Will he survive RTO pushback, layoffs and downsizing plan!
They have nowhere to go but down
Does anyone disagree? I can only speak from my experience in Asset Servicing, but BNYM's business model reflects more of a commodity than a service. What can they really add to the table that separates them from competitors? Custody - most of it... — read more
Not what it was — Steer Clear
The firm used to be solid. But it has taken a major turn for the worst. Senior management has no direction or real goals. Robin Vince is purposely destroying the very fabric and culture of what use to be a great place to work. Expect layoffs to be... — read more
Layoffs are the new norm
When can we expect some peace and quiet? My team can barely manage the workload since recent layoffs. Too many people are gone. As if that is not stressful enough, I have to think everyday if I am the next on the chopping block. Worse, I am convinced... — read more

HR/Benefit changes this last year
Can someone let me know if I’m missing anything? A new forced 30 day (+) leave notice period in the U.S. for anyone VP or above they no longer match 401k with each paycheck and make us wait a year (losing out on any dollar cost averaging and if... — read more

New employment
To the individuals previously let go, how long did it take to find another job?
Managers - how do you lay people off?
Are you directed on who to lay off? Performance based, I get. But my friends who were laid off today were the opposite of slackers. Our department is already overworked. I don’t get making the move, just to make a move. How is who goes decided? — read more

For agile flex, is it November 27th to February 24th?

Are you allowed to retroactively submit in office exceptions? What is the official policy on retroactive time submissions
Banned from BNY Employment
Has anyone ever chosen not to be put on a PIP but rather decided to leave? Only to be told you can no longer apply for any BNY Mellon or their affiliates positions in the future?
Lack of Transparency
If any senior managers or EC or People Team or Robin are trolling this board - please note that your employees SHOULD NOT have to be getting their policy interpretation from a ‘gossip’ site like this. You need to write your RTO (etc) policies and... — read more
Sub pay pay stub
I noticed on my first sub pay, as expected no 401k deductions, no HSA deductions, no social security deduction, etc. BUT there is no money taken out for benefits. Shouldn’t there be. I emailed the separation email and have not yet got a straight... — read more

Dashboard not calculating correctly
Why is the dashboard not accounting for all in office exemptions? Anyone have that problem?
“Culling the herd” that’s what an exco member called this s***show
Did I hear it wrong? No. Emily P really called layoffs “culling the herd”. She said it many times during her Pittsburg town hall. That’s all they think of us. Cattle. This co has lost the plot. Time to revolt
Time to leave?
Bonus and 401k match posted, time to leave? Give an up vote if you agree.
Who came up with the idea that constant challenge is good?
Why would anyone think that constantly changing jobs, and living in fear of losing your home/savings/health insurance is somehow good for you? Makes you stronger, or what? Nope, it just makes you stressed, a state which takes away from everything... — read more

I know the vesting period is 3 years, but is it 3 yrs from from your first day? So if you started July 1, 2021, after July 1 2024 your 401k contributions from BNY will be 100%? Or is it full year? Ie Jan 1 2025?
Have the salary bands been updated since 2015?
The most recent file I have is effective from June 2015. Does anyone know if the numbers have been increased since then? Knowing BNYM, I’m guessing they were decreased.

Brace yourself, 5% across the board

Saw a comment about new RTO being announced in Feb, 3x/week, all current remote employees being forced back in? Anyone have more details? For Woodland Park office closure and now reporting to Jersey City by July, will those >50 miles be allowed... — read more
Never thought I'd say this, but I miss Charlie
Don't get me wrong, the anti-remote work fiasco and the high layoffs during his time here made things stressful, BUT, he played the villain pretty well. Everything bad could be traced back to him and it was something to bring us all together. He... — read more
