Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

• Useless peakon surveys
• In office tracking updates 1 a week - why not every day?
• not one new country on the WFA since implemented
• no ability to plan your life, where to live, when to take vacation as you are at the mercy of RV’s axe at any time.
• bring back direct managers ability to decide if in office is necessary like before the pandemic
• update on location strategy - working in a non growth center su-ks and makes quiet quitting a very tempting for most people.
• no management at local offices- c suite communication is useless and out of touch

No incentive to go for a higher grade level job with more responsibility as you wont get the salary increase until many months later and its not retroactive.

401k match a year later...

The EC and senior leadership are morally and ethically bankrupt and their continued behavior has ruined a once proud BNY culture. The issues and concerns raised on this forum are well documented for at least the last two years and yet the same corporate theater plays out as a complete sham. Everyone sees it, calls it out, and yet leadership continues undeterred. #Sickening

@jm i’m aware and that’s a whole other issue in my opinion.

Been gone a few years but always hated how we were told to act as owners but then constantly had our schedules interrupted with "management" demanding something ASAP. Couldn't question the cost or anything and couldn't adjust our previous commitments that we made.

@jc the CEO is a foreigner

A CEO who puts foreigners first

The "free coffee" comes at a very steep price

Realizing I am wasting time out of my life here

Coworkers who gossip

Simply put, overworkedand underpaid.

Because I’m wasting both my time and money commuting to the office four times a week, with petrol prices constantly rising

During and after work

everybody i respect has either been fired or quit. true story.

@b7 sound advice!! Standing ovation!

@ad

Cool that you got out, and with the added delight of just 2 days' notice?...Chef's kiss!

If something similar should happen in the future though, consider putting together a training module w/ docs for people to refer to, so you only have to explain it to them once, then whenever they bug you later to go into details or explain it again, simply refer them to the module. Do it in writing in an email, "All of the info. is [there], but feel free to follow-up with [their department head] if you need further clarification." I would even go so far as to cc their dept. head when replying to their need for hand-holding, too. Make it clear to the dept. heads that this is their responsibility to handle, not yours.

That way, you have definitive proof (written correspondence) that you:

1) were proactive to create a solution (training module), shared it with everyone (Sharepoint link and email where you let the team/s know where to find it, along with a calendar invite for a meeting where you initially informed them of what changes are necessary, and how to access the info. independently)

2) Trained them sufficiently, but established reasonable parameters, where they wouldn't encroach too much on your time if needing further assistance

3) Provided them with who to contact (their dept. head) if they required more granular specification and/or information

Don't let other people overload, intimidate, or guilt trip you into su-king your time out from under you, or doing their jobs for them.

It doesn't matter if someone is above, below, or on your same level in terms of corporate hierarchy...people need to learn to respect others' time and bandwidth. If others don't respect yours, it's because you're allowing them to run roughshod all over you. Don't tolerate it. Don't just sit there and take it. Be polite and professional about it, but basically tell them to FO!

For me (when I quit), it was two things:

First, when some KYC regulations went into effect that changed the number of documents that were now required to approve accounts, I had to deal with explaining to account reps what these docs were and why we now needed them. It should have been the responsibility of their dept. heads to make them aware of these changes, not me. My workload doubled because 90% of the time people were clueless of these new requirements.

Secondly, it increased my workload to twice as much because I spent so much time explaining the new requirements to people who should have been briefed already about these.

But yet, when salary increases were given, did I get a commensurate increase in pay since my workload had almost doubled? He-l no--same old one.something percent.

F 'em. After almost three years of this BS I quit with 2 days notice.

Surely it can't be the coffee. I was assured by the board that free coffee was all you plebs needed.
