What are people expecting for raises? Standard is 3%

Hearing that Robin is on a mission to force all employees, even those with an a medical accommodation, back into the office. This is driven by the Oriskany employees all being moved to fully remote. This messed up his percentage of employees that... — read more 

Admin, why are posts deleted that reference outsourcing work to India resulting in US layoffs?

Has anyone who was part of a RIF been rehired in a new area/different role? If so, did you return at a higher, lower or equivalent grade?

You're a dime a dozen for them. As soon as the new need for short-term cost savings appears, you're as good as gone. Keep this in mind 24/7. Keep it in mind when you are expected to work nights, or on weekends, or when you need to pick up somebody... — read more 

Clean up all the dead weight MDs @ Pershing. Ram's buddies must be real scared :). I can think of at least 2 that won't make it more than a few months!

I haven’t seen any sign of even a single HR staff member onsite for three years and counting. Why isn’t HR required to eat their own cooking? HR is living large, hidden behind their portal where they deflect any and all requests. Understood that... — read more 

Guess they are pushing RTO for "everyone". Here we go....

For everyone stating that the rumors were all speculation and paranoia, you were wrong. The site is closing and the Site Manager announced it internally to all Oriskany Employees today with MW reading off a script.

"Only" took me seven months. I don't know what I would have done if I had been laid off and received all these rejections for months. People, start looking right now, just in case. You don't have to accept an offer if you get it, but make sure you... — read more 

Wonder what becomes of the many WFH people in that org under new EC head.

I think job market is horrendous right now. High interest rate environment is reducing new roles and also causing lay offs. Many job seekers for too few positions. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. Cannot resign without getting a new job... — read more 

Because if you don't, you should start working on it.

So is Peakon really anonymous? The manager told us to give them 9s and 10s, otherwise it raises alarms and reflects negatively on our team. But I want to rebel this foolishness if I can stay anonymous.

Employees of central New York will be told that their office is being sold and that they can work permanently from home. The announcement is Wednesday, Sept 27. Don’t be fooled, this is simply another step in laying off the countless wonderful people... — read more 

Does it count as a swipe if just swipe in main lobby, log into work PC, go back home, work rest of day WFH?

Incompetent people are the ones who get all the promotions. Any self-respecting bank would make sure something like this never happened, or if it did, that it is immediately corrected. But not here. It keeps happening here over and over again. And... — read more 

Anyone have any info on what the traditional pre-Thanksgiving cuts will be this year? PIP or Go firing for ‘cause’ or a general percentage across the board? Maybe a mix of both?

What's going on with BK stock? 5 years ago it was 53; 4 years ago it was 44; 3 years ago it was 36; 2 years ago it was 51, last year it was 44 now it's 43. It's going no where and not paying any dividends. Its negative growth. Investing in this is... — read more 

Seems very disorganized, everyone seems confused, & will be a sh-t show. Opinions?

Can’t make this stuff up ECRSO TOWN HALL after continually cutting benefits, and just last week, the firm cutting staff again, they’re going on saying how they’re investing in their people and how important employees are

Please tell us all how it’s working out for all of you on here. You say it in here but do nothing about it . Most of you will never leave unless forced out so give it a rest and post something worthy instead

Hahaaa. This is embarrassing. They are using every buzz word possible and it’s something right out of the WEF. Was a complete waste of time and everything they talk about is a complete waste of money

I was talking with my manager about how I was home shopping with commute time being one of my top priorities. Anyway he told me (off the record) that the office is expected to be closed by 12/31/2024 but had no information beyond that. Westborough... — read more 

For those of us who were laid off, how many of us were the oldest person in their group? I’m Gen X for reference, but was the oldest in my group.

The writing is on the wall. Oriskany is closing. How obvious can it be before employees get answers? I understand there are other "growth" sites for the company such as lake Mary or Pitt. However, Oriskany was a "growth" center once upon a time... — read more 

An ungodly amount of workload is being forced upon me and nobody seems to care that it's not physically possible for me to get it all done even if I worked 80+ hour weeks. Management seems to forget that we are not machines. I'm done with this place... — read more 

Hi Until what date do we need to be employed/on payroll in order to qualify for 401k company contribution? Is it Nov 31st of the current year?

Who is likely to go next from Ram’s org?

Any help from a live person from BNYM for strictly technical inability to open severance package? I blocked 3 party pop ups and installed free Adobe Pro for 7 days. Still can't get a thing. Help?

Not sure how it is in other banks or large companies, but at BNYM, promotions can actually be a trap. In late 2020, my manager and I got promoted. I would manage the team I'm on and he would manage the other teams that worked along side us (I would... — read more

Is it your manager, HR (People Team), or both together?

Anybody else hope at that a-s hat that’s on these threads day after day trolling people on here and talking how there hasn’t been layoffs since 2008 is axed in the Nov/Dec round of cuts? I usually wouldn’t wish that on anybody, but this person is... — read more

unofficial news from top heavy source. they will target remote based folks next and even MDs cant convince HR to keep them. either move to PGH or lake mary or your toast

All these layoffs will do is provide short-term gains that will fill executives' pockets in the long run. The bank will not benefit from this in the long run at all. People whose groups were affected will become overworked and their productivity and... — read more
