Laying off the tenured, knowledgeable, capable people and replacing them with temps/contractors hired off the street whose only work experience is at Dunkin Donuts is working out very badly! It is an absolute mess, they will hire anybody with a pulse... — read more 

Charlie was brought in for one reason only, To shake things up and hold up the stock price. He made a name for himself at Visa doing the same stunt. How do you do that with a custodial bank? BNY Mellon is a banks bank. It processes transactions... — read more 

I've noticed how this website shows various comments. Let me summarize them ... • sh--hole • f---ed up • c-ap environment • a--holes • s---s Please let me know if I've missed any appropriate BNYM terminology.

How has the typical day of a BNY employee changed due to the current scenario?

From Bank of New York it will be known as Bank of S--- ups as more than half of the employees only have that skill set.

Anyone else told they are still bonus eligible when they were shown the door? Anyone actually receive that bonus or just more of the same BS??

My comp is up from last year and I’ve been told I’m a valued employee and they want to keep me. Even so I’m beyond disgusted and put off by the direction this company is taking. I can’t imagine how many others who have been demoted or had their comp... — read more 

Based on what’s been said in the town halls I get the sense that Monique was not the only higher up who is not on the same page as Charlie.

TSG and desktop engineering continues to be a joke. Windows 7 is being retired at the end of the year - look around you and see all the Windows 7 PCs? Do you think they'll be upgraded by end of year? Lol, no. Same as when we had to pay Microsoft big... — read more 

Apart from frustration , low morale , politics , no career growth , c-ap tech , sleepless nights and tension , s---ing up to superiors etc .

Related to other post the other day, also heard rumors March 11 layoffs. Environment on the 13th and 14th floor is horrible ... I really hope I am on the list. Feel little cattle stuffed into a barn. Can't take the daily fire drills and nonsense with... — read more 

I hope I slide off the road and die at least I wont have to work at this miserable sh--hole anymore. Enjoy the commute in!

how about Charlie Harper ? Free all you can drink booze and also you can puke anywhere you want . Open to suggestions

FINALLY , the bonus day has arrived.. the one glimmer of hope in all this doom. does the motivation now drop to a new low ? Current employees will be looking to run out of this company - - - take the money and RUN !!!

Wow. Just wow. When I received the email today about Monique, I just sat at my desk for a few moments and took it all in. The company is obviously going down a path that she no longer wants any part of and it speaks volumes. Thankfully, I had two... — read more 

Late to the game here as people had comp discussions a while ago, but whose bonus shrank from last year, or they didn’t get one when they had in prior years? (Or am I the last person who still works here?)

This was once a great bank, but the management has managed to completely ruin anything that was once good about it. I'm starting to think that no matter what happens now - even if we get all new leadership that actually has both the bank's and... — read more 

Sad to say that that’s the case but BNYM has been a dinosaur company with outdated business practices, a practically the only thing that motivated people to apply at BNYM (and stay) was the sense of security. Now that that went down the toilet, good... — read more 

Over past several months as we all know several Chase implants are here. Those businesses go to chase rest to Goldman

Even Jack sparrow cannot save this one.. as BNY is at the world's end ?

Charlie is not a god: nor his he even a great and admired man: he is little liked; he never took steps to make himself liked.

As these layoffs continue this situation looks to me more and more like running the company to the ground then like an organized and strategic reduction of workforce. I mean, we were a dinosaur company as it is, and it’s clear, even to a college grad... — read more 

So much uncertainty at BNYM lately. So much stress, so much frustration... Working here has started affecting my mental health - I can't properly relax even on weekends. Anything seems better than this, and yet I'm still too scared to just quit. As... — read more 

This place is finished. What an embarrassment. You’d think it was 2008 the way this company pays and treats its employees. Scharf is a cancer

Good management is honest with employees. BNY Mellon purposely leaves us in the dark about what’s really happening. Don't ignore signals about this. There is no antibiotic for the Scharf virus spreading within our company. That will dictate what you... — read more 

This sounds like a great deal for those that want OUT. Are we able to request this? Sounds like a dream come true...

One of the 'benefits' of the SUB scheme instead of 'true' severance is that you save social security, and you can concurrently collect unemployment. Believe me, they're not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They do this so BNYM saves on... — read more 

...tossing people overboard to try and stay afloat. Even Charlie might agree, although this is not the way he would present it to shareholders.

Some Managers/ supervisors in our office have been rebranded as “Independent Contributors”. Their people have been taken away and they will now continue doing their job, but not manage people anymore. Is this happening elsewhere and is this a sign... — read more 

More secure than bny

prepare. pay off debt.

Hmm?

Ok, so I survived the latest layoff. What next? I had a successful career where I was happily productive, but due to the new organizational rules, I am now in a role for which I am untrained and unqualified. I may fail and be laid off (with... — read more 

How do current employees keep calm and even come to work in such a c-ap enviourment ? Do yoga and palates or running help ?

Rumor of BNY Mellon being bought out by JP Morgan Chase.

Of course, this is a rhetorical question. It’s always a possibility with this leadership, but if more people get cut and nothing happens like new hirings, allocation of work etc… we seriously won’t be able to operate with this headcount, at least at... — read more 

What kind Clients would invest in a Company whose employees are not happy.

Is BNY Mellon more like Frontierland or fantasyland? It definitely is not Tomorrowland.
