I have been employed here for 17 years.. I can say without hesitation that this is the worst I have ever seen it. Senior management could care less that departments are drowning with work, due to layoffs and not replacing staff. It’s just a matter... — read more 

What's the situation with layoffs? Will there be a continuation today or have they notified everybody who is affected yesterday? There's so little info on these cuts and no official word that i have to ask here. I really wish there was more... — read more 

How many more knowledgeable people are they going to keep getting rid of? Oriskany is losing people today . Anyone else ? All while they say they sent too much to india. 70% of work was shipped when they cannot have more than 50% there and have to... — read more 

Who wants work for BNY ? Me, me me; if they have capacity to pay 250k a year or else don’t even try me. Remember you laid me off!

What do you think? I'm guessing earnings will be around $1 but after another few hundred million write-off for re-orgs and legal fees we'll miss estimates and the stock will drop 5% for a few months like it always does.

My team was so understaffed and I thought that there was no more room for layoffs after they laid off some of the best people I have ever worked with. And then I relaxed instead of looking for a new job because I thought the likelihood of me getting... — read more 

Lately I'm seeing more and more of my colleagues losing their jobs. I talked to a few of them and they all told me that there were absolutely no signs that they would be laid off soon, for example empty table syndrome, subtle changes in superior's... — read more 

It's been months and I still haven't found a replacement job. I'm at an age where I'm still too young to retire but at the same time nobody will give me a chance to start over (and realistically, I don't even know if I could.) All my plans for the... — read more 

I DO make more mistakes now than I used to, which are due to the fact that the requirements for doing my job have increased: a) in complexity, and b) in sheer volume due to loss of staff members in my group that were not replaced. Let me also state... — read more 

Does anyone know of the next round of layoffs started today? There are rumors that this is the week

Employees at BNY Mellon don’t work to live, they live to work. They don’t know how to separate personal life from professional life, it’s all one in the same. That’s why they act the way they do. Working for BNY Mellon IS their life, because... — read more 

No sarcasm, please. I am curious as to what is to be expected for those of you that have been laid off. What was the procedure? What did you sign? What did you not sign? What do you suggest signing and what do you suggest not signing? What does the... — read more 

There's no point in wondering if there'll be layoffs in April, May, June or next year. The answer is always going to be yes. What you could be asking is where and how many if somebody in the know is willing to share but just askings if there'll be... — read more 

How long until we hear word about how important it is for us to return to the office in person? Google made an announcement today and the WSJ has a feature article on the same topic. (I know this is not related to layoffs)

If it’s true then only certain business units will be affected. From what I heard, finance upper management told their remaining staffs after the January separations that they were safe for the rest of the year. Now I wonder if they were lying to... — read more 

Update: I learned that the gift card I received is added to my total pay. The issue I found is that the added value to the total pay I received for this time period is much, much greater then the actual gift card.

I’ve never made more mistakes than I have lately. Fortunately, they are small errors that I notice immediately and that can quickly be corrected, but all the same, it never happened that much before. Decline in motivation, stress, work overload... — read more

Is there any truth to layoffs in April. I heard they were coming. It's crazy, I don't know any team that can spare a single person.

Lots of communications emphasizing the digitization efforts, but have they accomplished anything tangible?

A lot of people are complaining about the increase in workload since last year and I believe them. Admittedly, that's not my case but I don’t know how they could give me more work when I’ve already been working so hard for a few years now that I... — read more 

I was laid off but have recently started a new job and I am trying to rollover 401k from BNY into my new employers 401k. The website provided by BNY NEVER seems to work and I cannot logon to access old 401k. Has anyone else had this problem?

My opinion is that the goal of surveys is certainly not to help them diagnose problems that need to be worked on in order to improve culture. In fact, I don’t even know if it’s in their interest to improve it nor if it's even possible to improve it... — read more

People need to see the writing on the wall. BNYM was a great employer a long time ago but now it has turned into one of the worst. It's no longer a matter of if you'll be laid of but when. Don't let something so obvious surprise you. After all... — read more 

I see that in the proxy statement Todd received a 56% raise in 2020 - salary went from $800k in 2019 to $1,250,00 in 2020. If that's not a slap in the face to all the employees who received nothing or a mere 1% merit, I don't know what is. So glad... — read more

My manager is an expert on gaslighting. She's a horrendous person, like most managers in Treasury Services, whose only talent is to rely upon one person on their team to handle complex projects while allowing her pals to slack. Rant over.

BNY is a dumpster fire. Our CEO has been sacked twice (fired then rehired then fired again). Companies merged under the guise of “synergies” but just layoffs. Shelf life of BK CEOs is 3 years, I’ve had 6 so far. If you can’t increase revenue you cut... — read more
