Seems very strange Irish employees escaped unscathed by this round .
I think it's done
No need to worry anymore, at least when it comes to this round.
September 12 Layoff Numbers
Anyone have a sense of how many people were layed off on 9/12 and which teams were affected? Nothing has hit the news. Also heard that employees were told by their managers that the firm is not done (more to come over the next four months). That’s... — read more
Notice period acknowledgement
I'm not sure where to even begin with this. The policy we are now being asked to acknowledge goes much further than just required notice periods. Depending on your salary grade/title, we are now required to agree that 30/60/90 days notice is... — read more
We were hit yesterday
Our manager said nothing, but can I assume that we're safe for the remainder of this round? I can't imagine why they would spread layoffs within one group to more than one day. But then again, you can never tell with this bank and especially with... — read more
How bad will Wednesday be?
How many more cuts can we expect tomorrow?
Sub payment
Has anyone being let go received sub payment info?
Severance packages
For anyone let go, are they giving a severance package Atleast to help until you find other employment ?
The state of the company
The state of this company is truly unfortunate, many good people ( across the spectrum ) were let go this past week and joking about it doesn’t make it any better. I’m sure there are some slackers in the mix too, but this really seems to be a... — read more
401k match
Has anyone who has been laid off during this round determined whether we will get the 401k match? I’m assuming not, but my manager didn’t know.
“Catch-up “
Who shows a “catch up” meeting on calendar tomorrow” ? Unfortunately it means they are letting you go
Layoff Thread
So let’s start posting. Avoid speculation. What is confirmed - division/group, locations, numbers.
Labor Day rumors
So there was all of these rumors about four days in the office beginning week after Labor Day, as well as supposed to be layoffs week after Labor Day… Has any of that happened?
Does BNY Mellon really have enough room for all the employees in the client service center in Pittsburgh?
are they hoping people will quit before then? And that most jobs will be replaced in Lake Mary?
After BNY layoff, how do you explain the employment gap during the next job interview?
After BNY layoff, how do you explain the employment gap during the next job interview?
Gadget’s contract not renewed?
Hearing rumblings that Gadget’s contract didn’t get renewed and Robin is looking to replace her. No idea the veracity of these rumors, but since he took ops from her, seems plausible.
Monitoring Network Activity
I heard some rumblings that they are monitoring network activity now for RTO. So if you come in they will monitor your network usage and perhaps raise an alarm if there’s no activity. So badge swipes won’t just be the sole determinant. Anyone hear... — read more
More tone-deaf LinkedIn nonsense
So glad that Gru and his little minion got to hang out at the US Open (in a nice cushy suite, paid for by BNYM, no doubt. They'd break out in a rash if they had to sit with the common people.) And nice of them to post about it on LinkedIn, complete... — read more
How to change industry if I stayed in BNY for over 10 years.
Many interviewer said that I don't have experience in their industry. How do I make the shift? The longer you stay, the harder you get out.
Stress
Anyone else feel themselves becoming someone different? I’m to the point I have no filter and don’t care what I say anymore. The workload is nuts and the amount of incompetence is terrible. Leaving is not as simple when you have tenure and other... — read more
Automation
Just a clear attempt at removing processes and putting them with other teams that know nothing about them
New Notice Period Policy
Has anyone studied all the covenants and restrictions? Concerned maybe signing off on more that I think.
OK - is the four days a week legit or not?
It's past Labor Day now
Gaming the System - Badge Swipes
Must achieve minimum 60% in 4 weeks (20 BD span): 1- Use full allotment of Sick (10 days), Personal (3), Vacaction (20), Work from Anywhere (10) throughout the year 2- Come in super early before anyone and just leave before anyone in your department... — read more
RTO - Swipes
Is there any dashboard that employees have access to to check? The policy is confusing. 3 days week, but what if there is a holiday? Or you take a day off? Then you still need 3/4 days? What if you take 2 days off, then only need to come in 2/3... — read more
Know it alls
so sick of getting on all these calls and having people talk non stop and over you when they know nothing about the topic of discussion
Layoffs v retiring at pershing.
Say you work at Pershing. You want to retire. Instead of just letting you retire there is ‘known thing’ they do. they waste the companies money on severance and “lay you off”. It’s embarrassing, everyone hears you were laid off, and whispers what... — read more
BNY Mellon leadership is a one-trick pony
What else would you call a bunch of supposed leaders who only know how to cut people to improve on the numbers?
Comp thread
Let’s have some pay transparency. Location/level/base/bonus/years at the bank
I just need a stable job that I can work for 5 years, but BNY layoffs every year to sc--w up people's life and planning.
What is the point working hard at BNY, since I will be layoff anyway.
Exemptions
Anyone know why most Syracuse folks are somehow exempt from having to go into office to work 3 days while the rest of us do? They Can’t say it’s distance or travel cause I have several on my team traveling just as far from other areas
WFH
Anyone know why or how Syracuse teams got an exemption to not have to go in office 3 days a week?
What should I tell my interviewer when asked why you want to leave BNY?
I have been interviewing; the interviewers had asked this question few times.
30 days plus notice
I’d like to know how they can tell us we have to give 30 days notice so no impact or whatever but yet we don’t get the same courtesy from them as if it wouldn’t create the same situation they want to avoid smh BNYM can F off at this point. — read more
September cuts
Anyone know what date the September layoffs will happen? Heard it’s substantial in ops
Nobody is safe at BNY Mellon
Those of you who think you are, get your heads out of your as--s and see what's happening. No matter how good you are, no matter how much you bring to the table, you are not safe unless you have friends or family in high places. It's truly as simple... — read more
I have been working under high stress and I am losing hair recently. Should I blame this on BNY?
I am trading my hair for a paycheck. This is sad.
question about linkedin profile view
"An administrative employee from BNY Mellon viewed your profile" Does that mean I am next layoff target?
Filling reqs
Anyone’s location seeing a big struggle to fill reqs? It’s bad enough we have to fill them in “growth” locations only, This is insane now. Multiple offers made and all declines because they want over 60 k to walk in entry level to start with no... — read more
