Received a teams invite to a call regarding organisational changes which the whole department has been invited to. Does this sound like potential layoffs incoming?

Has anyone been alerted as to what days their department is supposed to be returning to the office? I have heard nothing from my manager.

BNY can do nothing to you. I am getting a bonus so they can claw that back. But if you never received a bonus they can claw NOTHING back!! Also, they still have to offer you COBRA and pay you for all unused and earned vacation time.

The lame bonus (if any) will be deposited into your accounts Monday 2/28/22. Tuesday March 1st is freedom day! The day upon which your resignation notice can be delivered, with pure satisfaction. Whether it be 2 weeks, 30 days, 60 days, Tuesday is... — read more 

I know names will but what else. Have noticed a few gone and can’t figure out why.

As an essential in-office worker, the thought of seeing people again fills me with dread LOL. These past two years have felt like a vacation at work (in the building). Don't take that the wrong way- oh, trust me: I have worked my tail off. I am just... — read more 

will unvaccinated be welcomed back to the office?

Have been waiting on BNYM for over 3 weeks. Being told they need to find a subject matter expert to pull data from older system since a conversion. Guess they fired the guy who used to manage the system. Have you requested the employee... — read more

I have another position lined up. Won't start for 6 months. Even with no notice they have to offer me COBRA.

These cuts that rumors are circulating about will only spur an even bigger wave of departures, as everyone is losing patience with doing double workloads. Given that we are already understaffed, that a large number of people are missing, cuts would... — read more

I'm trying to get an answer to this question but no luck so far with any of my managers and of course the town hall on RTO today was less than helpful. If we apply for an exemption to work from home and it is granted are we basically volunteering to... — read more

Since subways are not safe, you can now bike to office and they will provide racks for parking bikes.

It’s that time where arbitrary goals are pushed down for everyone; the problem is that most are immeasurable and performance reviews boil down to who on the team got through their day with less handholding.

Leadership's expectations are ridiculous. Do they really think that employees will be committed to ensuring that BNYM meets expectations while that same leadership operates below every expectation of its employees? It's high time they rethink... — read more 

Unfortunately this company sets you up for failure everyday. No one ever goes out of their way for anyone - quite toxic. Sad that you can’t trust the people you work with. This is 100% true. This happens because the management wants us to be at... — read more

Recently got promoted to H grade in Tech & Ops. Would 2-3 weeks be enough notice? I can't find anything saying otherwise but just want to be sure.

Is it usually the manager or HR?

Obviously you can’t give real names but I think initials are fine or what department they run. Why tractor boy? Does he sound like he came from a farm? Please - don’t keep us in the dark about this elusive character.

Anybody know if we are somehow approved to remain on work from home after the RTO date if they are going to try to go the Google route of cutting your salary? If they are, do you know by how much percentage-wise?

Everyone ready for the big town hall????

Just curious. I’ve been working for 8 years…recently hit the threshold for 100k here (i started out of college at a different company making 40). It’s been quite the ride over the past few years and thought 100k was a lot but with inflation and what... — read more

Two weeks until two weeks' notice. March 1 can't come soon enough!

I am a low level employee with 2 years at the bank. Will giving no notice of resigning jeopardize receiving COBRA?

I know many people are ready to leave BNY Mellon but I'm worried that in their eagerness to leave they'll end up in the same or even worse position. Don't try to leave as quickly as you can. Instead, do your due diligence. Properly research the... — read more
