The state of this company is truly unfortunate, many good people ( across the spectrum ) were let go this past week and joking about it doesn’t make it any better. I’m sure there are some slackers in the mix too, but this really seems to be a... — read more

Who shows a “catch up” meeting on calendar tomorrow” ? Unfortunately it means they are letting you go

So let’s start posting. Avoid speculation. What is confirmed - division/group, locations, numbers.
Labor Day rumors
So there was all of these rumors about four days in the office beginning week after Labor Day, as well as supposed to be layoffs week after Labor Day… Has any of that happened?
Does BNY Mellon really have enough room for all the employees in the client service center in Pittsburgh?

Gadget’s contract not renewed?
Hearing rumblings that Gadget’s contract didn’t get renewed and Robin is looking to replace her. No idea the veracity of these rumors, but since he took ops from her, seems plausible.
Monitoring Network Activity
I heard some rumblings that they are monitoring network activity now for RTO. So if you come in they will monitor your network usage and perhaps raise an alarm if there’s no activity. So badge swipes won’t just be the sole determinant. Anyone hear... — read more
More tone-deaf LinkedIn nonsense
So glad that Gru and his little minion got to hang out at the US Open (in a nice cushy suite, paid for by BNYM, no doubt. They'd break out in a rash if they had to sit with the common people.) And nice of them to post about it on LinkedIn, complete... — read more
How to change industry if I stayed in BNY for over 10 years.

RTO - Swipes
Is there any dashboard that employees have access to to check? The policy is confusing. 3 days week, but what if there is a holiday? Or you take a day off? Then you still need 3/4 days? What if you take 2 days off, then only need to come in 2/3... — read more

Public perception of BNY Mellon as a workplace
I was delighted when I got the job here. I really wanted to work here. But now I think younger people, talented and capable, are not that impressed when they hear BNY Mellon. Any thoughts? It will be very difficult to correct that, of course, if... — read more
