You are still allowed to work 3 out of the 5 days at home- that's still pretty good. They can REALLY monitor everyone to strictly work only 3 days a week? Isn't WFH better than calling off "sick" or something? What happens when another... — read more 

How do you guys handle 7/8am meetings when RTO? Should I be in the office by 6am to take these calls??

So I took FMLA leave due to stress and anxiety from too much work and burnout. I am supposed to return in two weeks but I want to return with a flexible schedule. Not sure if my manager is willing to accommodate me so I am on the fence about... — read more 

I am not.

Is this true or is my manager lying to me

Has anyone had comp discussion with their manager yet?

Only essential people need be online... truly time for Netflix!

Just a heads up for anyone getting sh1tcanned, all commuter benefits are considered non-refundable and BNY closes your account and takes the money. Didn't see that footnote in the quarterly earnings. Stay classy BNY.

Go read the comments on Mysource for Todd’s blog. Priceless in that some aren’t even holding back

Here we all, more or less, now have to do the work of those who have left. However, do they understand that it is often impossible to cover for former employees that have left, because these people had more expertise? BNY Mellon doesn't seem to... — read more 

Already 3 posts about WFH. Making sure to give them 5 stars since really the company would save millions right? No buildings to pay taxes on, upkeep, utilities, etc. What were they thinking of letting us give them efficiency ideas? LOL.

Can anyone please tell what increase if at all and bonus they are planning for this year?

With everything going on I’m curious if there are folks out there who are beginning to look elsewhere for a job or are embracing the RTO.

Just heard from senior management that there will not be a mask or social distancing requirement when we return on March 7. No special seating arrangements either. Masks are only required when "in motion"

Just curious… those who are bonus eligible, any word on which paycheck it will be in? I heard it was next month but that doesn’t line up with previous years.

I wouldn't agree with those who say that nothing has changed here for years. It is changing, but unfortunately, for the worse. I got a job here almost 12 years ago. I think it is almost impossible to compare this place with what it was a decade ago... — read more 

Wonder how many more people will be offsite or gone. The percentage of un-boostered is much higher than un-vaxxed.

This Just in! You have to have had 3 shots to go into the office! You have to be "up to date" which as Dr. Todd states per CDC includes a booster. is this the breaking point?

last week they announced return to office, and this seems like the first monday we did not have a peakon survey sent out.

Audit is 2 days a week in office - details are still being finalized. 2 is better than three but 2 too many. Worse yet is the ridiculous propaganda explaining RTO versus Future of Work..... who comes up with this Bullsh*t - worse yet - wait to... — read more 

BNY Mellon has become the perfect place to join, stay for a year or two until you've accumulated enough experience and knowledge and then take what you've learned to a bank/company that will appreciate you for what you bring to the table. Staying... — read more 

If the unvaxxed are still able to work from home on March 7, I would think that at some point a mandatory Vax date will be announced.

Everyone doing satire these days

If one isn't vaccinated (or is but decides to pretend that they aren't) and doesn't have (or wish to share) their vaccination card, will a "guard" really turn them away: "go back home!!! That is an order!!!" This should be interesting. Is there... — read more 

What WILL the first day back at the office be like? Massive line at the turnstiles while the "guards" check to see if you have proof of vaccination? Will they tell you to "go back home" if you don't have your card? This should be very interesting... — read more 

I also think a lot of people are going to use the hybrid method with a heavy leaning towards continuing working from home; maybe a token day or two (per week, per every other week) in the office. But, seriously: what happens when another variant pops... — read more 

It’s very important to stay marketable, but it’s not that easy. I thought that the experience I gained here during 4 years would make me more marketable, but that is not the case. What is the best way to stay marketable? What are you doing to stay... — read more 

How long have we been home? Suck it up. Life needs to get back to normal. You are all a bunch of whiney snowflakes.

Where did Todd get his medical degree to tell everyone what’s best for their health ?

Can we have a similar thread for the US location please? I didn't know there was such thing as salary bands. Interested in New York, grades J, K, L, M

My discontent at and with BNYM has turned into hatred and resentment. I’ve been looking for a new job for almost two months. I’ve been on 6-7 interviews but I’ve either turned them down or not heard back yet. Every day is worse and worse here. My... — read more

I see a lot of very young folks have been joining lately. I'm assuming the reason is either they're cheap and we all know the bank wants to cut costs any way it can or we're at the point where nobody with experience wants to join so we don't have any... — read more
