This place sends out corporate communications on every day Or month for every group especially the new made of days/ months. Unless I missed it - nothing sent out to the moms for Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day bny moms - may you all find a... — read more
Disappointed
Sr leaders really dont care about this company . Nothing they donis in the best interest of customers anymore. Or employees for that matter. Their comments are literally “if you don't like our rules then you can leave”. What used to be a company who... — read more
I actually do like Eliza
I’ve found creating a personal Agent pretty easy and my team even has projects on development that will save us all a ton of time. It’s not magic but not a gimmick either.
Pennington location closing?
There are rumors that the Pennington office location might be closing. Is this just a rumor, or is it true?
Do not accept a job here
RV is running this bank into the ground. No concern for anyone but himself and the stock price. If you choose to work here, you are running into a burning building. I have been here long enough to say this with confidence, and looking to get out. If... — read more
Does engineering report into LAR or ELIZA?
The more I hear her nonsense about her advocacy for ELIZA, the less credible she seems as CIO. “I don’t read my emails, I just stick it in ELIZA” - she’s either an absolute prompt-engineering wizard to make anything that it produces useable, or full... — read more
Jersey City closing
Colleagues in my division are being told they need to move to 240G
Eliza craziness
They are trying so desperately to sell Eliza as a good thing when we all know it’s really bad, provide lame answers, the agents are just useless.
This leadership is a joke
They’re running this place into the ground while we break our backs cleaning up their mess. Enough. Tear it all down and start fresh before there’s nothing left to save. Either they go, or this whole thing crashes. No more half-measures. No more... — read more
Clown Hall questions that will never come up…
Hey Robin, when do the layoffs in the US stop and when? Do you honestly believe India is stable let alone some innovation hub??? Do tell Hey Robin, what is your ‘real’ vision for this company. What will it look like? How many employees? where will... — read more
May Lay Offs
Does anyone know when the layoff in May will begin? I think I am being set up to justify being canned. I see the handwriting on every wall in my team. Meets rating mid and year end last year and RTO compliant.
Is Digital Assets a sinking ship
Lots of recent departures, but really shocked by today's announcement.
Meritocracy doesn't exist here
It’s frustrating when rankings feel predetermined instead of earned. No matter how well you perform, the results never seem fair. The system’s stacked, and hard work rarely gets recognized. At this point, it’s hard to even care anymore. — read more
When is the next round?
Who knows the actual dates of the next layoffs? Lots of chatter around here about RTO but remember what else is coming…
Based at Home
How much longer do based at home employees have before they get the boot?
Jersey City Parking
How much does it cost to park in Jersey City these days?
Pershing Chief Product Officer gone
Does anyone know what really happen to the Pershing Chief Product Officer Sareena Dalla Brookshire? she is suddenly no longer at the firm.
What’s the ratio?
Seems like every week the corporate communications is telling me to “welcome” a new MD outside hire. Every time I see it I wonder how many experienced worker bees were given the boot to make room in the budget.
NY/NJ commuters, what are your commuting costs after 4 days RTO goes in
After 4 days RTO goes into effect, I would be paying minimum $500 a month and 10 hours sitting in traffic/on train just to get to and from work. So many of us in this area are getting pushed out - 1/3 of the people I used to work with between 2022... — read more
Explain this to me.
How is it I’m unable to work from home during the week taking remote calls from the office but Saturday nights I can be on a stupid resiliency call testing applications for six hours from home?
What can this place possibly offer now?
Other big banks pay a lot more and have more career opportunities. Layoffs also feel less common. Here I feel like they do it every month with February, May, August, and November being the bigger months (especially around Thanksgiving). Work/Life... — read more
How long before circumstances demand otherwise?
We have no plans to return to 5 days in office unless circumstances were to demand otherwise Don’t you all love how they give themselves an easy out? And it’s curious how the senior comittee on one hand states fluffy nonsense that positive... — read more
Agile Flex Office Requirements
Can anyone clarify what the situation is with employees who have the Agile Flex Arrangement? Hearing mixed messages, some saying they will be back 4 days a week office from September, but I don't see anything on MySource about this.
Remote staff gone by RTO date?
I’m on the People Team. I was told that as a remote worker, my job will be eliminated by the RTO date (4 days in office) in September. So there’s no incentive to work. Period. Yet I’m told I need to continue to work and do my job. RV has made this... — read more
Ex-employees from other banks
So many threads on here are from people complaining how much BNY has changed and how brutal the culture is now. It’s become very paranoid and impossible to think you have a long-career here, etc. Are there any colleagues who joined BNY from other... — read more
Next lay off coming?
Sooooo heard May and June is going to be the month of layoffs, thoughts? Do we have the dates??
“Leaving to pursue other opportunities” gag
I heard there was an email shared of an exec in EMEA who was leaving to “pursue other opportunities”…… but under the email announcement was a conversation about their settlement agreement having not been signed and when they should share the email on... — read more
Program Managers will make a comeback
BNY will soon realize we dont need so many scrum masters and train engineers. Technical program managers are so versatile and manage so much that even JPMC and other banks are hiring them at high levels. Naturally BNY is always 5 years behind so we... — read more
I actually like my India colleagues
I'm US based but I like my India colleagues. Every other comment seemed like it was complaining about offshoring but the vast majority I work with are great coworkers who happen to live with a god awful work culture.
This is the trap of corporate America today
If everyone walked out for a week, together, the higher ups would have no clue what to do. They can’t lay everyone off at once, the optics would look terrible, and they’d realize who has the upper hand. Unfortunately, the trap is that 95% of people... — read more
When did BNY turn into this dumpster fire?
It's simply unrecognizable these days.
Working Together Update on the Company News SharePoint site
No comments or voting down allowed?!? So far about 2,500 views and only 12 likes…hahaha
At what point do we finally say enough?
The pay hasn’t kept up for years, but the workload just keeps growing. Every time someone leaves, the rest of us have to pick up the slack - for the same shrinking paycheck. With prices shooting up, it feels like we’re just running in place. Why are... — read more
"We believe that it is important that all of us spend more time together working, leading and learning from each other”
Lies lies lies and more damnable monstrous lies !
Zero Accountability
I absolutely would love to know how good it feels to be above a K grade where you can operate however you want with zero accountability. Global Payments is basically a free for all because the upper and middle management is an absolute s**t show!... — read more
This site is getting more hits than the intranet
all my team are talking about it and apparently lots of other areas too….. how long before the BNY have it shuttered permanently I wonder?
Working together update
I've already updated my CV, how about you folks?
I just need to hear something good for once
Between all the layoffs, RTO, and benefit cuts, it feels like we’re stuck in a doom loop. Anyone actually get a surprise bonus, decent raise, or even just proper staffing lately? I’d ki-l for one shred of proof that workplaces still care. Please... — read more
Forced Ratings, Unfair Terminations: Building a Case Together
I've spoken with multiple attorneys regarding terminations based on performance clauses as a means to avoid paying severance. There may be grounds for a legal case against BNY if we can demonstrate a pattern—specifically, if individuals are willing... — read more
Everett location closing?
Keep hearing rumors that the Everett location will close by Dec 2025. It will su-k that all of us will have to commute to Boston.. has anyone heard anything?
