Layoffs for the remainder of 2025
Can anyone confirm the timings for remaining layoffs this year? Heard first week of November with massive target of WFH. Disgusting how this company values location and DEI numbers over retaining SMEs and high performing, loyal long time... — read more
Some thoughts on H1B
Here are the reasons why many people are upset with a certain group: 1. One group takes up more than 70% of the entire H-1B program. 2. As we all know, some consulting companies abuse the H-1B system because one person can apply multiple times... — read more

New H1Bs
Does this mean more outsourcing or more US hiring? I would hope it puts a hiring pause in place. I could see outsourcing being the next target.
RTO - 7 hours minimum in office
I have heard rumors of an MD meeting that took place recently, need to be in the office minimum 7 hours. Abusing thing will lead to being on the naughty list.
P-M
Sick of these sr leaders talking this sh-t up “just to increase stocks cause nobody else is doing it”. Bny is behind on everything including updated systems and this P-M is garbage, isnt functional and its filled with mo--ns who dont have anything to... — read more
Talent retention
I know this is likely a moot point considering how we in the US are viewed but is it true that the highest pay jump you can receive only 15%. So if you jump from say G to I or H to J you can only receive a 15% raise? How does the firm retain talent... — read more

I'm exhausted
We’ve got more tasks than people, and somehow the management expects miracles. Nobody complains out loud anymore because we all know full well it doesn’t matter. We just get our heads down, grind through it, and hope we don’t get fired in the... — read more

These surveys are a total joke and a trap
The survey questions are not actionable and there is no accountability for the results or corrective action. There used to be a third party that would tabulate and report the results. Now this reporting is managed internally and there is no privacy... — read more
This job feels like an abusive relationship and it’s breaking me down
I used to feel confident but now I doubt myself every single day because of the favoritism and gaslighting here. Even as a top performer I’ve never felt so low about my work. It’s utterly exhausting trying to hold it together and I don’t know how... — read more

Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh leadership team has fostered a foul work environment where it is okay to be unprofessional and racist. Look around, minorities do not thrive in this office.
Peakon Surveys are a JOKE!!!!!
The most inefficient survey. Not sure why everything is open ended… how are you supposed to collect quantitative data that way to measure against a benchmark or standard? Why do we get surveyed so often with little to no change being made in between?... — read more

The Agile crew is still chilling with their sweet 2-day setup.
Year end merit bonuses
I started in January as an engineer and was told a 5-10% merit bonus is typical. Other engineers under my manager have said in past years they have received bonuses. Is this true? When do we know if we get one and when are they paid out?
This is not a winning strategy
The so-called “low cost country” strategy has gutted entire departments and cost us some of our best people. Moving work overseas might save money on paper, but the loss of knowledge, morale, and quality is enormous. The people making these decisions... — read more
Thoughts on the dissolution of Corporate Trust
curious to know everyone's thoughts on the future of corporate trust
RTO isnt gonna work
Do they even want us to work or not? When I arrive at the office, most of my team members have already logged off, since I’m the only one in the U.S. and the rest are in India. At this point, it feels like they’re just trying to tell us to give up
Any shift in hiring
With everything going on with H1Bs and talks about an outsourcing tax has BNY thought about focusing more on hiring in the US? The tax itself seems unlikely, but it still is going to influence the amount of outsourcing a company does. Can’t have all... — read more
Micromanaging all of a sudden? Hmmm

Mental health
Just a reminder to get up, take a break, get away from your computer regularly. Take 5 or 10 minutes every hour to focus on yourself. The clown Robin can afford it, and they're going to mark 25% of us as not meets anyway :)
Below Model fallout!

Ratings for promotions
From the new rating scale, what do you need for a promotion on scale of 1-5. My manager is telling me he can promote team members on met (3) but I heard from reliable sources only if they get 1 or 2 can be promoted. Does anyone know the correct... — read more
BNY is just a job
I’ve learned the hard way not to get emotionally attached to a company. Treat it like a job, not a family or a mission. Give your best at work, but don’t let it control your life or define your self-worth. Trust me, nothing good comes from being a... — read more
