For all of you who were recently laid off, it is in your best interest to speak with a lawyer before signing your separation agreement.

Let's give location, grade, base, and bonus % of base. I'll start. NYC, grade J, $150k, $50k bonus. Flat vs last, no base increase

Anyone got their number yet?

It is so sad to work in a system which doesn't appreciate hard working people, and leaves us with no satisfaction from professional achievements. I feel that the only agency I am left with is to quit. Otherwise, I feel reduced to office supplies... — read more 

Nobody is forcing you to stay at BNYM. Some of you are acting like you're being held hostage here.

I think it would be an interesting activity if BNYM did some sort of an undercover boss type of thing in the organization. Maybe not the CEO, but someone underneath to report back some findings to change things. Also be sure to assign them to teams... — read more 

What HR sessions are you guys referring to? I haven’t sent any. I need to understand the sub pay. For instance if it’s 2000 in biweekly, do bnym pay for all 2000 and then I can apply for UE?

Is it the case that Dublin still on generous redundancy yet Cork only on the statutory amount only?

Funny how they preach that Hamilton is the founder. Hamilton founded BNY. Mellon founded Mellon. Neither exists anymore. Such falsities. Maybe more should start to preach that and really twist their pa-ties.

Plenty of big banks laying folks off. Think BNY does it quarterly so they can stay out of the news like the others don’t?

Any comments about the bank's earnings?

Unless you’ve gone through this process recently or are going through it now, I think those of us who have been affected would appreciate if you’d keep your obnoxious comments to yourself. Many of us have had a long tenure with BNYM, many of us were... — read more 

I know the duration, but regarding the actual amount - how much is it, is there a calculation? Is there a difference if you collect unemployment or not? Thanks

End of the discussion

I was terminated and waiting for the documents. What I’m reading here is confusing. Bnym will provide the severance package which I would need to sign. Then I would get the severance pay or is it sub pay? Because it’s two different things. Severance... — read more 

I do Uber in my free time until I get another job. Does this stop my SUB pay? If I don't report this to TMS, will they know? So many things are going on in my head, and I'm not sure where to start or End. Also, if I do Uber, they will know it later... — read more 

I was laid off on the 8th and this was my first job. My manager told me it would be 8 weeks of pay after, but I am unsure if this is something have to file for with unemployment or is it automatically given after agreeing to the separation?

Do we need to prove that we’re looking for a job for either the BNYM package or unemployment?

To all of you hit by the recent layoffs, you’re one of many over the past 10+ years to feel this way. You will survive. You might just find it better on the other side. BNY hasn’t changed at all. They have been doing this for a long time. You... — read more 

I just love being called “high performing yet human culture”, and being listed last in the 3 attributes. Pretty much tells me how employees are not valued, just another thing to this corporation, an expense, not assets. Largest class of early in... — read more 

We still have a handful of people in our area that badge and leave or leave at 9am- 10am. I thought they were tracking IP’s or is it just to target individuals? Our manager hasn’t said a word so was just curious if it’s even happening. — read more 

No wonder Gru is laying off people all over the place. He continues to bleed the life out of Securities Services. How is he getting away with this? Whose photos does he have in a locked drawer? Look at the 4Q results - they speak for... — read more

Is it one lump sum or bi weekly until it ends or we find another job

Has anyone that’s gone through the separation process with BNYMellon found any value in using the outplacement services that’s provided as an optional benefit?

Can bnym retract the severance package if I was to ask for more

I heard 12 weeks min for level J and K. What about level L and M? Does it increase by level?

Are we receiving the match end of January?

I hate this period of protracted layoffs. Nobody is telling us when it is going to end, so we have days of stress and uncertainty. You are doing your best to do your work/tasks, but it may be pointless. Halfway through you may be let go. There is... — read more 

If layoffs are keeping the stock price at a high, it’s really pathetic. Business wise there hasn’t been much and hence employees were chopped off, conveniently. If anyone is interested at all, link to results call... — read more

I got laid off on January 8. But my separation date will start on January 22 and last for 12 weeks. I just worked seven months with BNY. Because of my position, I got 12 weeks of SUB pay. My question is, Will I get my 401k match? My year-end... — read more

It feels like older employees have once again been affected more than other age groups. I'm talking about people over fifty. Has anybody else noticed this or is this just specific to my group?

Do they inform employees of both next week? Anyone find out early? Raises effective March 1? Do they retropay for first 2 months?

But it's not fair for anyone; so maybe that makes it fair. I was laid off in this round. It's a humbling experience. We can't control the things that people do to us, but we don't have to let those things diminish us. I've made a decision to walk in... — read more 

Can you ask for more? And ask for the bonus
