Just putting this in here since no announcement ahead of time is planned. To my knowledge, this will be Treasury Services wide. Not sure about other sides of the bank. Highly disappointing since it’ll feel like a rat race to get a seat in the office... — read more

Anyone know if raise/bonus pools are up, down or flat? There’s been no office talk which is weird.

I’m thoroughly confused right now. There’s so much information flying around that I can’t tell what’s true, what’s just wishful thinking, and what’s straight-up trolling.

If I haven't been laid off at this point in the day, did I survive? Or is the hammer just dropping later? For context I'm one of those "partially meets" folks

I wish them luck, and I hope they have already found a better job. I’m stuck here for now, can’t afford to spend any energy on job search and I definitely can’t quit. Just having bad times, and my priority right now is to keep this job for as long as... — read more

It's certainly not going to lock down your job. To stay in the game, you’ve got to play the political side of things. No one works alone. It's all about working well with others. If you can’t get along with your team or the higher-ups, it’s a red... — read more

Is there any clear breakdown of what each role in P-M is supposed to do? Seems like some folks with the Solution Architect title are trying to run the whole show at Pershing. What’s the deal with the Engineers Head and Group Engineers then?

Seems to me the 2-week recharge is code for polish your resume because you'll need to use it soon. BNY has a great record for hiring good talent and then ushering them out the door. The good news is, it will add years to your life for those that are... — read more
