Why was there no state tax taken out of my SUB pay? Anyone know?

In two sentences or less, a highlight of your day. Tell us how you REALLY feel! Example: I have a greater appreciation for a person that was just laid off, because I spent a few hours starting to learn theit job.

Someone else suggested this in another post. I just did so. It's also anonymous.

How long after sending back the paper work does the SUB start? Thanks

Or are these layoffs specifically to get rid of people with higher pay? When I say newer, I mean newer - less than six months with the bank. I'm asking because a lot of threads talk about people over 50 being targeted, being laid off, and very few... — read more 

There's no rhyme or reason to it. A (very good) manager at my location had stripped her office of personal effects and was hoping to get a package. She had been taken off a major project a few months ago, and she thought for sure that was the last... — read more 

I was let go and I am wandering if I am going to be able to get an electronic W2 form from BNYM now that I do not have user name and password access any more. Anyone knows?

Layoffs just started. They will continue to happen until the stock rises due to layoffs. Then he jumps with his golden parachute. This is pretty much it. So my advice is to get your resume in order and start sending it out. Job security is not... — read more 

If I get a new job but continue to keep my sub pay there is nothing that says there is a penalty for doing so. Only that I "may" be required to pay it back. So if I just save it and toss it into a MMKT account and they come after it, fine. If they... — read more 

Is there any logic that could be applied to the method in which they are performing the layoffs? Any way to tell which offices are up next, or are in more danger of being hit by cuts that others? From the layoffs that happened so far I couldn’t make... — read more 

I was a long term well-paid employee. Up until last year, my reviews were always excellent. Then to my shock, I was rated BE mid-year. Often times I observed coworkers literally doing nothing at their desks, sleeping, and gossiping openly over the... — read more 

Just my observation and it may not be true, but as far as I can tell any wave of layoffs hits the Pittsburgh office the hardest, that is, if we compare the layoff-number of employees ratio. Seriously, why are they doing this? If they want to close... — read more 

Lookout for the day after the Holiday. More layoffs on the horizon. If you haven’t figured it out yet, they can/will happen anytime. They spread them out to not draw too much attention. There is no “safe” period. My advice is stop checking this site... — read more 

It’s Never Been Easier to Be a C.E.O., and the Pay Keeps Rising. https://nyti.ms/2HSfaDy Easiest gig for Charlie. Over and under: less than a year left for big payday.

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.

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

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.
