You know, when you find another job outside but you tell your manager and they can offer more money for you to stay? Is that still a thing here?

Instead of laying off good, hardworking people, why doesn't BNY Mellon finally start getting rid of managers whose lousy work is rewarded with huge salaries? How many excellent employees, whose talent and knowledge this place desperately needs... —  read more

Can someone please confirm that it is still two weeks for every year an employee has worked here? Or is there now a cutoff date? I was trying to find the thread that discussed this but was unable to locate it. I am getting worried and just want... —  read more 

Am I the only one who's tired of wearing too many hats but only getting paid for one? I'm not married, so I have no issues with working 50 or 60-hour weeks. I'm more than happy to work on weekends as well - but as long as you pay me properly!... —  read more 

Of course, there are good managers who do their job well, but the problem is that there are too many who are completely useless. Does BNY Mellon need this many managers? I think that they are not needed, but perhaps someone thinks differently? On... —  read more 

Hmmm, the math checks out...

So now that there is pizza is starbucks free replaced?

Some companies are starting to increase employees salaries to soften the blow of Biden's inflation hike. Will BNY follow suit?

What happens if someone refuses to return to the office? Anyone had this situation?

Interestingly, some who first resented having to work from home, now resent having to work in the office. How is it that before the pandemic no one objected to doing their work in the office and now suddenly many are objecting to it?

I've been actively looking for a new job but I'm worried that any serious offer might end up in them contacting my manager for references and then I'm screwed. He's the main reason why I'm leaving. He's been making my life a living he-l since I... —  read more

The new interns have a starting salary of 150K. They have no experience and no proven work record but given this high salary. Which id--t on the 15th floor at 240G signed off on this? These salaries will throw off the budgets of many LOBs, probably... —  read more 

2x a month vs 2-3x a week for everyone else…?

What is this group??? I came across some old pay bands where some of the directors are making anywhere from 500k up to 7 figures. How does one get into this group??? What do they do? Is this sales?? Are they hiring in Pittsburgh?

Why should my life focus on getting a you a third yacht?

Maybe it's expensive, difficult and risky, but I personally think it's necessary... Isn't it high time for BNY Mellon to invest a bit more into our technology?
