Heard it here first. Is a merger really in the works between BNY and _ in 2026?

Has anyone who was forced out due to RTO found an attorney willing to pursue severance claims against BNY? If so, could you share their name?

Last week higher mgmt called me and just straight up told me to stop coming in. Told me I’ll receive my notice in writing in the new year and I’ll receive a few months of pay. Benefits will last until EOY. Ummmmmmm is this normal??? Where’s the... — read more

Welcome to BNY Mellon, where corporate communication is less about informing employees and more about testing their tolerance for absurdity. Think of it as a daily improv show where the punchline is always the same: we don’t believe you. At the top... — read more

3 years ago when I interviewed here I was told very explicitly overtime was optional but apparently I am not meeting expectations because I’m not working enough overtime/holidays?? I guess it’s a wrap for me.

Do we have sufficient seats ? any news ?

Sad day today with Wexford office closing. Years of experience being thrown out the door. No matter the quality of training of new recruits it won’t replace the decades of experience. The clients will notice, but the bank won’t care.

I spent years in BNY, hopping around different departments. I never had some grand master plan — I just kept saying yes to new things, even when they made me uncomfortable. Eventually I landed in a certain role, and that’s where things really kicked... — read more

As a people manager I've just been invited to training for the team members I was forced to rank as "achieved some expectations". I'm UK based but appears to be global training. Anyone know what the consequences this year of getting partial is?

Freedom has come. I have landed a ki-ler position that actually says WFH is where its people are happiest and they are happy to allow it. So how do I go about resigning? Is there some procedure for that? I’ve been counting the years to do this!
