BACK TO THE OFFICE
Heard from a good source we will not be going back to the office until May or June. If Omicron is subsiding, they want to make sure there isn't a resurgence.
Astronomical stress
Sometimes I really wonder why I need all this, why I don't accept any other offer just to get rid of so much stress. Our manager only knows how to set unrealistic goals and create stress. It's getting worse day by day. Is it even possible to... — read more
HR is the worst

Friend quit for lower pay
We both have been considering quitting for months and looking at what's available, but he decided that he'd had enough and he just wanted out. The first offer he got, he accepted. Nearly a 20 percent cut in pay but he was willing to take it. I envy... — read more
Not showing proof of covid
Idg why the bank is not asking their employees for proof of a positive covid test. You’re giving two weeks pay without knowing if someone is blowing smoke. Makes no sense

There are worse things than being laid off
The well intended people who advise to "keep your head down" do not get it. This mentality is part of the over problem with the company. I have many relatively senior colleagues who have selfishly uttered similar sayings. These are 55+ year olds who... — read more
Ireland Shortages
The shortage of employees in Ireland is devastating at the moment. Nothing is being done to resolve the issue. This leads us to think one of the offices could be closed in 2022. Dublin will always be protected so Cork v Wexford? The lack of... — read more
Pay is too low
Actually, pay is low if you look at the amount of work that needs to be done and the stress that needs to be endured. Every colleague I talked to who's left here, has received a much higher pay in their new companies. I think BNYM will have to give... — read more

Difficulties filling job reqs
What do you think is the reason? Is Bny having difficulties filling job reqs because they aren’t remote based?

BNY Human Resources is a great summary of the company
When I worked for BNY we had to use external headhunters to attempt to hire anyone remotely qualified. Since I've left BNY HR called me in attempts to set up an interview and didnt realize I was a former employee. The worst HR department I've ever... — read more
CITIBANK
Fox Business news story. Citibank will terminate all non vaxed employees by January 14th
micromanagement
This is new to me. I have been working here for a long time and I have never been under so much pressure as now. Why so much micromanagement? Control and monitoring everything only reduces productivity. Or perhaps that's their goal? To have employees... — read more
Reaffirming commitment to equal opportunity email
So discriminating against unvaccinated employees isn’t included? Apparently the line that says ‘employment practices are based solely on the qualifications of each individual and appropriate job related standards’ doesn’t apply to the unvaxxed. Guess... — read more

Do I still get it? I had a full year service last year.
No need to work hard
If you expect to see your skills and work ethics appreciated here, think again. BNY Mellon only rewards yes-men and yes-women who do nothing but are experts in brownnosing. If you have no issues with that, you'll do great here. But if you have... — read more
