Does anyone have it? Also, do salary bands differ for division? I know a very old copy I have shows everything the same except IM.
Those who ranked partial
Anyone have any insight into partial expectations as it compares to below expectations? Are those ranked partial still getting a bonus/raise? I'm wondering the same. I would appreciate it if someone could answer these questions.
Required days in office
What’s the deal if we can’t make it into the office a minimum 2 days a week on certain weeks? I can’t get a consistent response on this… I typically am in the office the mandatory 2 or 3 days a week but on rare occasions I need to hang back and work... — read more

They piloted this with Columbus Day And Veterans Day, but now they plan to implement this for Christmas, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, etc. you’re probably thinking, “just use floating holidays there”, but nope. The expectation is that most teams will... — read more
Totally wrong resource planning
Instead of them just keep piling more work on us, maybe the management should finally pay some attention to resource planning. It is impossible to overwhelm employees this much and expect them not to leave. I don't think of myself as someone... — read more

So this 10 share thing is just a hail Mary publicity stunt, right?
10 shares is worth like 450$. For a few months, you could save that much on taxes by just putting more in your 401K and if you really wanted, put more allocated to BK stock. What was probably given up to make this 10 shares gift happen was probably... — read more

CEO webcast
What a bunch of BS & fluff I see they are back to constantly saying “act like an owner”. & what a disingenuous response to reducing our retirement benefits. Just vague statements & awknoledgement that it’s to keep people from leaving - however a... — read more
Isn't it shocking that so many people want to be laid off?
I am surprised by how many people openly say that they would like to be laid off. Perhaps the leadership should finally pay some attention to this trend, but I doubt it will happen. It is obvious that BNY Mellon is no longer the workplace it used... — read more
Mental Health
The right place to work if you are looking for mental health issues. I have never really believed in this kind of thing to be honest until I got to work at BNY in Wexford. It is insane how much pressure they put on you, very poor training, people are... — read more
Let's pretend we couldn't see it coming...again...
In May 2020 I posted an article in the Higher Education Inquirer on the last economic downturn. It was the 27th downturn in US history. Remarkably, few could see that downturn coming, a result of the covid pandemic. More than a million people died... — read more

I'm disappointed
I joined BNYM a year ago, and I was so excited to start. It was my second job, and I thought it would be an amazing experience. I'm not sure what happened; the last year has been a whirlwind of disappointment and fear. I'm so confused about what's... — read more
I am hearing-from many people-that 1/9/2023 is layoff doomsday
No fear mongering or trying to stir the pot- just "keeping it real." I have heard from quite a few people that 1/9/23 will be a layoff bloodbath. Recession and Covid/flu/RSV factors, as well.
WOW points inquiry

Who is D&A? What do they do?
During my year-end review, I was told repeatedly how it was "a difficult year for D&A" with "many changes to come". I inferred this was bad for me but not sure what team this is. Is this the database infrastructure squad? I asked my manager but he... — read more

Layoffs and bonuses
I am not asking for speculation here, so if you don’t have absolute confidence in your statement, don’t make it, please. Used to be, if an employee was laid off during the year, they would still receive a bonus the following year. It wasn’t usually... — read more
Rumor is Roman is getting the boot early 2023!
It’s about time they replace him with someone that employees actually respect
It's nothing more than a paycheck
I find it fascinating that managers expect me to care beyond a paycheck. How can they expect that considering how treated we are? What motivates us to go beyond our job description? It is increasingly clear to me that mgmt is... — read more
Promotions to MD: 10 out of 61 are from Asset Servicing. Is this normal/expected?
The only other group which has more is Technology, and they are considerably larger. Also, some of the promoted staff appear to have been with the bank for only a year or so…

Cuts to our benefits will drive away all remaining talented employees
I have only two options, which is to take real action and go somewhere else or to continue venting while I try go guess what BNY Mellon will take away from us next time. What do you think, will they continue to cut our benefits? Now I have no... — read more
