I am glad when someone gets the opportunity to work, earn, progress. However, what is Mellon saying to their longtime and most loyal employees if a new hire with little or no experience is paid as much or almost as much as they are? While... — read more
Struggling to hire?
I'm not sure if BNY Mellon is struggling to hire, or delaying hiring new people while squeezing the existing employees? As long as existing employees do a bunch of work without flaws and complaints, BNYM will be very slow at hiring new people.
Those who got the pay increase for 12/1
For those who got bumped up, you are not merit eligible so don’t expect more money
Want to know what’s wrong with BNYM
All you have to do is read these comment sections. Bet they work like they talk . No wonder this place has gone downhill . Not announce of common sense coming from some
Why BNY?
I'm curious to know why people are applying to work at BNY Mellon in this day and age. And I'm not talking about the young fresh out of school graduates with no work experience. I'm talking about the people that have years of experience in the... — read more
BNYM named in Epstein trial
Interesting that a witness from JP Morgan dropped BNYM as part of a $30MM xaction that occurred between Epstein and maxwell. BNYMs part of that wire xfer was for 7.4MM from 2007. Just when you think they can’t get any worse
Tuition Reimbursement Repayment
Has anyone who ever left the company had to repay the tuition back? I left the company in February 2021 due to terrible management and did receive a letter asking for money back. Didn’t repay it and so far nothing else has been sent to me.
Has Anyone Lawyer’ed up a Won due to stress and mental health issues?
Looking for a good law firm who has had success against BNMY
Is Akash Really Still There?
He’s become a legend for his horrific behavior.
Citi employee got ba--s, BNYM got none
At least someone in the financial industry is speaking up. One Citi employee view against the mandatory vaccine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoU3WGsD2pk
I don't have a good experience with smaller banks
Some say that they gained more experience, recognition and reward by working in a smaller bank than here, but my experience is not like that.... Moreover, I worked in a smaller bank where the atmosphere is much more toxic than here. I wouldn't want... — read more
Keeps getting worse
Rumor is all of you who got 'promoted' last year and did not get your raise to go with it, and were told you would be made right in 2022 - it ain't happening...... Also a rumor that this dump may be considered a "gov't contractor" for the sake of... — read more
Does this sound familiar?

I'm done with big banks
I used to think working at a big bank meant having job security. I used to think that sacrificing some things for job security (like the much better culture and work environment) was worth it. I was wrong on both counts. I'm now looking for a way out... — read more
Virgin Pulse Passport??
At this point they are seriously trolling us. As if the tracker wasnt bad enough. Do they seriously expect us to "complete a VPP health assessment daily" before entering the office? how frigging annoying.. what more do these people want from us? — read more
Is there a solution other than quitting?
I am so overwhelmed that I can no longer bear it. I have never been a bitter person, but I am under so much stress that I am becoming very frustrated and bitter. Just when I think that it’s finally enough and they won’t try to add more to my... — read more
You get what you give
How a company treats employees determines how well it'll do. If it treats workers like they matter, like they make a difference, they'll make a difference. But if you treat them like they're nothing but numbers to get rid of whenever the need arises... — read more
Giving extra to those working in office after a holiday
Please explain how that is even fair? Why are those in office working after a holiday being considered for more money while the rest of us working from home after a holiday are once again being treated like we don’t matter . So sick of this place and... — read more
Every day shaking my head in disbelief
The irony is that Mellon was not happy with a colleague who was “not good enough” for them only to later replace him with a student from an average university with whom they are somehow still “satisfied”. Rarely does anything still make sense here... — read more
This is more of a you issue
Stop blaming the bank for being miserable at work. You're an adult perfectly capable of making his or her own decisions. If you can't handle working here for whatever reason, find another job and move on. There's no shame in taking a pay cut if it'll... — read more
BNY is fcked
Good luck folks, BNY is dead. Cutting costs is only way to help bottom line. Every other bank has left custody business so it is now a government job without a pension.
Jobs
If you left or are leaving, what positions are you going to or see? If you left are workout remotely and making more money. All BNY has is a good 401k plan and PTO compared to the market. Do you see this as well with where you are applying or... — read more
Why does it take hours for help desk to answer
The wait time is absurd, they cannot help you half the time and why are they all in India so you can’t understand them . Wtf
Thoughts on work shifted to India
Curious to know everyone’s experience because with what I’ve seen , unless it’s black and white they cannot handle what’s being sent to them and yet nobody higher seems to huge a cr-p. Yet all the cleanup falls on everyone here in the states . — read more
Socials
What's with all the pics on MSS and in the newsletters with people not social distancing or wearing masks? Prepping us for RTO?
More people leaving
We’re losing more people with tenure and experience and upper management isn’t doing anything to keep these people or take off some of the stress and added workload causing them to leave. This is getting out of control now
PAC THIS
Just got final reminder to support ‘Employ Funded PAC’. Let me crack open the piggy 🐷 bank🤣
No Veteran’s Day in 2022
Nice to know we appreciate our veterans and no longer have Veterans Day as a holiday.
Class action lawsuit?
Does anyone know of any claw action lawsuits against the bank for laying off the oldest and sickest workers ?
What are the alternatives?
There are many reasons to leave, however, for those who are leaving because of the mandate, I am really interested in what they intend to do and where they will work? I don’t even know where I would go in case I was scared to get a vax.
Bonus eligible if leaving before February
I'm leaving shortly and I have always been bonus eligible. I assumed that if I left a day before the 2021 bonuses were paid in February, I would be eligible for absolutely nothing. After signing that 30 day notification attestation a few backs, the... — read more
Bank of New York Mellon Layoffs 2022
Will there be any Bank of New York Mellon layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Layoffs next week
I doubt we'll have layoffs during the Thanksgiving week or this late in the week, but if the rumors of November layoffs are true that leaves next week for something to happen. Can anybody confirm that something is (or hopefully isn't) coming? I'd... — read more
Client Onboarding?? Saw this position?
Anyone have any deets on this position? Salary? Vacation? NY/FL? Is the bank really that terrible?
They don’t care about anything but getting to their goal
I don’t really care about the Bank now. I was upset they let me go, but it all worked out great for me and I’m in a much better position now. I do care about my coworkers some of which would not be so lucky if they left, and who the company actively... — read more
Clueless
Employees are leaving because the bank's competitors are offering higher wages, career advancement opportunities and more flexibility. Yet rather than incentivizing employees to stay, BNYM is threatening to withhold bonuses and / or terminate... — read more
I'm thinking of leaving
I would've left even before, but this time I do not want to accept an offer that does not suit me completely. I don’t see BNY Mellon doing anything to keep people. These are all cosmetic moves that don't mean much to anyone. At my age, I wish I... — read more
