Can we be the biggest Fintech?
BNYM have potential to be the biggest Fintech, but given the IT talent (or lack of it), it will always be “potential”. Few talking heads and lot of outdated managers, and a ticking time bomb, due to ever evolving technology and organization like BNY... — read more

Todd Gibbons=Faux CEO
Todd Gibbons, the accidental CEO....... soon the EC will chew him up and spit him out also. As it turns out, Charlie was smart to get out while he could.
Now it’s our turn!
Layoffs happened and are still coming.... but make no mistake, so are the lawsuits against the bank! People have had enough!!!!!!!
Excellent work Todd on the most inhumane layoff process in the history of the firm.
By now everyone knows after years of service the conversation was: your job has been eliminated here’s a link to the portal. The portal doesn’t work. Two contact names are given. Called Wednesday, still waiting for a return call. Many of us... — read more
How much more will we have to do?
We lose people to layoffs and attrition, nobody is hired to replace them, we take on their work in addition to ours, no pay raise follows, and then rinse and repeat. That's been going on for years now. When will it finally end? When we all break down... — read more

Kudos to Todd for making the layoff process even more humiliating
Letting people go with no warning - speaking of the job elimination, not BE’s. People here 20, 30 even 40 years without being able to say good bye was bad enough. Now we are simply given a link to a portal, a portal that does not work. And... — read more
