Anyone got any reliable information whether this policy will get extended. If so, will it get extended to only certain staff or everyone?

I’m fed up with certain managers using fear tactics and bullying as their go-to strategy. It’s ki-ling team spirit and dragging down results. This can’t keep happening. A workplace shouldn’t feel toxic or oppressive. Things need to shift, and fast... — read more 

Is there data that can be shared ?

What are the ramifications of not providing notice per policy? If prior years performance bonus is paid 1/31 and 2 weeks notice is given on 2/3 will they require bonus to be repaid because 30 days notice was not given? What are the ramifications of... — read more 

Can someone explain how long you have to wait before resigning after bonus is paid?

Do we know this for a fact? I was told 2/3 to 2/6. Then folks who will be whacked get normal pay and benefits for 2/15 and 2/28. Then the new severence kicks in. Source: @bp+1jj94pbs2

I understand if you have anyone reporting to you, it means you have to do 4 days per week in office. But is there a cut off point, when it will trigger the 4 days from the next cycle? The policies still make no reference to the 4 days for managers... — read more

Anyone hear any rumors of the Wilmington, DE office closing?

My management chain are now communicating that employees are expected to be ‘above’ model. This came via email and also mentioned on a call. When questioned we were told this is a firm-wide push. Anyone else hearing this?

Besides the propaganda & massive egos on the stage what I took away from this was they were setting the stage for 5 days RTO. Much of the time was talking about the how great the buildings are and how great it is when they come into the office and... — read more

I've been really struggling over the past six months of searching for a new job. It’s not just that there are so few opportunities, it’s also how much things have changed since the last time I interviewed. Apparently, it’s become acceptable to ghost... — read more 

Is there a timeline? I have a friend there, but haven’t been able to get hold of them and was wondering what the status was there.

Shocked by several of the people promoted. Some have only been here for six months, but were promoted to senior director. Others were promoted just a year or two ago and got a promotion again. How does that happen? How could you possibly... — read more

Will BNY stand on principle, or cave to pressure from the orange ogre?

Quiet or large-scale layoffs never lead to increased efficiency or productivity. There’s rarely any proper follow-up in terms of workload adjustments or people management. And, as a rule, several critical roles remain unfilled — without exception. At... — read more 

I wish I could speak freely and specific on here about the detrimental impact on boarding a team from India has done to my department. You can’t tell anyone in upper management, it’s hard to discuss with peers, and the amount of extra work they have... — read more 

It’s hard to tell if I’d feel better staying or getting laid off. Shouldn’t be this torn about it, right? But here I am, stuck between the two and not sure which way I’d actually prefer to go.

With the news that Wexford is closing and the focus on the new office in Dublin, is there any future for the Cork office?

Once they start changing the rules about what we get when laid off, all bets are off. They’ll test the new approach, and if it’s still not to their liking (let’s be real, it never will be if they’re paying anything), they’ll just keep tweaking it... — read more 

Someone told me that.

That’s the problem. A normal person isn't a grifter. They derive satisfaction from professional achievement—doing their job well, growing in their field, and being fairly compensated. They expect, rightly, to be recognized as both a person and a... — read more

The bank will be taking many opportunities to reduce headcount, focussed on higher paid staff with longer tenures and located in offices away from regional HQs. Lower merit and bonus payments is one tool as is performance measurement forced on a... — read more 

All Edinburgh staff encourage to join a call at 1pm tomorrow regarding an important site update…… Wexford call at 10:30am for their news

Breaking news on local radio about wexford closing. Yet staff have heard nothing.

Is this the week that the first round of announcements typically happen?

Leaving isn't as an easy call as I thought it would be. Right now, I’m stuck debating whether to take a less-than-perfect offer (slightly lower pay) or stick it out here. Sure, this place is exhausting and the pressure’s relentless, but starting over... — read more
