Got fired
I got let go today so I don't feel bad about letting people know about the downsides of working at BNY Mellon. They don't offer a pension and haven't since around 2012, management is instructed to rate employees below actual performance because... — read more

How was your salary progression at BNYM
Curious... Where did you start and what kind or raises/promos did you get over time...
Cowards. Disgraceful.
I was a long time worker at BNY Mellon who always got excellent reviews. However, I fit the bill of being just old enough and making just enough money to make the list of 2019 layoffs. Forget the quality of the work you did. Forget loyalty. That did... — read more

They can muzzle us at work, but they can't muzzle us on this site. It's telling that the posts here get at least tenfold the number of views as the propaganda stories on the corporate intranet.
Sub payments
Does anyone know how sub payments will effect taxes? Thank you
BNYM is unethical in its core
The company is unethical in its core. Don't for a minute think senior managers believe in WIN, or D&I, or the CoC or anything they harp on about, other than gorging from the trough for as long as possible. The little titbits strewn around is to... — read more

A proven track record of failure and social irresponsibility
BNY Mellon failure — brought to you by the same people (arrogant bankers) that brought you the financial crisis of 2008. Wall Street luminaries like Charlie tend to think they deserve higher pay because finance now requires greater technical... — read more
Don't expect to be rehired - and that's a good thing
I was let go in January and I applied to a bunch of positions. I even had my manager assisting me and I didn't even get an interview. I'm at a much better place now and thankful I didn't end up back at BNYM. I asked an HR rep if laidoff employees... — read more
BNYM Propaganda
This weeks issue of BNYM propaganda centers around more Hamilton nonsense and "Building a Culture of Recognition and Appreciation" - I kid you not. Amongst all of the constant layoffs and forced BE ratings they float this garbage out there. Meanwhile... — read more
What’s the End Game?
My question is what’s the end game? Surely BNY can’t go on like this, lay-off after lay-off for at least 5 years where I am. India screwing up daily. Everyone overworked and stressed.... There has to be a plan for this company? Anyone venture to... — read more
Is BNYM really open to change?
Honestly, other than layoffs, has there been any actual attempt to change the way things are done to improve our bottom line? I don't think so. I think management hates change and wants to preserve status quo for as long as they can through layoffs... — read more
Appraisal
Anyone had their appraisal? What is the % for BE vs. Other ratings?
Is there upward feedback process this year?
How come I am still not getting one for my manager? In prior years it happened in May.
Technology email spoof
Did anyone actually get excited about the fake email that promised old computers would be replaced by clicking on the link to test your system?
Are they even human?
They proceed with blessed indifference to how their monstrous, solipsistic behavior affects the lives of employees. How many heart attacks, stokes and serious mental health crisis’ have they caused? But reality doesn’t matter. What matters is the... — read more
Has anyone been re-hired by the company...
after having been rated BE and laid off? My ex-team is so short handed now, apparently they’re looking to hire a new person. I’m trying to learn if there’s anyone out there who was given back their old job.
No way to win
I am a manager. I am routinely forced to rate people as BE. I am routinely forced to change my comments to be more negative. It’s not a good company to work for. Thank you for saying this. At least it's good to have a confirmation that no matter how... — read more
Philanthropy and Corporate Responsibility -- what a joke

State Street

Manager vs. Manager
My direct manager asks me to do reasonable things that are in conflict with the things their manager, HR and training seem to expect. Sometimes, they all seem to be in conflict with each other. Since (in my case) these are all good people (as far as... — read more
Anyone else’s manager acting rude and like they don’t give a care
I tried to assist my manager I get the shaft. Very rud lt in front of other coworkers. I ask a question and pretty much she tells me to figure it out myself. ReallY? Decades of dedication and hard work and now making me feel like c-ap. So what do I... — read more
EMEA
Talks of selling off some business lines true? Serious pressure on share price. Leaders not equipped in any shape or manner to turn it around?
Brooklyn office
What is the status of Brooklyn office ? I saw they are closing health Center in coming weeks. More layoffs before they move staff to Manhattan?
This Week in BNYM Propaganda

BNYM leadership
How many of you still have any faith left in our leadership? Anybody? I think a three-year old could run this bank better than what we have now. Relying on layoffs above everything else to improve the bottom line has never worked long term for... — read more
Share price
Charlie has been brought in to drive results upwards. He has done the opposite....share price on the floor. He will be gone by the end of the year I think.
BNYM dinosaur
60 years old work on mainframe 30 or more years with the bank = dinosaur
It's obvious what they are doing
I have seen several people laid off from my own group and others, yet they have hired 2 younger people this month in another area within the group. The company expects loyalty from its employees but their not even considering moving you to areas... — read more
