Would anyone care to share their experiences when applying at other companies, primarily banks, of course? Does working at BNYM considered a good thing or not. In other words, is that a plus or a minus on our CV? Does the competition consider us a... — read more 

I was let go from BNYM on the 19th. I see alot of comments in which it appears that people are sad and anxious about what's next. I personally am ecstatic..I have never seen or experienced such a toxic environment. My manager was a toxic, tacky, and... — read more

I see nobody posting anything. Does that mean we are safe for the time being? At my location, folks were cut yesterday but today it was business as usual. Even the conference room wasn’t booked, so I suppose we won’t be seeing any today. Any info?

hope you're out of debt.

Wishing us all the very best, where ever we wind up!

Usually layoffs at BNYM last at least two days, which is why I'm worried that there'll be more today. However, so far it's been quiet - even if it's still really early. Any ideas on what we can expect today? And on a more general note, when can we... — read more

Was quiet where I was....any word on what areas got hit?

After 19 years at Bny I was laid off today. I know some other people were let go too. It’s a said feeling as I had so many great co-workers. On the other side I’m happy that I no longer need to be a part of daily circus called Bny Mellon. Good luck... — read more

I have never felt so unappreciated at job. First the lay offs and now no working from home. It almost seems like they are trying to make things as miserable as possible. But they still except us to give so much. Funny. Other companies I've worked for... — read more 

What do we have to do to bring in a union. We need a union to protect the rights of the workers. They need to stop treating us like trash and tossing us out after they’ve used and abused us.

It’s coming. The greatest crash ever. We’re just 1200 points from all time highs in the stock market, economy is great and yet they have no money to keep you or give you a fair raise/bonus. Once we surpass the all time high in the stock market... — read more 

BNYM has reached an all time low. It's bad enough that they cut staff thru their forced ranking process. Next they take away Work From Home. Then when it's compensation time, they stiff their employees. I had to tell my group that the money wasn't... — read more 

Of course I’m being sarcastic and maybe oversimplifying but I don’t see anything changing other than the fact that our workload doubled. At the same time the same ill practices that got us where we are now are still being done.

Any truth they scheduled a bunch of people to WFH on Wednesday to stress test the VPN? Way to rub salt in the wound guys...

Confirmed. The goal is to close the Everett office and Scharf is trying to get the company acquired

Could BNYM be broken up and sold in 2 pieces to make more palatable for regulatory approval?

Doesn’t matter where you work, you’re all going to be washed away in a tsunami of collapsing financial companies. Enjoy the first half of 2019.

Among other things, I see employees not commenting on a colleague's errors, since they aren't responsible -- and 'an error for them nudges me up on the job security scale'. This is one of the negative outcomes of the current atmosphere.

I'm glad they fired me. Now I have 3 offers paying better than BNY. I never would have had the guts to move out on BNY on my own. I was way too comfortable. I hope it works out good for others as well.

I’m embarassed to say I work there. These people are the scum of the earth. I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy a career at BNY. Literally every bank is better than us, and now with the WFH being axed; what’s the point.
