I’d rather x than work at BNY another year. I’ll start… I’d rather insert my arm into a bear trap and gnaw it off with my own teeth than work at BNY another year.

Has anyone who got laid off been able to collect PA unemployment?

I am considering another opportunity with a required start date in early November. The other company is not willing to change the start date. Leaving before year-end may affect my annual bonus and 401(k) match. Does anyone know the last date we must... — read more 

I missed last month's required in office days by one. I can still go in and book a day off if I need to make myself compliant. Do I need to do that though or will I get a free warning/one free strike? Or is it too risky? I was only off by a day and... — read more

We spend so much time starting things that never actually get completed. By the time we're getting somewhere, management has usually decided we're doing something else.

So, here in Dublin employee from outside Ireland are celebrated excessively and there is even advice on immigration/visa! Talk about rubbing it in after just closing offlices in Cork and Wexford. Perhaps those offices were not diverse enough?

Hearing rumors of more 30 day notices being done 09/30. Anyone else heard anything?

All the major networks ran a scary story about Anthropic AI and its danger to humanity. Forget how worthless it is: it is dangerous.

With Amazon's recent announcement of investing 230 million in pay and benefit increases I bet Robin and the EC team will feel some pressure to also increase benefits.

Why I hate BNY every day during work.

Spare us the con game!

After some of legal was forcibly merged with compliance, people originally from legal are jumping ship and it has been one of the most satisfying things to watch. Especially knowing the egotistical “head of the table” has to be scratching his head as... — read more

When all this company worries about if offshoring jobs to save a buck and push their AI (All India) initiative. What a joke!

Any more cuts expected?

Just found out a few people that I work with from Pittsburgh were let go( cash team) This is crazy!!!!!

Irony that MAGA accounts are serviced by team's from India and H1Bs. Why not local talent that can support the same. Again no wonder the data of account holder and kids are open season for offshore.

How come bony can periodically layoff tenured folks and still hire and sponsor 100s of h1bs
