People who think their position at BNYM is safe are delusional. I know a few who think their years here will keep them from ending up on the layoffs list DESPITE it being proven over and over again that it’s exactly people like them (older employees... — read more 

Just waiting for this company to change their name to The Bank of India.

Is there any way to try to keep the job without some unscrupulous backstabbing or brown nosing? When I read some of these threads, I get the impression that it is impossible to keep a job here just based on your hard work and even upgrading your... — read more 

The manager has been giving me work with ever shorter deadlines lately. I still finish everything on time, but now I'm starting to feel like he wants me to fail at finishing the work on time. If I keep working at this pace, I definitely think I... — read more 

Was let go last year because of the bs false BE rating that all managers “fight” not to give. True leaders won’t even think about playing these game, but the managers here use it as retribution to those that don’t “kiss their ring”. Best part of... — read more

You’re a number. That’s it. If you are an all star, they will keep you. If you are not “innovative”, you are on a chopping block. Those are just the simple facts. I was axed 2 years ago, and will say that the grass is greener. The days of working and... — read more 

I joined BNYM about six months ago and I seem to be the only one on my team who is not terrified of losing my job. I swear, everybody is always scared and nobody dares complain or even talk to the manager. For the life of me I can't understand how... — read more

When I found out I got laid off, I was shocked at first. I felt really devastated but I realized that people always ask "Why did this happen to me?" instead of "Why wouldn't this happen to me?". My mistake was that I thought it would not happen... — read more 

I can’t describe how I felt when the person that taught me how to do the job was laid off. Absolutely unfair. She deserved to stay at work more than anyone in my group. BNY Mellon definitely makes completely irrational decisions. I was put in an... — read more

I have been employed here for 17 years.. I can say without hesitation that this is the worst I have ever seen it. Senior management could care less that departments are drowning with work, due to layoffs and not replacing staff. It’s just a matter... — read more 

What's the situation with layoffs? Will there be a continuation today or have they notified everybody who is affected yesterday? There's so little info on these cuts and no official word that i have to ask here. I really wish there was more... — read more

Who wants work for BNY ? Me, me me; if they have capacity to pay 250k a year or else don’t even try me. Remember you laid me off!

What do you think? I'm guessing earnings will be around $1 but after another few hundred million write-off for re-orgs and legal fees we'll miss estimates and the stock will drop 5% for a few months like it always does.

It's been months and I still haven't found a replacement job. I'm at an age where I'm still too young to retire but at the same time nobody will give me a chance to start over (and realistically, I don't even know if I could.) All my plans for the... — read more

Does anyone know of the next round of layoffs started today? There are rumors that this is the week

Employees at BNY Mellon don’t work to live, they live to work. They don’t know how to separate personal life from professional life, it’s all one in the same. That’s why they act the way they do. Working for BNY Mellon IS their life, because... — read more

How long until we hear word about how important it is for us to return to the office in person? Google made an announcement today and the WSJ has a feature article on the same topic. (I know this is not related to layoffs)

If it’s true then only certain business units will be affected. From what I heard, finance upper management told their remaining staffs after the January separations that they were safe for the rest of the year. Now I wonder if they were lying to... — read more
