I was part of the mass layoffs in December. The other day I received an email from a recruiter about a few contract to hire openings that they felt I’d be a good fit for. They found my resume on one of the job boards that I’m using. I stated that I... — read more 

I heard the Liverpool Pershing office is closing down (Relocation, poss Manchester?) I just wondered, if it's accurate, what people's experience was of these layoffs/relocations outside the US. Is it as heartless? Poorly communicated? Forced "false"... — read more 

That's that, anyone EXITED for the new merch. Nobody really has anything better to do.

I think most floors (business units) have heard whispers about relocating away from downtown Boston as a cost savings measure. One Director on my floor had their employment very swiftly terminated this week as they apparently shared what they knew... — read more

You can feel it everywhere. Nobody believes in leadership anymore because they haven't gives us a reason to in a long time. The ship is sinking fast and everyone knows it. If you're not job hunting, you're one of the few who isn't.

Curious to know where folks have landed after being laid off and if anyone ran into trouble going to a new financial institution. Sometimes I feel like BNY being on my resume is more reputational harm than good

I left BNY and every day I'm thankful. What you all are going through to this day sounds awful. I hope you all find something better soon. You deserve it.

I know there’s a good bit of you on here that were let go in early December and were sent that BS separation letter to sign. My question is: if we agreed to sign it, that meant we stayed “employed” until March 31st and that would be our last day of... — read more

Has anyone heard of any changes to in-office expectations from 4 days to 5 days in office?

Anyone in NY/NJ have a good recommendation that was successful dealing with this God awful company?

Every time I walk around the office and see anyone with Eliza on their screen I just shake my head. Beside the fact that it’s not very good, I think it would be quite amazing to see the EC crash out if they saw a fat 0% use rate when they obsessively... — read more 

VP II here, or as they call it now VP. I saw a SR VP position posted that was listed as a 'pipeline' position. They shouldn't list positions they aren't actually hiring for currently but I digress. I applied to it and let the hiring manager... — read more 

I don’t even care if I give myself away on here, because I need to say this. Over time, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern in how several senior directors operate, I’ve seen certain leaders target employees outside their own unit through gossip, and... — read more 

We're stretched thin, underpaid, and drowning in work, but they keep organizing these mandatory happy events. Last month our manager brought snacks while pretending our 60-hour weeks don't exist. Is this just us? If not, does anyone actually feel... — read more

A colleague of mine was fired yesterday. 6 months to retirement, but they fired him paying a severance package. How does this make sense? He was let go by a new manager appointed recently (6 promotions in 5 years - yeah, its possible) who doesn’t... — read more 

My manager is only capable of micromanaging, nitpicking, and creating problems out of nothing. That's it. That's his whole shtick. How these people get promoted is beyond me.

Anyone get their goals? Why are there so many? This isn’t manageable. I don’t get what any of them have to do with me. Create 10% digital employees, reduce night shift by 75%. Um I don’t have staff, and I don’t work night shift. I’m assuming... — read more 

As we just had layoffs the other day, do we expect to have layoffs in another three months? There’s a rumor of restructuring at the end of may which would coincide with this. Anyone else heard of this?

Is it just us, or is the hiring ban only 'optional' for certain teams? Anyone heard when they’re planning to unblock reqs? It's a nightmare now. We can't replace leavers

Can any kind soul remaining in the he-l of BNY access this link and share the Strada link? Thank you. https://mysource.bny.net/static-assets/hr/pdf2/Strada-Payroll-Access-Leavers.pdf

Has anyone counteroffer the initial severance package offered to them? If so, did you win get what you asked for? Or did they rescind the initial offer altogether?

You can’t expect people to perform while there’s a constant axe over their heads. Living like this all the fu--ing time is inhumane.

Bny at it again today. Targeting wfh staff again. Whose teams got clipped this time?

There is no low that is low enough for these snakes

Has anyone tried to use WFA days in 2026? Does the system force you to input 2 consecutive days, and does Friday/Monday count? Thanks.

We’re seeing a significant decline in leadership engagement, which is directly impacting our ability to meet deadlines and maintain client satisfaction. The current culture has led to widespread morale issues. No one cares anymore.

Does it actually matter whether your RTO is ‘above model’ or ‘on model’? Because showing up 4 days a week is enough tiring. Going beyond that starts to feel like voluntary suffering.

If you are a PO, PM, scrum lead, BA, RTE in P-M - how are you not losing your mind? The amount of administrative BS we have to do is pure insanity. I have no other word for it. How, on gods green earth, is this an efficient way to work?

Last few town halls, CEO in jeans and boots with huge belt buckle, now COO with jeans, sneakers, no collar shirt. Is this now the business casual standard? If so, I’m here for it.

Does anyone know if/when those who received stock as part of bonus will receive or see shares?
