Does BNY not give off for Good Friday??

Even thought they are plumbing, how do we get them back??

While worrying about being placed on the list for the next round, I’ve noticed the forum chatter has significantly quieted down. The focus has shifted heavily to the Trump-induced market meltdown, with everyone concerned about their shrinking wealth... — read more 

Is this the real life? Or fantasy working at bny caught in a landslide, no escape from reality. Opened my eyes and realized Bny is not for me. I’m just a poor worker, I need no sympathy because I’m easy come easy go . Little high & little low any way... — read more 

I was unfairly rated as “below expectations,” which I now understand is part of a broader practice at BNY—where 10–15% of employees are required to be rated low, regardless of actual performance. It appears this is being done to avoid paying... — read more 

Why are forced wfh employees being treated like anything but employees? We don’t get recognitions at all like in office employees are. not even on employee appreciation day. Not allowed to get promotions or give them either. BNY forced this situation... — read more

I was laid off early this year. I found a job right away and love it. Not every business is run like BNY, but because I was there 16 years, I thought they were. You CAN find something else.

For a company that keeps touting their bumper sticker slogans about culture, I have never seen a worse culture of just miserable, beaten down employees.

Like everything at this dump, the P-M propaganda stories are just that. HR reaches out to users after very senior mgt, asks the employee to do the little Q/A. Of course the employee isn't going to rip the P-M.... I have seen it firsthand... a P-M... — read more

Does anyone know what the new hires are being told about office days? Constant rumours may go to 4 days for everyone (not just people managers). What is the messaging from HR when they recruit staff on this?

The office is a disaster lately. Tasks that used to take an hour now drag on forever, and half the new hires act like they’re allergic to learning. Not trying to throw anyone under the bus, but it’s exhausting. Wondering if it’s just our team or if... — read more 

New Platform Rule per the managing director: Town-Halls are not optional. I guess this will be the new lay-off/ termination criteria. Maybe don’t schedule Town-Halls at 8AM. WHO does that? It’s 2 hours before my group even starts. We don’t get don’t... — read more

I know the situation in Edinburgh but wondering if anyone has any insight into the next offices to be closed? Assuming Manchester is safe as it's a growth centre. London will always be OK.

I saw a post on impending layoffs planned in June and then it was removed as it degenerated into a political fight than a layoff information. Why was it removed ? Are moderators censoring ? Anyway does that information have any legs ?
