I guess the layoff front is quiet. Makes this ‘layoff’ site seem useless except for all the whining🚜

I am the best actor in town. I can work from home.

It is interesting to see how things are being sugar coated. The investors are careful where they want to invest their money, while at BNY everything's great. The quarterly earnings and how prosperous the Employees are. King Robin is in charge and no... — read more 

See the article in The Times (UK) today about return to office 3 days and corrective action. I can't see the full article as behind a paywall if anyone can share please let me know.

This seems to be recent discussions in the office after returning to the office 3days.

What is up with the hideous orange and yellow theme? Those are not our company colors. Is another merger or acquisition in the works?

I loved my job even though I didn't have a particularly good work-life balance before. Lately though my balance has been increasingly getting worse and I've finally decided to leave. Expectations from employees are becoming too unrealistic.

Our dept doesn’t have enough seats now so they’re asking for volunteers to have their desk be a Hotelling desk, otherwise everybody’s will become Hotelling seats. Haha brilliant! Not enough seats. This company is run by id--ts — read more

These are never ending now and multiples a day back to back so you can’t get anything done. And what’s with 5 different teams setting up meetings asking same questions so all you do is repeat same nonsense over and over for no reason

The employee praise emails flowed like honey during COVID. Many people paid for upgraded internet service, spent personal money on office supplies, worked long hours, and generally stepped up to help their employer. Every single employee could have... — read more

This week we were instructed how to rate the company on the Peakon surveys That pretty much eliminates any honest feedback

The first is sacred to companies like BNYM. The second two are still told they are to sit in the back of the bus -- despite what the brochures say.

BNY Mellon is no exception in this regard, because in most of the places where I have worked so far, pretenders are more appreciated than those who really do all the work. However, there will soon be many more pretenders here than those who put in... — read more

So tech teams will no longer have the privilege of 10 days only in office per quarter. Archaic applications faltering every day will have even less technology oversight. Brilliant ideas coming from the top!!!

It's just all very toxic. I'll be interviewing at another company next week. They can find another architect. This one's seen enough.

another GS boss pulled into BNY. will these people coming in actually help the bank in making the brand more prestigious and bring in better talent or are these folks the misfits of GS?

There are a lot of good threads that get polluted by the same low-IQ posters that ramble on about the same thing. But here's what you need to know: It is clear the current CEO is trying to drive attrition. That is why quality of life (benefits... — read more 

I don't think it's too important to them anymore because they're too preoccupied with their bonuses and don't have much time to spend thinking about the future of this place.

BNYM is like life in a sleepy Midwestern town -- the shady streets, the weekly lodge meetings, golf on Sunday morning, followed by a fried chicken dinner and an afternoon nap. And they wonder why they can't attract young talent. 😂😂😂

Love the threatening tone of the latest communication. If you don't come in 3 days a week, you will be subject to corrective action. This guy has Scharf all over his mug.

I was really disappointed when I became aware of how little BNY Mellon now cares about the quality of its employees. I do not believe that they are not aware that some decisions alienate the best of the remaining employees. On the other hand, I... — read more
