So many here really have to develop a thicker skin ASAP. The things some of you are complaining about are nothing but a fact of life. This is a job. You do this in exchange for money that helps you survive. Nobody loves their job, other than a... — read more 

Daily notices of someone in the office infected with the Rona. No way I'm coming back to that petri dish anytime soon.

Well it's that time of the year again for this cr---y company if you can even call it a company. Are you on pins and needles wondering if you will make the cut or get cut? Next week will be a year for me and though it was difficult after so many... — read more 

This company is out to grind us up but it also expects - or better yet, demands - our unwavering loyalty. All that while laying us off constantly and treating those who are being let go like dirt. So why in the world should I or anybody else stay... — read more 

Since we all have been working from home for months and the company isn’t flexible with remotely working from a foreign country, I was wondering if any of you pushed their luck and moved abroad without letting anyone know.

Too many people love to blame the bank for all of their problems when they're the ones who are in control of their lives and they're the ones who choose to stay. There are plenty of available jobs right now. If you're unhappy with your current one... — read more 

Getting let go was probably the best thing that happened for me. I quickly found a new job for a lot for money. The culture and stress is so much better. My manager actually knows me and appreciates my work. I recently completed my first performance... — read more 

Just curious who here is having to work on New Year’s Eve? Even though the CEO said we have been given an extra pod holiday, I’m being told that I’ll need to work that day.

Greed has been steering this ship for years. Until that changes, we'll continue to be treated like a cost to be cut and not an asset. And that's why so many employees don't care anymore and will continue to give their minimum. If going above and... — read more 

I have witnessed many of my colleagues leaving BNY Mellon just because of the manager. Better said, because of the inexplicable animosity of their manager towards them. How many more great employees will leave just because they are not among the... — read more

I’m curious what anyone has been hearing about this year’s bonus and merit raises. I have some coworkers who believe they’re going to be good this year after almost everyone got no merit last year.

My colleagues are mostly leaving because of higher pay, however, I would be happy to work for less just not to be under so much stress. The amount of work and the pressure have become unbearable. I have to leave. I don't need childish advice to... — read more 

Let's start this year by doing everything right. By hiring actual experts in each role and making sure their managers at least know what their jobs are. Let's promote people based on meritocracy and what's good for the bank. Get rid of the useless... — read more 

What are your New Year’s Resolutions for BNYM and related topics? Moving up? Stay the course? Moving out? Happy with banking?

So many people seem stuck on looking for a new job at another bank. The majority of jobs can be done at other companies in other industries, you don't have to limit yourselves. Let's say you’re in finance. Apply for openings in the finance department... — read more 

I would love to believe what someone here has said that people 55 and older can easily get picked up elsewhere. I'm not so sure about that. That's why I'm afraid of the layoffs that are being talked about more and more. Do most people really think... — read more 

People, every one of you has a set of skills and talents that you need to decide if you're willing to tolerate abuse while getting paid for their use here or taking them somewhere else where pay will come abuse-free. It's all on you. I don't know one... — read more 

Short title says it all. Absolute vile place.

I started back earlier this year and cannot do this anymore.. plus it's no longer in my interest.. I've found a role that's in my interest and company. If I put in my 2 weeks, could my manager decide to let me go earlier? or should I not put in the... — read more 

I changed roles back in June (moved up a salary grade), didn’t receive any training, then my manager and her manager left a few months ago. The group is being run by a consultant. I’ve never worked in such an unorganized role with no structure. I’m... — read more 

And as usual - the company decides to give an extra day off AFTER all the other companies decide to do it. This place can’t make a decision on its own for the life of me!

I used to worry a lot about being cut. Worrying ahead of time is just self induced suffering, it's pretty pointless. I also think that worrying, in general, is pointless. Management needs to ask themselves why there are more and more people who... — read more 

People are already talking about the target groups for the January layoffs. No one ever knows for sure who will be the target, but what I have noticed during the last rounds of layoffs is that the targets are always some of the best people. Of... — read more 

It’s always the ones who contribute to the issues on their teams who try to convince other people everyone else is the issue. You wouldn’t have problems if you actually got to work on time, stopped talking all day and actually worked

Any word on which groups will be impacted or will the 55+ get targeted?

BNY pausing return to office AFTER Apple, JPM, Wells Fargo, and Goldman is doing BNY, always a follower and never an industry leader. Clowns!!!

I don't know how our management looks at it, but it seems to me that the situation is very serious. All the best people have either already left or are leaving in large numbers. What kind of place will this be after all the talented ones leave? My... — read more 

Everything I know about BNY Mellon is a joke. So I'm assuming their legal team is third tier at best. Can someone describe BNY Mellon legal recruiting? In my city we just took the local law school flunkies. Archer

Do the following. Whenever your manager is lurking about, slam your hands or something on your desk. Also try loud exclamations using mild epithets. Loud, sudden noises. Managements biggest fear is that someone will go postal. Do not direct this... — read more 

Jim Crowley at Pershing is completely asleep. His whole company has left yet he refuses to take action. Wonder what Robin/Todd are thinking of the weak leaders under them. Then again they’re also weak leaders

For as long as nobody in the management is held accountable for their actions, things will not improve. And since that's never going to happen, the best thing to do is walk away.

Little by little, BNY Mellon has now crossed every line. A year and a half ago, they started adding more work to me. When I finally got used to it, they added more and so on. All the time I thought they had a limit, that they could feel when it was... — read more 

Would someone share salary ranges please. Thank you!

A subset of board members are dissatisfied with the pace of the IT effort to automate manual processes. Look for a new CIO in 2022.

Why are there so many of you that make life miserable for the rest of us ? You don’t want to work, always call out and have to be babysat so why not do everyone a favor and leave? Yet you are the ones who don’t get laid off either

Aside from the fact that I think most managers here are incompetent and uninterested in their work, a lot more worrying is that some of them do not really want to see happy employees?! Whenever I was happy and relaxed at work, my manager tried to... — read more
