now what?!

So tech teams will no longer have the privilege of 10 days only in office per quarter. Archaic applications faltering every day will have even less technology oversight. Brilliant ideas coming from the top!!!

Don't make a promise to me regarding promotion and fail to deliver if you don't want me to walk out. I will not tolerate having a carrot dangled in front of me only to have it snatched away at the eleventh hour. I don't care if it was made by you in... — read more 

So far I'm having no luck getting a new job. I talked to a few people who have left already and I was surprised by the salary increase they received. It's not a slightly higher pay, it's a significant increase. Is it possible that we are so... — read more

It's just all very toxic. I'll be interviewing at another company next week. They can find another architect. This one's seen enough.

another GS boss pulled into BNY. will these people coming in actually help the bank in making the brand more prestigious and bring in better talent or are these folks the misfits of GS?

There are a lot of good threads that get polluted by the same low-IQ posters that ramble on about the same thing. But here's what you need to know: It is clear the current CEO is trying to drive attrition. That is why quality of life (benefits... — read more 

I don't think it's too important to them anymore because they're too preoccupied with their bonuses and don't have much time to spend thinking about the future of this place.

BNYM is like life in a sleepy Midwestern town -- the shady streets, the weekly lodge meetings, golf on Sunday morning, followed by a fried chicken dinner and an afternoon nap. And they wonder why they can't attract young talent. 😂😂😂

The CEO and his underlings have created such a toxic environment here that it seems impossible to fix. They sit up high in their ivory towers, utterly disconnected from the reality of what's happening on the ground. Their minds have become completely... — read more 

So today I made comments on my Peakon survey. We will see if I am here next week! So tired of the values/meaningful work questions. How many others have managers who never tell the higher up’s what you have accomplished? A misguided notion on... — read more 

More like trying to make conditions so bad that people quit so they don’t have to pay termination benefits. Effective 2023 BNY Mellon won’t even match 401k contributions until the end of the year so if you leave mid year - no match. Deep cutbacks... — read more 

Love the threatening tone of the latest communication. If you don't come in 3 days a week, you will be subject to corrective action. This guy has Scharf all over his mug.

I was really disappointed when I became aware of how little BNY Mellon now cares about the quality of its employees. I do not believe that they are not aware that some decisions alienate the best of the remaining employees. On the other hand, I... — read more 

Come September

Imagine how great this company would be without so much middle management that creates so many unnecessary layers of bureaucracy. We would be able to increase productivity by a third, at least. We would also be more efficient, considering that a... — read more 

Following in Goldman Sachs footsteps. WFH only for emergencies, etc.

Why do we still have a mutual fund business, since our WM side is selling more non-BK funds and etfs? Can’t they get $ by selling this business? I don’t know any of the names there anymore, are any good investors left?

My manager here in the UK has stated he can obtain HR data confirming who has made what comments. Does anyone know if this is true, or is manager just trying to avoid us making negative comments? Thanks,

What great news!!!

They’ve been monitoring badge swipes for a few months now. Your manager gets a report detailing compliance with RTO for each direct report: colour coded, maroon, red, mint, and green, based on amount of swipes per month. Make no mistake, a firm like... — read more 

Just came out of a meeting. Confirmed 3 days mandatory in office bankwide starting April 10 unless you have a full remote position.

......badge swipes As a senior manager I am being told to consider potentially laying off the people with the least badge swipes regardless of their productivity. BNY is now a Laverne and Shirley company

I have a lot of complaints too because this could be a much better workplace, but I think some people are very much exaggerating…. Do you really think the grass is so much greener elsewhere? If we're going to be honest about it - not really…
