I find it fascinating that managers expect me to care beyond a paycheck. How can they expect that considering how treated we are? What motivates us to go beyond our job description? It is increasingly clear to me that mgmt is... — read more

Has anyone else had a problem with MYBenefitWallet not sending them a debit card or taking for ever to process an online transaction to pay medical bills? BNY Mellon only the best for its employees...ugh!

I have only two options, which is to take real action and go somewhere else or to continue venting while I try go guess what BNY Mellon will take away from us next time. What do you think, will they continue to cut our benefits? Now I have no... — read more

For some reason, there are people who have decided to remain loyal to this place. Isn't it actually surprising how many are still here out of loyalty even though it is not rewarded through some special work opportunities? Maybe it used to be... — read more 

It seems that our business model is failing again. I remember when we were told when rates rise, we will be golden. Not really seeing that. I also remember when J. Carter Bacot did not want to invest outside of the US. Now we are heavily... — read more 

Layoffs used to happen after Thanksgiving. Does anybody know what’s happening this year?

Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential Bank of New York Mellon layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

No communications experience, running communications and marketing. Guess which side is floundering? Many communications people have left. All the re-staffing happens on the marketing side. She's a nightmare!

Some claim that working here is much more stressful than working at some of our competitors. Does the majority here think so? I would perhaps only partially agree because I had an even more stressful job before I came here.

Please provide your suggestions. They will be considered.

Not being selected for a layoff should not be considered a reward. Change my mind.

That is very surprising, considering that most people with such skills can find a much higher paying job. The stress and pressure certainly cannot be greater than here. I doubt that is possible. Of course BNY Mellon will not change anything as long... — read more
