how ethical is BNY Mellon? I was asked a similar question by some person recently and I would've preferred to say that I no longer work here.

Looks like everybody at BNY Mellon has one thing in common: none of us want to be working here anymore. We might differ in many, many ways, but from what I can see, the desire to leave this place for good and as fast as possible is universal. It... — read more 

Why am I back in the office again? What’s my purpose in being here if I’m just gonna be on teams and webex all day?

The other day, for the first time, I decided to remain silent about working at BNY Mellon. I used to be proud to have a job here, but not anymore. And not only do I no longer have the passion to work here, but I know that many others no longer... — read more

Where are the employees going to sit now?

With all the people leaving, it feels like we're beyond the point where we'll need layoffs. We might actually come to a point where the management will be forced to improve working conditions to retain employees because so many are finding out that... — read more 

You might work a while at a bank or two with some of our issues, sure. But there is no other bank with all of our issues, the sheet severity of the toxic environment and the lack of any credible business plan. This is the worst managed bank... — read more 

And Todd can tell us some more jokes?

They continually regard employees as so stupid they would buy into their flimsy corporate rationalization of RTO.

There is no successful company that treats the best employees badly to the point that they start leaving on their own just so that the mediocre people who know how to please the management are more comfortable. This is unfortunately what is ... — read more 

What are BNYM Levels and Grades?

Heads of the business in Ireland need to be removed from post with immediate effect and no severance. Mismanagement has led to a 10 million fine. The crew leading the 30% club need to answer for the failings of those they pushed to the top. Issues... — read more

I’ve listened to the chief revenue officer going off about the new CEO. Assume he’s first out?

Disrespectful behavior of managers towards the most loyal employees is shameful. This was my dream job, but after seven years, after seeing a lot of what goes on here, I no longer have any respect for BNY Mellon. Admittedly though, BNY Mellon is not... — read more 

Not a post about layoffs but Pershing is losing staff left and right by the associate’s choice. That is because there are real management issues. Cronyism with favorites being promoted. Many leaders who are not talented or effective. There is a... — read more 

I work with 2 others in a specialised team. I have found out, the others earn 100k more than me, and we are all the same grade I. I feel gutted.

I sometimes wonder if people who keep claiming that BNY is not as bad as we're making it out to be have ever worked anywhere else but here. You really can't have experienced work somewhere else and claim with a straight face that BNY is fine... — read more

We're now well into 2022 and I'm still here. it's not for the lack of trying. I keep applying. I keep interviewing. But when I reach the pay negotiations, nobody is willing to pay even close to what I make currently. Now I have a feeling I'll be... — read more 

The sad culture here in my 11 year work experience with this Bank is they want people to sit quietly at the desk and do their work, don't want people to ask enough questions , do what is told and we shouldn't be creative enough.

Ex-BNY employee here. All the info I get from friends still there, people who have been laid off and HR people is that it has been a massive exodus. Layoffs continue, employees leaving to make more $ at other firms (nothing new there), job reqs not... — read more

Now only if BNYM would and stop playing doctor to employees
