Thank you for contributing to our success ! (and by “our” I mean…well, if u know u know)

RV has brought us to the flourishing Netherworld. Everything in our business has withered and died.

We had some bs under Charlie but never have i ever experienced anything like this now under Robin. It has become so toxic and everyday could be your last with what they have been doing to employees. And yet he goes on the news or does his little... — read more 

people at the nyc office really need to learn how to flush the toilet...

Apparently, a family member having a medical emergency that requires someone to be present isn't a valid reason for a remote work exception! I learned my lesson, I'll just call off sick instead of giving a damn about this sc-mmy org.

My last day at BNY was a few weeks ago. What would happen if I don’t return a computer monitor that I’ve used for wfh? For context- they reached out shortly before my last day requesting my address to send a box to return the monitor. I gave my... — read more 

As a shareholder, in the latest proxy I voted against the executive compensation plan..

Am I reading right? I guy who makes more than 10 million a year USD offers 6.5k USD as a means to homeownership in the US? Dear BNY employees who are eligible: how do you feel on that initiative?

Tone deaf as ever. Sure they may be hyped if they ever saw any of it.

Did I hear correctly Mr ETF resigned-headed to Northern Trust or SSgA? Not crying.😭

Any truth to the rumor that Pennington is not closing just yet? No word on the rumored new building in PA and no communication from management on anything. Will everyone be expected to relocate to JC and NYC or will everyone just be let go? Will... — read more

Received an invite to an “employee hypercare” session and the only reason I can think of is my peakon comments. Anyone else had this?

The moment BNY announces it has “partnered with McKinsey for strategic realignment,” associates react with the same serenity NASA astronauts display when Mission Control calmly radios, “We’re detecting an unexpected structural anomaly. Please remain... — read more 

guarantee bny will do all this work and will get stiffed when it comes to getting paid by the administration

It used to be “bandwidth” and “let’s circle back.” Now managers are saying “what is the ask” like crazy. Are they instructed from above to do this? Very stupid.

I'm doing so much work that isn't in my job description because nobody else will do it. These tasks are essential but completely invisible to management. They just accumulate and no one acknowledges them. I'm so, so tired of this being the... — read more

My analyst su-ks. Who hires these kids?

It seems BNY is preparing for its next round of layoffs by trying to make people leave voluntarily (shock horror). I’ve been a people manager here for several years now and was told last week I will no longer be a people manager because I’m not... — read more 

Yikes!

BNY’s “Art of the Deal” has evolved into a single, elegant operating principle: if someone, somewhere, can do it cheaper, that’s where the work goes. Labor arbitrage — the classic corporate maneuver of shifting jobs to lower‑wage regions with... — read more 

If you had to guess how the negotiations went down, you might imagine something like this: BNY Mellon strolling into town with the confidence of a Fortune 500 landlord who knows exactly how many jobs, leases, and tax dollars the state would prefer... — read more 

My manager called a team meeting for the tool to submit anonymous feedback upwards We were told that our feedback was “too negative” and that we needed to be more positive going forward or else comp would be impacted. There are already tons of... — read more 

Energized — or at least pretending to be — by the first global People Team town hall of 2026, the leadership proudly announced it was “hosted live from 240G.” What they didn’t mention was that 240G looked like the cafeteria equivalent of a pep rally... — read more

Who’s going to be the brave soul to ask if and when we can work from home or raise our salaries to combat high gas prices?? Thank you for your contribution :)

Why have all other financial institutions and businesses in downtown notified their employees to work from home throughout this month due to the road closures and parking closures but there’s silence from BNY? Not only are road closures already... — read more
