All the banks are laying off and firing
I'm a little shocked that we're still waiting for our turn. Usually, our management is very layoff happy and they'll use any opportunity to get rid of employees. Does anybody know what's going on in regards to this? When can we expect to join the... — read more

The worst bank I've worked for

Senior Specialist Pay Grade
What is the letter salary grade?
Regelman - what does he do, exactly?
Does he just travel the world and put the photos on LinkedIn? He has the emotional intelligence of a 2x4. Every time he opens his mouth morale drops another couple points (if you can understand what he says). The 3 yr “digitizing this very bank”... — read more
I need a break
I've been working so much that I barely see my kids. I feel like I have to choose between having the bank outsource my job if I slow down or having to outsource the raising of my own children because I have no time for them whatsoever. And yes, I've... — read more
That really pi---s me off
All I want from my manager is for him to have a little understanding that most of us are already overwhelmed and that constantly changing requirements (when it is not justified) exhausts me to the point that I am thinking of accepting a lower pay... — read more

Application Status
Anyone know what the different status' of submitted applications are? Seen a few that so under review or no longer under consideration.
It's not all about the pay either
Of course, a higher pay is one of the main reasons why people leave, but it is certainly not the only one. Some people left after a decade here and accepted a much lower pay elsewhere. Actually, I believe there are many such cases? Perhaps management... — read more

This is not the same company it was a few years ago
This is especially true when it comes to employee treatment. Nobody cares if employees are satisfied. There are no employee engagement efforts. Very little interaction within teams. Nobody in the management wants to put in time or effort anymore... — read more
Juggling a heavy workload
I'm totally drained and I still haven't found a new job. How do the rest of you manage to deal with heavy workloads?
Recs cancelled due to tech overruns.
I was told that recs we had approved & interviewed for were now cancelled, meaning the work these new teammates would have been doing will now have to be spread over the rest of us!! Apparently too much $$$ were spent on tech, so they have to claw... — read more
More information is often better for everyone
Someone made an excellent point that there is generally not much reason for BNY Mellon to keep some things secret. This is exactly what is happening here, things that should not be hidden from employees at all become top secrets. This is certainly... — read more

Bad managers tarnish reputation
I thought moving to BNY Mellon would be a great career progress for me. I forgot that a very bad manager, who continuously frustrates the whole team, can spoil an entire organization. Why does BNY Mellon allow such managers to tarnish its reputation? — read more
I don't get it
Someone told me that a person replacing a colleague who left is paid more than he was. It is hard to believe this, given that this person with vast knowledge and experience left because of inadequate compensation. In addition, his replacement has... — read more

No other bank has this high of a view count (most have views that go into high 100s and mayby 1000s) BNYM has programmed bots to scan each post for any updates and they roll up reports for management. As these bots visit each post several times a... — read more
