Slow death by restructuring
The so-called ongoing “restructuring” is just a fancy way to cut headcount. There’s no real plan or vision behind it. Teams get shredded, some just quietly disappear, while others are left to scramble with impossible workloads. Efficiency? Morale?... — read more

I have been in BNY for over 10 years. I started as E (entry level) and climb the ladder until now. I am a G (senior position) and it seems that BNY implemented a rule for internals to only get 10% of increase if they get a higher position. Every... — read more
What are your options if you have been put on a PIP plan
Hi, I was put on a PIP plan and there is a confusion regarding 30 days. Does the 30 day start after I was given the review and what happens after the 30 days they decide that I am no longer needed. Do they give severance for 30 days or no severance... — read more
Distrust of Leadership
The consistent activity and update-seeking on this board is testament to the failed leadership communication and toxic culture they have created. When the traditional corporate communication channels fail, sites like this erupt in popularity. Tell... — read more
BNY’s strategy is simple
Cut costs, create a toxic environment to force people out, and offshore jobs until nothing’s left. If you’re still here, it's time to start looking. They don't want you working here. You're too expensive. Sad but true.

Ah, the glee at the prospect of replacing us all with machines
Leadership really does dislike people.
Does anybody still dare to disagree with anything in meetings anymore?
Lately, every single one I’ve been in feels like a performance, just people nodding along, even when what’s being said makes absolutely no sense. It’s not technically my job to speak up, but I’ve been so tempted a few times just out of sheer... — read more

The idea of AI employees is pure fantasy
More flights of fancy. More dreams of things never to be. More wastes of money and time. More lies. As long ad there is global custody, treasury, foreign income, FX and foreign deposits, BNY will never self automate or be a robotic style firm. Put it... — read more
