Todd sent his e-mail at 11:11 AM EST and one of the company kiss @sses replied to the blog post by 11:14. If someone reading this works with the dork, politely tell him what a pathetic loser he is.

BNY Mellon is once again proving that it doesn't care one bit about its employees and their wishes. They'll put all of us at risk to bring us back to the office for no good reason despite the overwhelming majority of employees preferring WFH. This is... — read more 

The Covid FAQs for BNY Mellon say that in office staff no longer have to social distance and are not required to wear masks. Odd that the CDC’s Guidlines explicitly state: Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and... — read more 

Anyone catch the GMI event today? Very little masks in motion. No physical distancing.

What is the current percentage of attrition throughout the company? Is there any way to find out? I think it has at least doubled if not even tripled in the past year or so (if I remember correctly, it used to be around 7 percent.) People are... — read more 

If you want to quit because of RTO or vaccines or masks or whatever is the outrage of the day, where do you think you are going to find a replacement that meets your needs? Nearly all banks have announced RTO. Same thing for masks and proof of... — read more

What’s worse then the stuff posted by management on mysource? The toadies and kiss up sycophants who praise the postings 😎😎😎

However, it is considered ‘lazy and unethical’ for employees to want the most pay for the least work. Is it not corporations that have set the example here? Why are they so indignant when the tables are turned. Isn’t turnabout fair play? — read more 

I hear a lot of this in interviews: "We're a young group ..." I feel like they're telling me that I'm too old to fit in with them and I am never chosen. I don't look old, but I don't look 20 something, either. Anyone else experiencing this?

I recently was put on a leadership team, given direct reports, involved in high-level strategy development, etc. To be honest, I didn’t want any of it, but I figured it could mean a different title and more money. When I asked those questions it was... — read more 

I worked at several companies before I came here and nowhere did I notice as much animosity between younger and older employees as here at BNY Mellon. Is there a rational explanation for such a thing at all? I don't think there is because all... — read more 

Anyone else find these mid-year reviews a worthless waste of time.

I can’t with them anymore. They do 0 - just delegate and then get credit for others’ work. WHY DO WE NEED THEM AGAIN?

Is BNY Mellon one of the worst banks when it comes to resolving the issue of returning to the office?

I had 10+ internal job applications lingering on without a status update for months. All of a sudden I started getting the calculation emails. I guess this is the third one over the past few days. Anyone experiencing the same? Are all the... — read more 

Who exactly are the group of employees that qualify the small percentage that will remain remote?

This is the choice given by management to BNY Mellon employees.

Who wants to bet it will mostly be softball questions from brown nosers in the audience? Post cringe moments here.

I need to move on - i am a mess with anxiety. even with surrendering to the vaccine requirement, the RTO FAQ look like something for a prison sentence. can anyone provide tips on how or where to start? any recruiters people in the US can recommend?... — read more 

If they could demonstrate that they care less about employees, I don’t see how. Older employees, used to abuse, will tolerate it. Younger employees though, will head for the doors for more progressive situations. Well done BNY!

I'm not an attorney but nothing seems right with your employer forcing you to take an emergency authorized dr-g against your will as a de facto condition of employment. I'd like to know what the reasonable accommodations for the unvaccinated will be... — read more 

Posted on MySource today "In applicable jurisdictions, employees who fail to disclose accurate COVID-19 vaccination status and/or proof will be subject to corrective action up to and including termination."

Then how about they provide us with some proper incentives? How about bonuses for those of us who'll be risking our lives by going back? A pay raise would be nice as well, and a significant one at that. They are talking so much away from us, they... — read more 

It is so easy to switch roles at the top. Your role as a chief strategy officer didn't work out homie so let's promote you as a Chief Growth officer and give you a much better salary hike.I am sure you will do much better in your new role at the cost... — read more 

I just heard that If you don’t get the vaccine, the only penalty you’ll face is you have to stay remote. Is that true? So what is stopping people from lying about getting it? And what if a vaxxed person doesn’t want to go to the office, are they... — read more 

This company cannot go 'uncategorized' on this site without it appropriately being identified... Just saying.

We are a means to a financial end. Nothing more. And they have the nerve to ask us to get excited about THEIR goals! What about OUR goals? I have one interview next week. As a programmer, I have options.

Layoffs rumored to be in August or September, is there any insight on how big they will be and who the target groups are? Some say there shouldn’t be big cuts at all given the number of people leaving. I received an offer, so I'm thinking whether to... — read more 

can covid vaccine be mandated by the company when it has not really been FDA approved?

Just got the email from Todd - vaccines being required to RTO for all US, UK, HK and Singapore locations.

My husband was given a promotion that included relocating away from my hub. If remote work was here to stay that wouldn't be an issue, but sadly, it's not. We could get a place that is 90 minutes away from my office, but I’m on the fence about... — read more 

Does anyone know the date for the August layoff's yet?

Why is the post about PauC gone?

How are you spending your days? How are your spirits? I have my good days and bad days and I pray often all while searching.

I must have 10+ applications all "under review" status that are a month+ old. Is there anyone looking into the applications? WTF? What's everyone's experience when it comes to applying internally?

Was laid off after ten years at BNYM and am coming down to my last couple of months of SUB pay and state unemployment. Have been applying for jobs at various companies. Got a first interview at BNYM with a department manager and his assistant. Over a... — read more 

How much longer can this torture continue. Best guess as to when this is ending.

Lack of vision keeping their employees down. That's for sure. On the other hand, why BNY Mellon has no vision is not clear to me. What this bank was supposed to be like if only they had a vision, and what it is today are two different things.
