No job is secure, but what is happening at BNYM is very tiring. Constant pressure on employees with layoffs also means constant work in fear and uncertainty. How can anyone be relaxed and give their best in such an atmosphere? This should be seen as... — read more 

Its none of their business if you get vaccinated or not. It is not their decision for you to get vaccinated, it is your choice. If you want to get vaccinated, then by all means get the vaccine. But if you don't want to be vaccinated, then stand up... — read more 

I worked for GS in 2000-2008 - I saw a lot of bloodbaths

It's the best I've had so far, and I've worked at three major banks and one regional bank during my more than twenty years long career. It bothers me when people put down BNY Mellon when they have no idea what it's really like to work for the likes... — read more 

Another rat jumps ship. Off to Wells Fargo Good times with chainsaw Charlie. Keep cutting the worker bees padding the FAT

Is this really work life balance when the company is mandating covid vaccinations? My philosophy working for this company has always been that I work to live, not live to work. BNY Mellon is my job, not my life. My job doesn't make life decisions... — read more 

This whole layoffs thing is making me want to quit on my own. I'm old enough and I've been here long enough to remember the time when this place had job security. Heaving to live constantly with the stress of potential layoffs is not healthy for any... — read more 

Or sometime before the end of the week?

Is there anyone who has not gotten one yet? They were due 7/31 and yet myself and some other members of the team have received nothing yet while others Atleast got it to review and approve even though they never even got a meeting to discuss it

I'm sick of hearing about efficiency savings because I don’t think it’s about efficient savings at all. They cut people who brought new values and who were really great, and they intend to continue to do so. Isn't that too much savings? When will... — read more 

Fat severance for a job I didn’t like anyway? Thanks!

Just got whacked and would assume a lot more is coming. Todd is doing me a favor to force me out of this dumpster fire and I give him less than a year before he gets canned which would just continue what is the CEO carousel (you know it’s bad when... — read more 

My job is changing due to the restructuring of the management regime. I am pretty much being pushed around as I am valuable but I am not doing what I want I would like to volunteer to be laid off too. But I worry about telling this to my manager as... — read more 

I assume since these operate the same way as the Fugio devices in office that they can then track our tags at home once we get them. Wouldn't be able to get much info, but still I plan on putting my tag in a Faraday bag once it arrives.

Brace yourselves ! Talk is going around from higher ups that if you didn’t get the shot they are terminating your position and there are no more severance packages being given either

RTO has been pushed back to October 1st. How benevolent of them. Probably stopped a wave of retirements/ resignations!!!!!😎 Glad I held off buying my September train ticket

Received notification of an overnight letter arriving tomorrow from BNY. I'm speculating due to my vaccination status.

I refuse to go backward. I'll quit even if I don't have a new job lined up before I'll be forced to return. If this is their goal and I'm playing right into their hands, I don't give a fu-k. There are plenty of options to choose from right now and... — read more 

Why do some supervisors think that berating your employees is an effective way of training and managing? We keep getting new employees who have supposedly been through training but they still have no idea how to do half of the stuff because the... — read more 

Todd sent his e-mail at 11:11 AM EST and one of the company kiss @sses replied to the blog post by 11:14. If someone reading this works with the dork, politely tell him what a pathetic loser he is.

BNY Mellon is once again proving that it doesn't care one bit about its employees and their wishes. They'll put all of us at risk to bring us back to the office for no good reason despite the overwhelming majority of employees preferring WFH. This is... — read more 

The Covid FAQs for BNY Mellon say that in office staff no longer have to social distance and are not required to wear masks. Odd that the CDC’s Guidlines explicitly state: Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and... — read more 

Anyone catch the GMI event today? Very little masks in motion. No physical distancing.

What is the current percentage of attrition throughout the company? Is there any way to find out? I think it has at least doubled if not even tripled in the past year or so (if I remember correctly, it used to be around 7 percent.) People are... — read more

What’s worse then the stuff posted by management on mysource? The toadies and kiss up sycophants who praise the postings 😎😎😎

However, it is considered ‘lazy and unethical’ for employees to want the most pay for the least work. Is it not corporations that have set the example here? Why are they so indignant when the tables are turned. Isn’t turnabout fair play? — read more 

I hear a lot of this in interviews: "We're a young group ..." I feel like they're telling me that I'm too old to fit in with them and I am never chosen. I don't look old, but I don't look 20 something, either. Anyone else experiencing this?

I recently was put on a leadership team, given direct reports, involved in high-level strategy development, etc. To be honest, I didn’t want any of it, but I figured it could mean a different title and more money. When I asked those questions it was... — read more

Anyone else find these mid-year reviews a worthless waste of time.

I can’t with them anymore. They do 0 - just delegate and then get credit for others’ work. WHY DO WE NEED THEM AGAIN?

Is BNY Mellon one of the worst banks when it comes to resolving the issue of returning to the office?

I had 10+ internal job applications lingering on without a status update for months. All of a sudden I started getting the calculation emails. I guess this is the third one over the past few days. Anyone experiencing the same? Are all the... — read more 

Who exactly are the group of employees that qualify the small percentage that will remain remote?

This is the choice given by management to BNY Mellon employees.

Who wants to bet it will mostly be softball questions from brown nosers in the audience? Post cringe moments here.
