Read this as a comment in the mental health post, but it deserves to be a topic. If they put me in the 25%, I won't be acknowledging my review, that's for sure. Manager here: it’s confirmed that the new requirement coming from Robin down is to... — read more 

Leaving this right here… In 2022, McKinsey was paid $55 million to advise Warner Bros to combine with Discovery. From 2022-2025, McKinsey charged Warner Bros Discovery $37 million by advising the company to change HBO to HBO Max then to Max then... — read more 

We can’t get scrap for merit or bonuses, people get laid off, those who are based at home are going to be let go if they can’t come into the office, but hey, BNY can sponsor the parade in DC on Saturday “to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the... — read more 

How did it go?

Let me start by saying what a GD joke!! Psychological safety? Promotion opportunities? Burnout? None of these leaders seem to have a clue about what they’re doing, yet they continue to play the “we’re here for you” charade. It’s absolute... — read more

Has anyone resigned due to the toxic work environment? And did you state that as the reason for leaving?

Fifteen years of working in banking like an id--t for nothing. I've lost so much of my life working my a-s off. For what? Just to be unceremoniously kicked to the curb one day, with nothing to show for all the years spent in this sweatshop. There's... — read more

Our CEO in Geneva talking about the future of banking while whatever rubble remaining of his firm smolders. This has been a speed run to being a bottom tier Wall Street firm. A legacy destroyed in a few years.
