What is with the increase in meetings
These are never ending now and multiples a day back to back so you can’t get anything done. And what’s with 5 different teams setting up meetings asking same questions so all you do is repeat same nonsense over and over for no reason
Return of the garlic manager
The employee praise emails flowed like honey during COVID. Many people paid for upgraded internet service, spent personal money on office supplies, worked long hours, and generally stepped up to help their employer. Every single employee could have... — read more
Looking for a new job
I'm trying to be more dedicated than ever to looking for a new job, but it's taking too long. I wonder how much longer I will be looking, or when I will finally be able to give notice here. I have the impression that everyone else has managed to... — read more
Peakon
This week we were instructed how to rate the company on the Peakon surveys That pretty much eliminates any honest feedback
profits, people and the planet
The first is sacred to companies like BNYM. The second two are still told they are to sit in the back of the bus -- despite what the brochures say.
Pretenders
BNY Mellon is no exception in this regard, because in most of the places where I have worked so far, pretenders are more appreciated than those who really do all the work. However, there will soon be many more pretenders here than those who put in... — read more
3 days in office
Does anyone know how they are keeping track of our in office hours? Is it done by swipe? Can they tell how long we are logged straight into the network vs remotely? Does anyone know if there is a minimum hrs needed to get credit? From what I am... — read more
Oriskany building for Sale
now what?!
Technology no longer 10 days a quarter
So tech teams will no longer have the privilege of 10 days only in office per quarter. Archaic applications faltering every day will have even less technology oversight. Brilliant ideas coming from the top!!!
This is the last straw
Don't make a promise to me regarding promotion and fail to deliver if you don't want me to walk out. I will not tolerate having a carrot dangled in front of me only to have it snatched away at the eleventh hour. I don't care if it was made by you in... — read more
Greener pastures
So far I'm having no luck getting a new job. I talked to a few people who have left already and I was surprised by the salary increase they received. It's not a slightly higher pay, it's a significant increase. Is it possible that we are so... — read more
How many of your team deserve to be let go
I can think of Atleast 3 that would lighten the load cause they’re useless
Teams meetings
I have 4 hours worth of mtgs today & 6 hours tomorrow. They are all via Teams with no one in my same location: therefore I will be sitting in a dirty crowded noisy sea of cubicles all supposedly for in person collaboration which I will be doing... — read more
Animosity toward employees
It's just all very toxic. I'll be interviewing at another company next week. They can find another architect. This one's seen enough.
GS injecting into BNY. good or bad?
another GS boss pulled into BNY. will these people coming in actually help the bank in making the brand more prestigious and bring in better talent or are these folks the misfits of GS?
Behold! The ultimate sticky (bump as needed)
There are a lot of good threads that get polluted by the same low-IQ posters that ramble on about the same thing. But here's what you need to know: It is clear the current CEO is trying to drive attrition. That is why quality of life (benefits... — read more
You think they care that they can't attract younger talent?
I don't think it's too important to them anymore because they're too preoccupied with their bonuses and don't have much time to spend thinking about the future of this place.
Drab, dull, and predictable
BNYM is like life in a sleepy Midwestern town -- the shady streets, the weekly lodge meetings, golf on Sunday morning, followed by a fried chicken dinner and an afternoon nap. And they wonder why they can't attract young talent. 😂😂😂
Why would BNY Mellon invest in a failing edtech company?

Some things can't be repaired
The CEO and his underlings have created such a toxic environment here that it seems impossible to fix. They sit up high in their ivory towers, utterly disconnected from the reality of what's happening on the ground. Their minds have become completely... — read more
Peakon Response
So today I made comments on my Peakon survey. We will see if I am here next week! So tired of the values/meaningful work questions. How many others have managers who never tell the higher up’s what you have accomplished? A misguided notion on... — read more
Layoffs??
More like trying to make conditions so bad that people quit so they don’t have to pay termination benefits. Effective 2023 BNY Mellon won’t even match 401k contributions until the end of the year so if you leave mid year - no match. Deep cutbacks... — read more
Roman Regelman is an a--hole
Love the threatening tone of the latest communication. If you don't come in 3 days a week, you will be subject to corrective action. This guy has Scharf all over his mug.
Unconcerned about the quality of the employees
I was really disappointed when I became aware of how little BNY Mellon now cares about the quality of its employees. I do not believe that they are not aware that some decisions alienate the best of the remaining employees. On the other hand, I... — read more
So much pointless politics
Imagine how great this company would be without so much middle management that creates so many unnecessary layers of bureaucracy. We would be able to increase productivity by a third, at least. We would also be more efficient, considering that a... — read more
Full 5 day return to office 9/5/2023
Following in Goldman Sachs footsteps. WFH only for emergencies, etc.
Why does Newton Mutual Fund Performance Suck?
Why do we still have a mutual fund business, since our WM side is selling more non-BK funds and etfs? Can’t they get $ by selling this business? I don’t know any of the names there anymore, are any good investors left?
Is Peakon Anomylous
My manager here in the UK has stated he can obtain HR data confirming who has made what comments. Does anyone know if this is true, or is manager just trying to avoid us making negative comments? Thanks,
Badge swipes will no longer be tracked
What great news!!!
Filling reqs
So Just got told that reqs that need to be filled are to only be filled going forward using someone from India, PGH or Florida’s cause those facilities are somehow considered “growth” locations. Gtfoh. These places have the most layoffs and yet we’re... — read more
Anyone familiar with older hybrid work model policies?

More trimming at Pershing
Soon there won't be anyone left to provide the cr---y service offering. I smell a Goldman sale.
They must get warm bodies in seats to justify that big comp package
They’ve been monitoring badge swipes for a few months now. Your manager gets a report detailing compliance with RTO for each direct report: colour coded, maroon, red, mint, and green, based on amount of swipes per month. Make no mistake, a firm like... — read more
