Don’t sweat your mental state, lots of us in the same boat. Second time for me in 3 years. Even though I was expecting it, and didn’t really like my new position, anyway, it very stressful. You’re in fight or flight mode all day and nothing you can... — read more 

When I went through this board I saw there were some folks that were affected by these cuts on this board. I would appreciate if someone posted their actual experience regarding their layoff. Don’t want to get into any details but I got some... — read more 

I want to be realistic here, so I’m going to say it: we all had the opportunity to see this coming unless we chose to look the other way in order to feel more comfortable. BNYM is a dinosaur company, with uninterested management and outdated... — read more 

I left in 2016. Is it true they are discontinuing WFH program? Please let me know.

With cuts and internal shuffle so large, why don't we see at least some media reports?

For new folks here, there is an "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread - you can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's all from me. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all...

BNYM is the epitome of what is wrong in the world. Instead of growing with revenue, they cut employees to be "more efficient", or the easy way out to drive margins. Management is awful and can't manage their way out of a paper bag. The former... — read more

Layoffs are in progress in King of Prussia, PA today. Is anything happening anywhere else? Good luck to you guys in KoP, I hope the numbers are not too high.

My job was eliminated yesterday, 1/14/19. It shocked me. Figured changes were coming but not this soon. I had 15 years in...would’ve been 16 in May. Others with similar experience let go too. At what cost will the remaining people, many of them young... — read more 

What's the situation with those who were laid off and are receiving severance and unemployment? Can they still apply for it?

Laid off yesterday. 21 years at bank, now age 61. Got laid off 2014, rehired 2015, now laid off second time. At least I get another, albeit smaller, severance package this time. Was involved in the WTC cleanup and have had 2 bouts with cancer in... — read more 

Do we have any ideas on what's being hit on Friday? And how bad those layoffs will get?

Dear investors, BNY Mellon clearly does not know how to grow new business, increase revenue and provide quality services to their clients. Mr. Scharf's request to "be patient" (article below) should have been, "give me six months and I'll just... — read more 

I would have had 14 years with BNY this year had the company not sold Shareowner Services to Computershare back in 2012. No heads up given to the employees we found out on the news on the day of the sale. Employees were forbidden from bidding out and... — read more 

It’s what happens when you can’t succeed legitimately. The ruination of a great company. Wealth had 100 cuts and now wants to only do business with 5mm and up clients yet is 10 years behind in technology. Watch how this fails for them! Blame the... — read more

10% reduction in salaries expected to hit January 14, good luck to all. I do t think Jamie's son in law is on the list. BNYM customers wull.see tremendous drain on knowledge as the targeted cuts hit those with experience and years with service.

We are expecting layoffs next week. Another round of cuts is expected to follow sometimes in February 2019. WFH and other perks are about to be discontinued, completely or to some extent - we are expecting this with a fair amount of certainty... — read more 

I was laid off from Asset Servicing in Westborough today 1/14/2019... Good luck to all!

Hi Guys, 0lease comment the names of people who will be laid off on Friday in india. If you know and let that person know then he will be prepared for this career shattering decision.

Charlie has no ideas other than ruining peoples lives by layoffs. His only concern is padding his bonus to pay for the 18 million dollar home for which he is involved in a legal battle. He is ruthless and ignorant. Those of you with the company know... — read more 

What's the situation with severance? Is it the usual or have there been cuts as somebody mentioned in another thread? It would really be sad (and low) if they decided to save extra money by reducing people's safety net. As if being laid off was not... — read more

There will be a big volume of lay offs next week across all groups and more to follow in February. Work from home and other soft benefits will be a thing of the past, decreasing employee numbers is the intended end goal.

Just do a search using the word Scharf the main layoff.com page and you will see the future for BNY Mellon. Same thing happened during his tenure at Visa....you will know what is coming by performing this simple search. Charlie is a one trick pony.

Mr. Scharf and his regime are bereft of technological imagination and fresh ideas. Like all people frustrated by their creative impotence, they resort to the Old Testament default: put whips to backs -- frighten them into rowing faster. This is all... — read more 

Expected headcount reduction of 1000+

How can they tell you where you cant work!!! They laid me off last month. Then they tell me that I can't work for one of their direct competitors. I say, why not not; you fired me so I can work anywhere I choose.

439 layoffs in just the last two weeks.

We were hit again yesterday. I heard of just one person in Westborough.

The rumor in the office is that the severance package will be changed and it will max out at 6 weeks. Not sure if this is true, but I heard it from two different sources. So, take it with a grain of salt.

Reorganization is coming in 2019 because of the layoffs. Managers will now be required to have a minimum of 10 direct reports or lose their management title. Severance package is being capped. Work from home is still being considered for elimination... — read more 

Thoughts? Any Bank of New York Mellon Layoffs in 2019?
