Do contractors stay a while at BNY? The rate is good, but i wonder how long the party lasts and whether i should accept a FT here

I got a new offer, but I'm still sad to leave because here I had the opportunity to work with some of the best people, the best experts and in a much better atmosphere. If someone told me a few years ago that this place would be full of... — read more

Does anyone else who’s been here many years feel they’ve wasted their career ?

The previous place where I worked, it was quite natural to sometimes ask the manager for some advice. The current manager here I would never ask for anything because he is completely disconnected from our team. I hope this manager is a lone case at... — read more 

Has anyone cashed out their pension after leaving? It’s not a large amount but left a few months ago and never received any information on the plan or options…

I noticed many new recruits who join full of excitement and hope for the future quickly realize they've made a huge mistake. I don't want to feel bad for them since they made their own bed (never join a company before doing proper research on it) but... — read more

I understand that facing competition requires stronger teams. However, it seems to me that most managers here believe that stress and a negativity will make stronger teams. What I’ve been experiencing here lately is disaster. Before I give notice... — read more

Am I becoming the dumpster desk since staffs are gone?

700,000,000 (profit) /50,000 (employees)=$14,000 per employee profit in one quarter. Multiple that by 4 and just ugh. All of 2021 I worked weekends more than a handful of times, I did on call support every month, I completed every assignment asked... — read more 

I did the best I could, I was maximally engaged, I love my job. In the end, I asked my manager what I could do to get a promotion. His answer was rather vague, as if he himself did not know what to say to me, but he emphasized that "I shouldn't... — read more

I’ve never worked for anyone as ignorant and close minded as my boss here, and I can’t wait to get out. Worst problem with this place is they’ll keep the d-mbest people in important positions for way too many decades.

I got a better paid job at another bank, but the title is lower. I don't have much time to make a decision, which is not easy, because I don't want that decision to jeopardize my future career. On the other hand, I really want to leave BNY Mellon... — read more 

I know my worth. I know they can't replace me easily and I know they know it as well. I'm perfectly happy to continue doing my job and continue giving it my all from home. If they want me back at the office, they have to pay me more. It's as simple... — read more
