Has to be just before Christmas to ruin your holiday or right after New Years Day to start your year of on the worse foot possible. That's what happens when your senior executives have no class!
Typically it’s been in early December before the bonus and 401k match. If you make it past The holiday week then it’ll be probably sometime in first quarter. They seem to have some cuts every quarter.
January? Probably.
By then, the woodchipper should be sharpened and a fresh batch of organizational trees marked for cutting. Until then, expect the usual stream of empathy posts, leadership wisdom, and transformation‑journey nuggets while the next "realignment" is quietly organized.
At BNY, holiday fluff and inspirational posts are often the smoke. The woodchipper is usually the fire that starts next.
They just did a bunch In October and it seems they are notifying in masses every two months. Im aware of a mass list for jan/feb time frame . Nothing yet between now and then
