Sometimes I really wonder why I need all this, why I don't accept any other offer just to get rid of so much stress. Our manager only knows how to set unrealistic goals and create stress. It's getting worse day by day. Is it even possible to... —  read more 

Was listening today to another story of him being vicious and underhanded (including toward his peers and boss). How is he still employed?

I am very disappointed and it seems the only solution is to leave NY Mellon. Does HR do anything for employees here?

We both have been considering quitting for months and looking at what's available, but he decided that he'd had enough and he just wanted out. The first offer he got, he accepted. Nearly a 20 percent cut in pay but he was willing to take it. I envy... —  read more 

Idg why the bank is not asking their employees for proof of a positive covid test. You’re giving two weeks pay without knowing if someone is blowing smoke. Makes no sense

It's on you to be prepared when that happens. Worrying about layoffs all the time makes no sense. If you prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario, you can forget about the threat of layoffs because you know you're going to be okay no matter what... —  read more

The well intended people who advise to "keep your head down" do not get it. This mentality is part of the over problem with the company. I have many relatively senior colleagues who have selfishly uttered similar sayings. These are 55+ year olds who... —  read more 

The shortage of employees in Ireland is devastating at the moment. Nothing is being done to resolve the issue. This leads us to think one of the offices could be closed in 2022. Dublin will always be protected so Cork v Wexford? The lack of... —  read more 

Actually, pay is low if you look at the amount of work that needs to be done and the stress that needs to be endured. Every colleague I talked to who's left here, has received a much higher pay in their new companies. I think BNYM will have to give... —  read more

Going back in Feb? Y or N

I just got hired at BNY the beginning of the year. I have a couple of friends who work there who are really unhappy, but I needed a job and took the first one that would hire me. I was worried when it took HR over 2 months to send me an official... —  read more 

BNYM IT professionals, based on what I've been reading on these boards, based on my experience at BNYM, what you truly need is to unionize IT. What do you have to lose?? Do yo enjoy working 70+ hours a week?? Do you enjoy the stress that is part... —  read more 

I have an upcoming interview in TSG - I see a bunch of negative stuff about that team here. Can anyone tell me if it’s a good place to work? Good leadership? Good technologists working there? Thanks in advance.

anyone else get a HR survey request for the unvax'd within the company?

What do you think is the reason? Is Bny having difficulties filling job reqs because they aren’t remote based?

If your team is understaffed due to people leaving and you have been left for more work, I suggest you ask for a raise or low key threat to leave. 20k bumps have been give to people for staying and still getting overtime…

From Bloomberg news today: Jamie Dimon issued a warning to the vaccine holdouts among JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s staff in New York. “To go to the office you have to be vaxxed and if you aren’t going to get vaxxed you won’t be able to work in that... —  read more

Fox Business news story. Citibank will terminate all non vaxed employees by January 14th

This is new to me. I have been working here for a long time and I have never been under so much pressure as now. Why so much micromanagement? Control and monitoring everything only reduces productivity. Or perhaps that's their goal? To have employees... —  read more 

So discriminating against unvaccinated employees isn’t included? Apparently the line that says ‘employment practices are based solely on the qualifications of each individual and appropriate job related standards’ doesn’t apply to the unvaxxed. Guess... —  read more 

Do I still get it? I had a full year service last year.

If you expect to see your skills and work ethics appreciated here, think again. BNY Mellon only rewards yes-men and yes-women who do nothing but are experts in brownnosing. If you have no issues with that, you'll do great here. But if you have... —  read more 

Crowley has lost his entire firm. So many resignations these past 6 months and even more coming as soon as bonuses hit. If he was a coach they would have cut him by game 2. The fact this has gotten as bad as it is is scary.

Anyone with any information regarding this years routine January layoffs please share as soon as possible.

This company is out to grind us up but it also expects - or better yet, demands - our unwavering loyalty. All that while laying us off constantly and treating those who are being let go like dirt. So why in the world should I or anybody else stay... —  read more 

Since we all have been working from home for months and the company isn’t flexible with remotely working from a foreign country, I was wondering if any of you pushed their luck and moved abroad without letting anyone know.
