Does anyone feel that their division head is impersonal?

I was laid off the other week. I’m ok with it but laugh to myself, it’s not all on performance. I managed my clients, hit targets but wasn’t liked by x-x. Meanwhile you have people who don’t directly take on work versus use BNY Mellon to promote... — read more 

Were there any layoffs this week? Previous posts indicated action was planned for week of 9/16.

Robin and team gonna get paid big time for the share price.

If BNY is enforcing RTO policies to their employees, they should also 100% enforce the rest of their policies when it comes to compliance related matters of the business. I have seen soo many report policies be broken to the point where if the SEC or... — read more 

Is it just me, or has the whole company hit pause on promotions without letting us know? I was promised one over a year ago, and still nothing. Every time I ask about it, I get the same "don't worry, it's happening" line, but then... radio silence... — read more 

Hi everyone I was recently fired due to incorrect information in my RTO. One thing BNY didnt know is that I have a huge social media presence and will be posting about this horrible new RTO system soon— stay tuned. Anonymous

This new feedback system is automatically selecting people to give me feedback. Some of whom I rarely interact with in my role. Wouldn’t it make sense to choose people that we regularly collaborate with to make feedback more effective? Is there any... — read more 

Not only did we provide you free coffee you also got free ice cream! See you next year!

Many who leave end up regretting it. The grass may seem greener, but it often isn't. I'm not saying not to quit, just don't rush into it. Go ahead and downvote this, but you know I'm right.

How is BNY staying out of the news? All of the major banks have announced layoffs yet there’s no news for BNY even with the endless layoffs this year. Is it because the US jobs are being transferred to India so it appears the total head count remains... — read more 

There's been a strange surge in promotions lately, with employees who don’t seem to know how to do their core jobs. And when someone lacks the knowledge, intelligence, or experience for their role, they get defensive, especially when they feel... — read more 

With so many folks in our later years facing layoffs these days, it seems like companies aren’t too keen on hiring any of us. I'm curious - what are some of you who are in the age group of 55+ doing to land new jobs? Are there any opportunities out... — read more 

Is literally su-king the life out of me. I dont know whats worse. Having to deal with my team, business partners or manager who all know nothing. And none of them listen to anything either which makes logging on dreadful cause its same sh-t everyday — read more 

All the layoffs have been to fund the new acquisition

Was reflecting lately. 3 years ago I had a talk with my manager. Manager: “we want to promote you” Me: “no thanks” Manager: “….what…” Me: “I rather use the time to focus on other things” Manager: “you are insane, you are lazy and lack engagement” *... — read more 

I want to leave this horrid bank, but I don’t have that many great ideas where to. I guess it would be smart to leave banking altogether.

I'm sc--wed if I lose my job, but I don't know if there's anything I should be doing to try and minimize the chance of being cut. Let me say from the start that I know full well that the chance will never be zero, but whatever I can do will help my... — read more 

It’s bad enough to be replaced by inexperienced offshore labor but to add insult to injury, the layoff process is being conducted by an outsourced, 3rd party firm? ( I presume offshore). This is beyond the pale. No call with my manager or his... — read more 

Who decides who gets laid off when a team needs to make cuts?

I don’t know about any of you, but I feel so much more determined and ambitious after Emily’s last email telling us about her Gorilla encounter. Must be nice. The silverbacks take better care of their colleagues than we do.

Anyone know why we’re being forced to take them on teams when they are set up for a 6 month rotation then move to another team. How is that beneficial or helpful to teams who need staff?

I'm Nervous. I average above model every month, and I went on vacation last month and thought I would be on model, but I ended up below model. The manager does not like it, and I'm assuming I'll be on the chopping block next. Did anyone who got... — read more 

I am currently at the point where I'm anxious to get laid off.

Also-if you are in a department that deals with documents that originate from the IRS, there is zero chance that Pune or Poland would take over, as those documents would not be sent there, then on to clients. My daughter who works for a competing... — read more 

How many people laid off last week in the US will be celebrating? The irony. Here I thought RV was a dollard.. Apparently he does have a sense of humor.

Taking advantage of the new analysts is nasty business. Treat them well.

He was about the only thing keeping me and several of my teammates here. We're all about ready to leave after this. Why they would let him walk away is beyond me.

I know, I know - you are fresh out of college and this company with a big sounding name wants to invest in you and make you an RM or analyst. What a great opportunity so early in your career! Yay you!! Except here's the problem you need to think long... — read more

I encourage all those recently affected by layoffs to contact NYS DOL. Undoubtedly, the bank will have a contingency plan in place but it’s still going to cost them reputationally and financially. It’s possible everyone will receive additional... — read more

Does anyone receive their direct deposit 2 days early, and if so, approximately what time of the day do the funds become available? I bank with Citizens Bank for reference

Is in serious trouble. Currently being run by senior managers in EMEA who don’t know the business at all and they just got rid of a bunch of the US folks who did. These people think that all of corporate trust is the same and run it just by... — read more
