If you are close to retirement age: can’t you just quit?
I don’t feel like giving any notice as this is definitely my last job. I pretty much already know the answer but I am curious about the responses: can’t I just quit with no notice? If I was in my twenties, accounting degree, “working on my master’s”... — read more
Is there any reason to stay?
People are leaving in droves. I'm wondering if there's anything that could actually convince you to stay, or are you just done?
Skeletor and Pumkinhead
Ghoulishly giddy, whistling past the graveyard of loyal,longsuffering salaryman careers, sacrificed to the quarterly EPS projections.

Question: how long can one be out with mental issues?
I know of someone who has been out for many months due to mental issues. Isn’t there a limit to how long you can be out or can you be paid indefinitely for this? As a woman, I am fine with maternity leave but this seems subjective.

How and when one finds out he/she laid off?
My understanding, when they decide it's your turn, they cut access to corporate emails and any company system. Do they send email to personal mailbox? Or do they reach out via phone call/message?
Interesting job post
I thought it was odd that the job listing is for either Berwyn, PA or NYC. We're looking at two completely different applicant pools there, and does this mean they've acquired a new PA office in Berwyn, or is this just the Archer office? "We’re... — read more

Leadership's head in the sand
I've noticed that layoffs only get announced if the affected group leaks it. Otherwise they just pretend it didn't happen. It's absurd.
P-m is a flop and Mckinse.. sold us a strategy for failure.
Post everywhere and advertise to the world so its known what a miserable state of affairs this turned out to be. destroyed lives, business and any hope that things will get better.
Is BNY slowing their roll on AI all of a sudden?
It was announced that the third module of training (where they want a 6 PAGE AI “thing” you put together and send on to another group for approval—-!!) was delayed until next year. Also, all of a sudden, AI isn’t mentioned in meetings and a new AI... — read more

Pittsburgh parking increases - what “layoff” looks like in 2026
Layoffs are bad press, so layoffs are coming in the form of su-king money from you until you have had enough- or simply cannot afford to work here anymore. Parking in Pittsburgh just went up by 50% with no contact person, not posted on my source to... — read more
