"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others,"

This quote best summarizes how I would describe BNY.

Took a new role at another bank but wanted to say thanks for those who posted on here to help others.

I’m gonna miss the devoid and detached emails from Emily as she rammed a company pillar up our cheeks each Monday morning.

I’m gonna miss how they built an office with features we can’t afford because wages didn’t come close to keeping up with inflation and any merit raise covered the cost of health insurance increases.

Keep your heads up if you are still trying to get out. And remember, buy Bitcoin. Or if Robin has his way, Malaysian bonds.

Chevron India is offering their people 2x days a week in the office. I just heard that they plan to keep these, even as US Payroll are being forced to work 4x days a week in office.

So much for "better together"

... personally, if the I'm going to write to Management to try and get India 4x days in office too (including Monday). Fair is fair

How many employees did Basking Ridge office have before Nov 20th layoff?
According to AI, it houses 6000 people. What percentage of the total is the 1319 people they laid-off?
Just wondering, because I read about a WARN Notice investigation online.

For those who get those badge reports, let's say you are based in Optum Circle, but may decide to go to the UHC offices instead on certain days of the week, do you get credit for those towards the 4 days minimum? I asked my boss and they did not know so...

When was Toast’s current hybrid work policy for North America first introduced? The one with different requirements for on-time work for employees living within 25 miles from an office location. Also, is this policy actually enforced for those employees?

It’s awesome that the company spent all this money on renovating the buildings and creating the open floor plan seating just to find out the day of your meeting. You can’t use the office that you booked weeks ago because it has now become somebody’s personal office.

What is the actual point of all of this if they’re just going to change all of the Zirbel offices to individual offices? They should’ve just kept all the conference rooms and let these mo--n stay hidden in their office. This has been such a headache, such a pain, and honestly has created the lowest morale that I’ve seen in a company in my 35 years of working in the corporate environment.

It’s so unreasonable and so disrespectful to treat associates this way when we need a space for an urgent call, we do what we’re supposed to do in reserve it weeks ahead just to have it snatched from us.

Operations doesn't won't confirm if we are expected to perform an inventory count for December, and our last day before indirect takes over is mid month.

Has anyone been through this?
Are we asked to ship our inventory out?
—or does indirect aquire the house "furnished" ?

Received email Friday 11/21 saying ATS team (Legg) in Bedminster needs to go 5 days in office beginning 12/1.

Are you ready to move to your beautiful office at the Pioneer building?

Is anyone actually planning on going to the office 3x a week until their official last day?

United’s Lubbock headquarters is planning layoffs tied to corporate restructuring. The reductions focus on office and support roles.

Use the following template to report any company wide layoffs-

No spamming pls🙏

“Many of you have embraced this approach.” Wtf they’re insane that’s like saying MW cured cancer. Rubbish. name one fool who embraces it

Anyone here from the temple terrace office affected?

Just wondering if there is any consistency across the organization. Is your manager in the office?

Been coming to this place for 5 years .

Any word from anyone is Wisconsin yet?

Current time is 0823am. I haven't heard anything from Ops, Retail, R2B, B2B, VEC...

Would somebody mind copy/pasting the text?

Just in case he wanted to talk

No words

I’ve noticed not many coming into nj office even though I’m coming daily. Is there a rule to not come or work home? I’m getting drained.

Our VP sent an exhasperated email saying that she is doing all she can to "address the cleanliness concerns" in the office and that she has no control over the lack of desk availability. At least on our floor the break room fridge is a complete toxic waste zone and there are regularly old used plates and takeout containers with food still in them laying around.

Kinda funny that people at that level are having to hear and answer to those complaints. Maybe we can have a VP of Custodial Infrastructure?

Just heard the Verizon sign in front of a certain run down office is being remove . Justt bad timing ??

Any chances that those who are in an office are safer than remote workers?

Seems like there is an RTO push, so maybe remote will get hit harder?

Has anyone received formal written communication of any of the following changes:
1) requirement that we are in the office for 8 hours on in-office days or
2) move to 4 days in-office for some LOBs (ie. Corp Risk)?
It blows my mind that they updated the in-office guidance in October and did not send a single written notice to employees before they told managers to enforce it. In Risk, we’ve been informed verbally that we’re moving to 4 days in-office (even though CS just said nothing is changing) but have not gotten anything in writing confirming this is happening or when it will become effective. We should be getting notified of changes like this at least 60 days beforehand.

There’s a rumour that Atleos will leave the new office building in New Belgrade and move to a village called Šimanovci. I hope this isn’t true, but still…

Didn’t last long with the “return to office.”

In the Ashburn office today, compared to normal Thursdays it felt dead. Morale is at an all time low

Campus a graveyard.

Pre covid office was 5 days, so I don’t think it’s new rule. As well it’s too hard to communicate with remote people, sometimes responses are super slow and confusing.

If you’re out on vacation for 1 or 2 days out of the week, what happens with the 3 days in office requirement?

Same question again but on weeks with holidays, what happens with the 3 days in office requirement.

Just saw Truist is calling back all employees to 5 days a week. It’s getting harder and harder to find flexible work options https://www.bankingdive.com/news/truist-rto-employees-in-office-5-days-banking/805291/

This site was a good place for people to come and share knowledge of events that may impact folks, discuss the challenges of a RIF, and generally share information: USEFUL INFORMATION.
It's turned into a place where babies come to bi--h about working in an office, drawing silly connections to stock prices and earnings to RIFs (complete nonsense), and generally complain complain complain.
OMG JUST QUIT ALREADY.
Oh boy here come the negatives ....

RR5 desks being uprooted in our department. Nice cubes being removed in favor of call center style desks sandwiched together with no privacy to speak to customers and clients alike. Floor will resemble a boiler room environment over the next month. I guess we are looking at the Sears customer support model from 1988?

What’s up with it? The expo was cancelled and there’s rumor about the kitchen staff being laid off come December. Does this mean we’re staying at the old office? Does it mean we’re moving sooner than anticipated? Does anyone know?
