BNY Whistleblower

If BNY is enforcing RTO policies to their employees, they should also 100% enforce the rest of their policies when it comes to compliance related matters of the business. I have seen soo many report policies be broken to the point where if the SEC or FINRA found out, it will be huge consequences. Alot of the policies when it comes to “money and company expenses” have been broken to the point where if there were deeper external audits, alot of other employees would lose employment and BNY charged with fees AND some of their top sales people would lose their jobs in a heart beat.

I think if RTO policies are enforced, they should also enforce other policies.. but obviously enforcing the other policies will just lead to some of their top product sellers to lose their jobs. So as long as you’re generating revenue for the company, you can slide on submitting fake and altered reports and the policies does not pertain to you.

If anyone would like to play fair, Im all for it. The system showed I did not follow RTO policy, but others have not followed other policies with BIGGER consequences and yet, still working for the company and getting their internal errors or fake/altered reports covered by upper management while also receiving commissions.

BNY, do a better job in enforcing ALL employee policies if you are going to 100% be strict about RTO policy. But if we are being honest, RTO is BNY’s favorite policy to cut costs as well. I might as well be a BNY whistleblower since I not bounded by a severance package.

BNY is once again enforcing RTO policies. They closed multiple locations since 2020 and have not offered incentives to employees to relocate or offered options to employees with WFH capabilities within their roles. They have contingency plans for employees to WFH in the event of an emergency, but they don’t like that as a plan for employees to benefit from. The workplace has become toxic under the new CEO Robin Vince. He, senior executives, and senior management all benefit from WFH arrangements but do not permit the same for their employees. Employee morale is not just below baseline, it’s buried 6ft deep. Employees communicating across “silos,” are met with hostility from other departments. Cutthroat attitudes are on the rise and employees are forced to deal with abusive language disguised as corporate policies. With $5.1B revenue for third quarter 2025 you’d think the company can invest in its employees. The technology of the company is lacking significantly. Systems often shut down or freeze. Especially essential systems like their imaging system for investor transactions, corporate policies pages, hr systems, etc. Employees are forced to return to cramped offices with cockroach and bed bug infestations. No employees are reimbursed for additional extermination costs resulting from time spent within their poorly maintained buildings. The office bathrooms are not up to code. There are minimal accessibility friendly stalls and the ones that exist are not within ADA compliance standards. Wage increases have been less than 2% over the last ten years with inflation just shy of 37%.

In response to their internal employee survey question of: would you recommend BNY employment to friends or family… I present a resounding he-l no. This has been one of the worst places to work. Toxicity included.

It seems like they’re picking and choosing which policies to enforce. If RTO policy is being enforced, so should the rest of the policies. I didn't sign a minie-miny-mow policy guideline. The amount of people breaking so many other important money-handling and client-handling policies instead of the attendance-police policy is insane.. and I hope to see the day of when a lawsuit happens due to BNY not following through and evenly recognizing each of their written policies. BNY better start paying severance to people they fire due to not following the RTO policy.. because sooner or later people will start speaking and outing the employees getting a small hand sm--k for BIGGER-future-issues in the firm.

I'm shocked that the WM analysts (or whatever official title is being used now) haven't banded together yet for some sort of suit against the firm. Being forced by RP's to clock in at 8am and out at 5pm when most (if not all) are working well outside of those hours to help keep their offices afloat.

It's the firm's prerogative to enforce RTO, but enforcing policy cuts both ways. Let them report their actual hours worked so they can at least earn some well deserved overtime pay.

Ive seen people receive more than 10 warnings in regards to other policies by management and even tweak certain information related to numbers in order to “pass” a violation at BNY. BNY is picking and choosing policies to enforce, but only the policies that serves well. I hope that days, weeks or years from now there is a deeper investigation at BNY about policies and these policies not being followed or enforced 100% like the RTO policy.

I’ll be the first one joining that lawsuit with receipts on hand.

@ reply on commissions: every department has a sales team. They get paid the most because they produce revenue. Bigger deal, bigger bonus. i don’t think it’s true “commission” but definitely impacts bonus.

Whistleblow the fact that a based at home director in NY was able to take a promotion with a different team because she’s besties with the department head. When called out on it on a meeting by another NY based at home employee the story was they would be making a “slow” transition to Pittsburgh

No one cares! Work Harder!

What division of BNY pays commissions? Asset Management? What are you talking about?
