Has anyone received the Mid-year performance review mandate yet? I haven’t seen any emails about it. Is it too early?

After spending all night reading all the comments and complaints, he decided to accept another offer that was a little bit longer commute but no day-to-day drama with constant rumors of layoffs. He thanked me and said he would have been miserable had... read more

I'm curious as to how long in advance layoff numbers are approved and finalized before the employee is notified? I read on here that January layoffs were done in October. Thank you and good luck to all.

Look at this scripted speech this joke of a Company continues to dish out every time they ruin good people's lives when they cowardly lay them off. Shameful. “We continue to optimize our global business structure to increase efficiency, enable faster... read more

This is just a question that comes out of my own conclusions and not any reliable info or anything. With all the layoffs I’m sure some locations have been cut to that degree that there is no pong of keeping such a small headcount in a certain... read more

I was laid off in my 50’s and was successful finding another job. I used the outsourcing service which was excellent because my resume was in 1980’s style. I also was not giving myself credit for everything I know. So take as much resume advice as... read more

Seriously does anyone work at BNY anymore? Is the building going to be turned into a hotel? Myself and all the people I was friends with got waxed in January. It's almost funny. I feel like the homeless people are going to be taking over for refuge... read more

If you are over fifty, why even bother and try to do a decent job? It's not as if it'll matter in the end - nobody is looking at our performance when deciding who'll be laid off, just our age and pay. Our fate is already decided, it's just a matter... read more

Bnym GRS Tacoma had layoffs like everyone else here. Only 100 left. Rumors are most work is being shifted to Pune, Poland and Pittsburgh. Rumor is office is closing within next couple years.

I had just turned 60 when I was let go in January. I find the actions of BNYM completely reprehensible since Im not eligible to collect social security for another 2 years. It is well-known that no one wants to hire people in their 50s and 60s... read more

Who, and how, did you ask? How long did it take? Did you get a fair package? Are you satisfied with the result?

When I was let go from BNY I had a part time job. They told me that I could keep my second job and still collect sub pay. Was any one else told that? And what will happen if I go full time at that job? Will they cut my sub pay off? Anyone in the same... read more

Well? I'm waiting for your answer.

And I’m not talking about today's layoffs, I'm speaking in general. If the true purpose of the cuts were to restructure the company and make it better, shouldn't some other changes be taking place as well, other than people getting cut on a daily... read more

somebody said layoffs have started but nobody else is mentioning anything. what's going on?

That way if you cannot return to your desk, you will have the important stuff that you need to get home. Good luck!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but things happen first thing here when it comes to layoffs. Which means if we haven't heard anything by now, we're good for the day. I refuse to stress any more than I have to. I'll leave it for some other day when we... read more

Remember when that was a thing at BNYM? Good times...
