Remember when Charlie left overnight and most of his cronies/tag alongs from his last place left with him? There is one hanger on who is retiring all of a sudden. Seems as though rats jump ship before the ship crashes into an ice burg

I have a question for those who support increasing in-office hours, and even criticizing the others: Do you own the company or hold a significant amount of stock? Why are you so concerned with what is good for the company? And why are you criticizing... — read more 

So why are they separating our US employees from one office to rehire in another? Brilliant. Will they be doing that in the UK also?

Heard rumors that BNY is going to start tracking how many hours employees are in office. In order for an in office day to count the employee must be in office for at least 6 hours. How true is this?

Any advice in how benefits work is much appreciated.

All you have to do is google “BNY lawsuit” to find the endless number of articles about the shady, incompetent, or down right illegal and corrupt practices that this place engaged in for many years. What’s really sad is that we were turning the tide... — read more 

i am so confused by this, is all 401k vested after 3 years of working at bny and then each year is vested end of year or after 3 years only my first year is vested? this sh-t is so confusing.

Any news on the scope of massive June Layoffs? Build Back Better!

What in the world is going on in asset servicing? These silos were the stupidest idea and now there’s talk about getting rid of them?

I've been seeing lots of high up positions in India. Will Robin and the EC give up their jobs for their India counterparts? Ridiculous!! Why is no one talking about this?

PTO, you only get back PTO you bought, not the hours you accure, if you see the writing on the wall, go use it all, otherwise you will lose it. Doesn't matter how much you have, you only get the "flex vacation" you had the option to buy.

Is accrued PTO not paid out upon departure anymore? But PTO that had been used but not accrued is subject to repayment? Seems like the worst of both worlds on the employee end. Would be better off switching to unlimited PTO at this rate.

How much money was BNYMellon able to absorb back from displace personnel with the HRA accounts. The amount has to be pretty substantial.

With layoff happening every quarter, what do we even by this principle of "Thrive Together"? We know every company goes through this but doing this every quarter? Is that really what will power our culture?

I heard people on my floor talking last week about how June that the Bank will require people to be in office 5 days per week. Is that true? Or is that only for certain departments and lines of Business?

I heard Director and above this week. Any truth to that?

Pretty evasive when responding to the question about the use of AI and the future of staffing levels. He was specifically asked if that translated into a larger or smaller workforce. Straightforward question/evasive reply.
