The emperor has no clothes

Still…?
I just took a look at this blog after some years of… not. I resigned seven years ago, after years of layoffs and many of the same complaints that I read here. If this was so obvious that long ago, my question is… why are you still here? That is... — read more
Posting reality about BNY on LinkedIn
Why are people only posting about the toxicity at BNY on this site anonymously ? Why can't people write reality about this company on LinkedIn openly ? I understand people are afraid of running into problems finding next opportunities. But Hey !... — read more

https://archive.ph/j1S8t Any news when some floors are going to be moved temporarily?
Eliza not working
Is it just me or does Eliza just not work? Type any questions or prompts in and you just get 'loading response' indefinitely. Surely BNY hasn't put all its hopes on an AI that doesn't work, or that they don't be have the server space for?
BNY runs on pretend productivity
Managers don’t track actual work, just the appearance of being busy. After years of going above and beyond for zero payoff, I’ve stopped playing that game. Now I collect the same paycheck for a fraction of the effort. Funny how no one’s noticed the... — read more

It’s wild how excelling at your role can actually work against you
The more indispensable you are in your current position, the less likely they’ll let you advance. Kind of a messed-up incentive, isn’t it? You’d think performance would open doors, not lock you in place. Really makes you reconsider how much extra... — read more
