Sometimes it feels like high school all over again. Coworkers acting like it’s a popularity contest. Bullying here and there. And let’s not forget about those who backstab and gossip when you’re not around. I hate that I have to work with people... — read more 

Is there any truth to layoffs in April. I heard they were coming. It's crazy, I don't know any team that can spare a single person.

Lots of communications emphasizing the digitization efforts, but have they accomplished anything tangible?

A lot of people are complaining about the increase in workload since last year and I believe them. Admittedly, that's not my case but I don’t know how they could give me more work when I’ve already been working so hard for a few years now that I... — read more 

I was laid off but have recently started a new job and I am trying to rollover 401k from BNY into my new employers 401k. The website provided by BNY NEVER seems to work and I cannot logon to access old 401k. Has anyone else had this problem?

My opinion is that the goal of surveys is certainly not to help them diagnose problems that need to be worked on in order to improve culture. In fact, I don’t even know if it’s in their interest to improve it nor if it's even possible to improve it... — read more

Place tries to sell itself as an industry leader, but only leads in poor management. Managers use the force rating policy (unofficial but it does exist) to lay off people that the don't stroke their egos. Promotions are based on cronyism and not... — read more

People need to see the writing on the wall. BNYM was a great employer a long time ago but now it has turned into one of the worst. It's no longer a matter of if you'll be laid of but when. Don't let something so obvious surprise you. After all... — read more 

I see that in the proxy statement Todd received a 56% raise in 2020 - salary went from $800k in 2019 to $1,250,00 in 2020. If that's not a slap in the face to all the employees who received nothing or a mere 1% merit, I don't know what is. So glad... — read more

My manager is an expert on gaslighting. She's a horrendous person, like most managers in Treasury Services, whose only talent is to rely upon one person on their team to handle complex projects while allowing her pals to slack. Rant over.

I haven’t been at Mellon for long, but I see a lot of people on the forum saying that it’s no longer a good place to stay however it is a good stepping stone to go to some better place. Honestly, I don’t know how to use this place as a stepping... — read more 

BNY is a dumpster fire. Our CEO has been sacked twice (fired then rehired then fired again). Companies merged under the guise of “synergies” but just layoffs. Shelf life of BK CEOs is 3 years, I’ve had 6 so far. If you can’t increase revenue you cut... — read more

Someone said that March layoffs are very certain. Any insights on how many people will be affected and who are the targets?

Everyone goes around saying that they have had enough of this place and that they can hardly wait to be laid off. Encouraging are the stories of people who say they are doing much better here after earlier layoffs, but I still take their words with... — read more 

Hello, for those of you who have received sub-pay last year, what does BNYM send you to file your taxes (W2,etc )this year? Since Social Security and Medicare are not deducted are we liable for that when filing? Thanks!

My SUB pay that was deposited yesterday has an additional "Prior Year N" under earnings that is more than a few thousand dollars. Any idea what that is? It appears to be taxable and subject to FICA.

A very poor employer. A flop....muppets trying to be leaders. They are $$ fixated with no interest in people. Living in the past. #outdatedfools
