Welcome BNYs new Agentic Platform! Here you get to help create your very own AI employee that will eventually take your job! This place is a joke.

Hi, I have a team member (UK), and she now has 2 periods in last 6 months where she been 1 day short on RTO and therefore she is red twice on the dashboard. What will the consequences be for her. She just got a confirmation of standards previously... — read more

Has anyone heard anything about April layoffs?

After analyst two year rotational program what happens to most people? Do they get promoted to associate ? Senior associate? Vp?

They're just a cover for building layoff lists. So definitely don't ki-l yourself for this lousy bank. Won't make a difference.

If I take PTO leading up to my last day and return my badge, laptop, and other equipment before that PTO starts, will I still be paid for those PTO days, or would my access be deactivated immediately and my pay stop at that point?

Is there any truth to this? This is roughly 10% of the workforce. Heard it was AI related (same as other companies are saying - fire thousands of people to invest in AI). There is now even a freeze for hiring contractors. Makes me sick working here.

Anyone know what the notice requirements are for VP, SVP, Director when giving notice? I know it's not 30 minutes like when being riffed.

Thoughts on the wealth solutions restructure?

I sit near the “people team” at one of our locations and there’s a very loud male employee who openly talks about “lowballing” candidates and mocking them for asking questions about return to office. You’re all low life henchmen and women for this... — read more 

I am glad that my manager has kept my merit increases at a average of a reasonable 2% for the last few years so that we could 1) increase shareholder value, 2) keep staffing expenses manageable and 3) fund higher salaries for the top two executives... — read more 

Nobody's job is safe here. Not the top people (outside of the C-suite), not the new people, not anyone. You should always know what else is out there. Update the resume, look at postings, keep a feel for the market. I'm not saying interview every... — read more 

This Award is given to the members of the management team or any projects with the intent of a) keeping the staff continuously underpaid because of their bloated salaries and b) any project that is directly related to attributing to further layoffs. ... — read more 

I am honestly asking on what the current employees (lucky ones!) think of the BNY AI "baby" - is it really useful in your daily job? Is the agent doing all boring taks and you just supervise the agent as was imagined originally ;)?

Just joined the bank and surprised about how messy operation is.. This company is a sinking ship!

Atlassian cutting 10%. $ for F1 sponsorship, pink slips for the workforce, perfect partnership for us. So how’s that new BNY / Atlassian merch selling?

Pointed out something that saved my boss from major embarrassment, but instead of being grateful he's upset at me for correcting him? Should've just let him walk into it. Lesson learned.

Anyone else concerned about reporting to office with Iran threatening to attack US Banks?

Does anyone have useful information to provide here? Layoffs, site closures, etc? Please share. This place has become a rant festival.

Toxic place. Work that means nothing. Long days. Constant stress. Never feel safe. Old tech. Nowhere to grow. Raises that don't keep up. Bad bosses. Same thing every day. Skills going nowhere. What am I missing?

So its bad enough we’re losing staff to false performance ratings and India but now we’re going to lose them for imaginary employees. BNY is a joke and everyone needs to get out of banking. All these id--ts are copying each other with RV think BNY is... — read more 

I despise coming in 4 days a week. I get to wake up 1.5 hours early and drive for an hour, for what? I get to fake social interaction with distant department members who don't want to be here just like me. I get to spend $20 on parking. I get to... — read more 

Noticed the total number of views on a significant number of topics have been downwardly adjusted. Topics that literally had several thousand views now have hundreds or less views. @thelayoff.com - Why the reduction? Reader interest in BNY layoff... — read more 

Watching promotions happen makes you wonder whether performance is really the deciding factor.

Most of the posts here are from people who were let go or did not like the company policies like RTO. Would like to hear from folks who left the firm as you couldn't deal with your immediate manager or one above them - basically management who knows... — read more 

I spent four months searching while employed and it was one of the hardest stretches I've had. The pattern was always the same. Clock out from the day job, eat something quick, then sit back down for round two. Applying, networking, following up. It... — read more

I was part of the mass layoffs in December. The other day I received an email from a recruiter about a few contract to hire openings that they felt I’d be a good fit for. They found my resume on one of the job boards that I’m using. I stated that I... — read more 

I heard the Liverpool Pershing office is closing down (Relocation, poss Manchester?) I just wondered, if it's accurate, what people's experience was of these layoffs/relocations outside the US. Is it as heartless? Poorly communicated? Forced "false"... — read more 

That's that, anyone EXITED for the new merch. Nobody really has anything better to do.

I think most floors (business units) have heard whispers about relocating away from downtown Boston as a cost savings measure. One Director on my floor had their employment very swiftly terminated this week as they apparently shared what they knew... — read more

You can feel it everywhere. Nobody believes in leadership anymore because they haven't gives us a reason to in a long time. The ship is sinking fast and everyone knows it. If you're not job hunting, you're one of the few who isn't.

Curious to know where folks have landed after being laid off and if anyone ran into trouble going to a new financial institution. Sometimes I feel like BNY being on my resume is more reputational harm than good

I left BNY and every day I'm thankful. What you all are going through to this day sounds awful. I hope you all find something better soon. You deserve it.

I know there’s a good bit of you on here that were let go in early December and were sent that BS separation letter to sign. My question is: if we agreed to sign it, that meant we stayed “employed” until March 31st and that would be our last day of... — read more
