I'm not sleeping. I'm not able to think clearly during the day because of lack of sleep. I'm frustrated and annoyed that I am creating process solutions and doing multiple jobs outside of my responsibility while others around me have personal... — read more 

Working at BNY Mellon is like working for Tony Soprano. The bosses smile their sh*t eating grin at you during their town halls and tell you how wonderful you are. When you turn your back, you get whacked. No one sees the body get dragged out and... — read more

People are getting burnt out - too much work, too much stress, too much of not knowing what's going to happen tomorrow... Our turnover rate is getting worse and worse, and I don't see BNY Mellon doing anything about it. I understand needing... — read more 

I’m trying to find some good in this whole situation, even though I have a pretty hard time doing that. If the rumors that a big round of layoffs in scheduled for the beginning of December is in fact true, does that mean that we can feel just a... — read more 

Next round of layoffs is early December. Have the 2020 termination dates been released yet?

I understand that none of these two options are ideal, especially given the fact that I don’t have a new job lined up or anything. On the other hand, it’s getting harder and harder for me to continue working at this place, and not just in terms of... — read more 

Who can recommend what to do with pension I earned in BNY. Is it save to take annuity? Is it possible to take lump sum and transfer it to traditional IRA to avoid huge taxes?

Do we have any idea of the total number?

My computer and various systems stop working randomly throughout the week as I’m trying to provide that excellent client service Charlie wants us to give. Trying to get them fixed is an exercise in patience/insanity. I sit on the same broken chair... — read more 

Whether you are legacy BONY/Mellon or BNYM - you know this is a broken place with frustrated and tired employees. The break started with Bob Kelly, Charlie has just widening the gap. We are an animal slowly dying, and Charlie is burying us a piece at... — read more

Only reason I stay is the tuition reimbursement. Just finished my MBA. Need to stay one more year so I don't have to pay any tuition money back. Going to be the longest 12 months of my life.

Here is a good tip for those still at bny Mellon trying to make sense of things. When you are in Mysource looking at the org chart, read it from the bottom up, instead of from the top down. The managers don’t manage the team that’s under them. ... — read more 

Got a BE because I “can’t handle criticism in a constructive manor”. Screw that, I’ve literally never not taken constructive criticism well. Honestly I think my manager is just trying to get rid of me and is making things up

as the dump continues to let go large numbers of employees, they continue to email job posting with the headline “INVESTED IN YOUR SUCCESS”. This place is never short on propaganda.

For those who received BE reviews and got let go, how many BE ratings did you get prior to being let go? I just received my first one after more than 10 years and was shocked. I’m wondering if the mid year reviews count less than the final year end... — read more 

Will HR call you if you get let go during vacation? Was hoping to get a phone call, but nothing yet.

I am sorry when people are laid off. And the fallout keeps getting worse for those that remain. It’s not just the work load, taking on more work as people are let go. Its the knowledge gaps, messy reorganization, confused management, broken... — read more

How are things going in Pittsburgh? Are they getting hit at all? I feel like Pittsburgh is no longer the cheap labor location it once was and therefore prime for massive layoffs. Whereas, Oriskany NY probably is going to be a benefactor of... — read more
