Honestly, other than layoffs, has there been any actual attempt to change the way things are done to improve our bottom line? I don't think so. I think management hates change and wants to preserve status quo for as long as they can through layoffs... — read more 

Anyone had their appraisal? What is the % for BE vs. Other ratings?

How come I am still not getting one for my manager? In prior years it happened in May.

Did anyone actually get excited about the fake email that promised old computers would be replaced by clicking on the link to test your system?

They proceed with blessed indifference to how their monstrous, solipsistic behavior affects the lives of employees. How many heart attacks, stokes and serious mental health crisis’ have they caused? But reality doesn’t matter. What matters is the... — read more 

after having been rated BE and laid off? My ex-team is so short handed now, apparently they’re looking to hire a new person. I’m trying to learn if there’s anyone out there who was given back their old job.

I am a manager. I am routinely forced to rate people as BE. I am routinely forced to change my comments to be more negative. It’s not a good company to work for. Thank you for saying this. At least it's good to have a confirmation that no matter how... — read more

Anyone hear chatter about certain lines of business under scope for acquisition? They want out of Europe??

My direct manager asks me to do reasonable things that are in conflict with the things their manager, HR and training seem to expect. Sometimes, they all seem to be in conflict with each other. Since (in my case) these are all good people (as far as... — read more

Talks of selling off some business lines true? Serious pressure on share price. Leaders not equipped in any shape or manner to turn it around?

What is the status of Brooklyn office ? I saw they are closing health Center in coming weeks. More layoffs before they move staff to Manhattan?

This weeks propaganda centers around the banks 235th anniversary and trying to link this dump to the founder, Hamilton. Even more ridiculous are the lemming commenters stating how proud they are and "the bank must be doing something right to be... — read more 

How many of you still have any faith left in our leadership? Anybody? I think a three-year old could run this bank better than what we have now. Relying on layoffs above everything else to improve the bottom line has never worked long term for... — read more 

Charlie has been brought in to drive results upwards. He has done the opposite....share price on the floor. He will be gone by the end of the year I think.

Ugh. Going to be a LONG summer.

We are all trying to leave this company! Managers care only about their checks!

Why are we bringing on these failures? is no one checking references anymore. Those “experts” sank the ship over there. Now their going to sink us.

Haven’t seen any comments about any further layoffs this week. Any updates? Please share. This is a question that @ZdoCNqp-6rxj originally asked on another thread, but I would like to get some updates on this, if there are any, of course
