When will it be our turn?
Manager gave me 3 person workload, I can't handle it on regularly basis; he is going to write me up for a performance warning.
Did anybody experience that? I am not going to sign the written warning. Whatever consequence happens, I don't care anymore.

Bad managers tarnish reputation
I thought moving to BNY Mellon would be a great career progress for me. I forgot that a very bad manager, who continuously frustrates the whole team, can spoil an entire organization. Why does BNY Mellon allow such managers to tarnish its reputation? — read more
I don't get it
Someone told me that a person replacing a colleague who left is paid more than he was. It is hard to believe this, given that this person with vast knowledge and experience left because of inadequate compensation. In addition, his replacement has... — read more

Any significant re-orgs planned with the CEO transition getting closer? TSG could certainly use a firesale!
Tired of meaningless meetings
Biggest effectiveness busters at work - unnecessary meetings. So why the need for so many unnecessary meetings, after which I am often left wondering what their purpose was? It totally drains my energy. Nowhere, in any of my previous jobs, have I... — read more

Will BNYM follow JPM on abortion care?
wonder if BNY will ramp up employee healthcare to include payment of travel to a state where abortion is legal. JPM seems to be ahead of the game on this issue to no surprise.
Underpaid in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh staff, especially in Ops, are pretty underpaid. I left a team where most Ops staff were making about $40 to 50K, many with 10+ yrs tenure, without any added incentive and overtime was admonished. Any staff promotions were pretty bad... — read more
Look at view counts, in 10,000s of thousands
No other bank has this high of a view count (most have views that go into high 100s and mayby 1000s) BNYM has programmed bots to scan each post for any updates and they roll up reports for management. As these bots visit each post several times a... — read more
Peakon surveys
“ we heard you”. Yes. Workplace Wednesdays where we can collaborate in person- that’s what the problem is. Money we’ll spent on the surveys.
Stop complicating everything!
I hope most of you do not have a manager who is ready willing and able to complicate tasks that should be very simple! Why do they do that? What's the point? - I guess he just likes to make our job harder. For a while, I hoped that would change... — read more

Will the current Market Rout at Wall Street result in banks laying off more staff?
Recently Glassdoor has few posts saying BNY is the one of the best company to work
Is this BNY HR's effort to save the sinking ship?
Pershing is still dumpster fire
Pershing is still an awful place to work, and our new org structure is not working and seems more like someone’s pet project than actually improvement for clients. I see good people leaving the company, people with years of tenure, then others are... — read more

Booster
Supposedly you have to be up-to-date with your shots to be able to come into the office. If you didn’t get your booster six months after your first to you will be denied access to the building supposedly. Has anybody experienced this? Anybody past... — read more
Work from Anywhere Policy.
That's a great move. Let's hope that will become the norm in the near future.
Phishing Test - Extra Day Off
So what id--t thought up this one? Nope, you're not getting an extra day off for your hard work. It is just a test to see how stupid you are. So did you click on it before your manager did the usual walk around telling you not to, which of... — read more
Biggest increase for a new job
I could've gotten 10% pay increase at another organization but in the end I refused that offer because I wasn't satisfied with other things. My colleague accepted an offer with a similar pay increase. However, here I see people writing about getting... — read more
Did they try to keep anyone?
I still haven’t heard that BNY Mellon tried to keep anyone and offer them better terms after giving notice. It happened to me at the last organization I worked for when I wanted to leave, but here it seems to me that there are no such cases... — read more
Sinking ship, sinking stock
We this this place is a sinking ship. Stock price headed down to 40. Gone nowhere in over 20 years. This place is like the Edsel, Flobie, Betamax, and Enron.
The truth
So with all of the paranoia and false reports of evil Todd’s layoffs we are down only 3,090 from our high of 54,000, or 6% over the last 4 years. And this includes job security over the pandemic. We should all be feeling very good about our job... — read more
Will Robin force us to a 3-day work week when he takes over?
Many firms on the street are planning a 3-day work week right after Labor Day. Will Robin lead or follow?
Frequently changing deadlines and priorities
BNY Mellon has always been a busy place and employees have always been expected to respond to all changes quickly and gracefully. However, haven't changes in deadlines and priorities become more frequent now than ever before? That is my personal... — read more
How many people left from the beginning of the year?
There was always talk about attrition and in most cases the numbers that employees speculated about were overblown in my opinion, but now I think it’s different. Lately not a day goes by that I don’t hear about somebody I know leaving the company... — read more
Moving up at BNYM
I agree with someone who wrote that there are many of us who have been here for a long time without moving up in the organization. I am one of them and the reason is not that I am not trying to move up, but despite all my efforts so far I haven't... — read more
Peakon surveys
Are Peakon surveys really anonymous, I've heard they might not be?
Ministry of lay-off truth
Apparently the layoff ministry of censorship doesn’t think unsafe subway commutes in NYC is relevant to BNYM forcing in office ‘collaboration’ as they took down that thread. Goodbye Zuckerberg
Doing more with less is a tall order bordering on impossible
Management still believes that it is possible to finish all the work with as few people as possible. There is almost no prioritization, because everything is always somehow urgent. Will management realize that doing more with less is impossible... — read more
Job level L Principal Pittsburgh PA
Would anyone be able to provide current salary range for an L in Pittsburgh? Specifically looking for the starting point. Thanks.
I keep hearing about attrition but I don't see it
Do you personally know anybody who has left in the last year? Why did they leave and where did they go?
Project Catalyst - what has it done so far?
2022 started off as a year to start trying to be more efficient, but it seems these days, there’s more forms to fill out, more approvals to get, more people to vet things. More rubber stamps. Is anyone experiencing something similar?
I started to hate my job here
One who is not overly ambitious to advance in his career, one who will tolerate doing a double workload for almost the same pay, or one who will be indifferent to a toxic atmosphere... he/ she can be quite comfortable here. For everyone else... — read more
Feeling nervous due to recession
Some of my colleagues think there will be no cuts, and some are convinced there will be. What do you think? Hypothetically, would a recession lead to big layoffs at BNY Mellon?
This will be my last year at BNY Mellon
I've been hoping to see things improve for three years and I'm finally done. The job market is still good and I plan to make full use of it. If you want to leave but are holding on for severance, I'd advise against it. Your chances of being affected... — read more
