Layoffs continue to loom large across the U.S., spreading through nearly every sector of the economy.

So far Nike has not filed a WARN notice. Should we expect to see it if anything happens?
Hey everyone, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the layoff situation at CVS, but I’ve noticed something strange: there haven't been any major WARN notices filed lately. Given the restructuring talk we heard last year, I’m trying to make sense of this.
Does the lack of filings mean the company is actually doing well and the 'efficiency' goals were met without more cuts? Or is this a sign that the broader economy is stabilizing? I’d love to hear if anyone inside the company has insight into whether more rounds are coming or if we're finally in the clear.

I think they will be announced by April 27-28. That would allow the layoffs to wrap up before the start of Q4 while also giving 60 days of notice under the California WARN Act. They did the same thing in 2023. Hang in there, everyone.

BNY Mellon’s significance on this forum is clear: the forum has become a real‑time barometer of employee sentiment, revealing a workforce that perceives the bank’s strategy as dominated by cost‑cutting, stealth layoffs, cultural deterioration, and leadership distrust. The volume, tone, and consistency of posts signal reputational, operational, and talent‑retention risks that BNY cannot ignore.
1. Stealth Layoffs & WARN Avoidance
Numerous posts allege unannounced, rolling layoffs, often tied to:
RTO policy enforcement
Performance review manipulation
Site closures (e.g., Pennington)
Employees repeatedly claim BNY is circumventing WARN Act notifications by staggering terminations and using “performance” as a pretext.
2. Labor Arbitrage as Core Strategy
Threads explicitly describe BNY’s operating model as:
“If someone, somewhere, can do it cheaper, that’s where the work goes.”
Offshoring, contractor freezes, and AI‑driven job elimination are recurring themes.
Employees see this as systemic, not cyclical—a permanent shift in workforce philosophy.
3. Leadership Distrust & Cultural Breakdown
Robin Vince (RV) is a central figure in discussions, often portrayed as:
Detached from employee reality
Focused on cost‑savings and personal compensation
Culture is described as toxic, demoralizing, and psychologically unsafe, with morale at “historic lows.”
4. RTO We-ponization
RTO dashboards, “red periods,” and inconsistent enforcement are cited as:
Tools to push out employees
Methods to avoid severance
Many posts describe RTO as a layoff mechanism, not a business need.
5. Operational Instability
Reports of:
Unresponsive or dysfunctional teams
Leadership churn
Poor communication around relocations and site closures
Employees describe the environment as chaotic and directionless.
What This Means for BNY Mellon
1. Reputational Risk
TheLayoff.com is heavily trafficked by job seekers, analysts, and journalists.
The persistent negativity shapes external perception of BNY as a troubled employer.
2. Talent Flight
High performers openly discuss:
Practicing interviews on company time
Planning exits
Warning others away from applying
This accelerates brain drain and raises replacement costs.
3. Strategic Execution Risk
A demoralized workforce undermines:
AI transformation
Client service
Operational resilience
Regulatory compliance
BNY’s own employees describe the bank as “McKinsey’s magnum opus of misery.”
4. Legal & Regulatory Exposure
Frequent references to:
Wrongful termination
Forced ranking
WARN circumvention
Discriminatory practices
…suggest heightened class‑action and regulatory risk.
Bottom-Line
Discussion on this forum portrays BNY Mellon as an institution in cultural and operational decline, driven by aggressive cost‑cutting, offshoring, and leadership detachment.
For analysts, journalists, and job seekers, the site functions as a candid, unfiltered window into a workforce that feels expendable, unheard, and increasingly hostile toward senior leadership.
RIF end of May off the books end of June.
There are enough warn notices that are circulating (state wise) that show execution dates ending till june 2026, so this is not yet over and hence no official communication of all things done - even VP+ who are trying to calm the waters are doing just that - calm the waters, but the sharks are still circling and the reports of 30K with only 12K executed with respect to RIF shows that a larger cut is coming. You bosses have lied to you before many times and are still lying!! If you are not out yet, you are still at risk - 18K is 10% of the current workforce and that is a large risk especially for people over 45, people at IC level with higher pay, people in SaaS/OCI, Sales are almost always risky, but app support is bad now.
