I've had enough. I never thought I'd quit a job before but this is where I'm now. I gave my two-week notice and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest. It feels good and liberating. Now I'm just wondering why I didn't do this sooner... — read more 

Blimey, how stupid do executives have to be to not get rid of this woman? There is one person who protects her, and you have to ask yourself why. She has laid off anyone who has had the courage to speak up about her incompetence or complain. No one... — read more

Everyone is talking about the change and transformation that BNY Mellon needs because it is “stuck in the past”. I agree somewhat. What I resent about the proponents of the great aspiration for transformation is that they never say how they envision... — read more

I have put in so much overtime the past 10 months and I haven't had a chance to go to the gym that BNY gives out as an employee benefit. Do you still consider gym membership as a perk for employees?

I did two weeks ago and start soon! Great timing considering Todd’s email. Wonder how many more are doing the same?

What I resent the most about those at the top is their lack of direction. I would not dare to say that they are incompetent. They certainly are. However, they are not leaders. And leaders are exactly what BNY Mellon needs. Working under people who... — read more

The reality is, until employees quit working extra hours, taking “promotions “without extra pay, continue to make themselves available morning, evening, night and weekends, management is going to continue taking advantage & treating us this way… With... — read more 

Meanwhile, EC is out of touch. Using an entire conference room as a personal office is not nearly the same experience as employees. Try being at an open desk all day on client meetings and dealing with clients telling you they can't hear you on the... — read more

I just recently got a promotion but was told my raise won't start until April?! What is this all about? I'm assuming it's not retroactive, but seriously how can they give more responsibilities and a title change with no change in pay for a year...

Will there really by a 35% headcount cut? Sit tight folks and wait for the redundancy. Use the head despite your heart telling you to leave. Almost there.

If the general consensus is that all the big banks share very similar problems, then why are more and more of my former colleagues from BNY Mellon moving to the competing bank I am in now? With all due respect to my previous workplace, but I think... — read more
