I strongly suggest everyone should read the current partnership agreement. You might find it does not really say what we’ve been told it says.

Long standing BNY employee here with unvested RSUs maturing over 4 years running into $200K.

Now concerned that my time is up. Is there any truth to the rumor that they are canceling RSUs if you are fired?

I thought things would change with new ownership. I was wrong.

I think there was a previous post but where are our EC and SLT? We have a couple of weeks to year end but no rallying cry, even though it will not halt the demise. No interest in any big deals. No interest in any small deals. No interest in any client interaction to help close deals. No idea about what is going on. Our CEO, Chief Revenue Officer, Chief Marketing Officer and our Head of Sales strategy are AWOL and too busy creating slides that say nothing and continue the BS. Our COO is too busy making up numbers. Maybe everyone should simply stop for the year as well?

Title. Drop deets if you have any.

Found a management person was having an affair. I never said a word till now. But did my accidental discovery cause my layoff?

How is everyone holding up after being deceived and cheated out of their rightful pensions?

I firmly believe that the elite members of the Mars family will eventually get what they truly deserve in life and beyond.

After months of secrecy, the first thing we can expect from Ram is transparency. HA HA. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me!

We received 9 inches of snow yesterday and the streets and walkways are full of ice.

There will be many falls, injuries, and lawsuits as a result.

A responsible and reasonable corporation would have advised their employees to stay safe and work from home.

At least I punched the clock!

I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I think it's clear we're entering a period where layoffs are used to fix leadership insufficiencies. I guarantee you these will become a regular occurrence from now on. I truly hope I'm wrong, but my old company had a similar situation, and within six months from the first layoff I was out of a job as well.

Hal2000 was conflicted in his assignments. I can't wait to see what happens when our AI models get surreptitious assignments with override codes like Hal2000 did. Yes, its coming!
"I'm sorry Bob, I just can't activate your account right now. You have been deemed a risk....please step aside and wait for the authorities....."
Yeah and there is no coming back from that scenario. Nope. None.

Now that the week is over, I'm just trying to figure out how long exactly it took to wrap things up. Just to be better prepared for the future.

They've asked me to fully train a new person on my team. I can't help but feel like this is a bad sign for my own job here. I'm showing him the essentials, but I'm definitely keeping some key details to myself. It's a strange and uncomfortable position to be put in.

I've been here for years, and the last couple have been rough. I've had three different managers in a short time, and each one seems less prepared than the last. It really makes me question how they're choosing people for these positions now. The whole process seems very much broken.

If people are worried about more layoffs so close to Christmas, you know something is seriously wrong with BofA.

I haven't been here long, but the company's public image seems to have taken a real hit lately. I'm starting to worry that having this on my resume might not be helping my applications. Maybe it's just my nerves, but the thought's definitely crossed my mind more than once.

A coworker who got laid off is one of the best people we had. He always got perfect reviews and everyone respected him. If they can just let someone like that go, then it's clear that none of our jobs are secure. That reality is hard to ignore.

With jobs moving to Mexico and India at lightning speed, I'm sure companies like PepsiCo have a solid plan to ensure US consumers can still afford their products. I mean, who needs a thriving middle class, right? Guess we'll just have to rely on robots and AI to buy all the stuff. Every year there is more hiring and pushing of jobs to Hydarabad. I heard from a colleague that in the S&T townhall, the VP Strat was gloating on how finance function moved all roles to Hydarabad (tongue in cheek laying off US workers).

Seriously though, how do they plan to sustain growth without a strong US customer base and more importantly money in their pockets? Do companies like PepsiCo have a Plan B to deal with the impending doom of a cash-strapped US consumer? Do they just assume people will magically keep buying their stuff despite having no income?

I just read the article in the post gazette regarding PNC. I’m not going to discuss any particular company, but what I will chime in on is that it is not ANY company‘s fault that downtown Pittsburgh has fallen apart and no one comes downtown anymore. They have continued to build more housing instead of investing in stores for people to shop. The crime is worse downtown. People have been as--ulted and shot in broad daylight. The whole downtown smells like mari--ana and ur--e. It is an embarrassment of a city and I can’t believe that the NFL draft is coming here next year.

And my final comment… regardless of what company you work for, forcing employees to come downtown is not going to help the economy or boost our city because people are struggling with the money that they are making, and can’t afford to go out and eat every day or park every day. A lot more people are probably using public transportation. I know I couldn’t afford to pay $25 a day to park. In the summer when I would come into work, I used to walk downtown on my lunch but now I’m afraid to. I stay in the building during my lunch. Just off the top of my head I recall a man walking around downtown with a machete, and also a different man was as--ulting women and exposing himself. As a woman, men in leadership positions need to understand the fear that women have of getting as--ulted. Thankfully, this has not happened to me, but I know someone that this happened to downtown. She is traumatized.

If the mayor of the city is going to put pressure on local companies to bring their employees into work to boost the downtown economy, it is not going to work. We are not all millionaires that can afford to go out and eat every day and shop at Larimer‘s. They have removed all of the cheaper, eating places like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Arby’s and others. To eat lunch at one of the restaurants downtown plan on dishing out at least $30 for a meal. We in the middle class do not make enough money to do that.

Please note these views are of my own opinion, and I am not speaking on behalf of anyone else, trying to represent a company or speaking on behalf of any particular company.

Yes

Annual sales declines of 2.6% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market

Earnings per share decreased by more than the revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable

8× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly

When do the Board declare no confidence in them ?

How many people got let go yesterday

I’m hearing some people got moved from exempt to non-exempt (ie hourly pay instead of salary) Is this true? I can’t imagine people being happy about it?

I would like to bring to your attention concerns regarding leadership practices and workplace conduct that may require investigation. There appear to be patterns of behavior that could potentially expose the organization to significant legal and financial liability.

Specifically, there are allegations of:

• Management practices that may not align with professional standards
• Possible involvement of Human Resources in matters that warrant review
• Concerns about workplace monitoring and external consultancy activities

If you have experienced similar concerns, I recommend documenting your experiences and considering whether to consult with colleagues or seek appropriate guidance through proper channels. Collective action through established procedures may be warranted to address these workplace issues and offer you better protection.

I encourage anyone affected to follow appropriate protocols for reporting workplace concerns through private legal counselling, private advocacy groups or governmental organizations. This includes refraining from contacting HR or using the whistleblower hotline. They will identify the most traumatic method to attribute responsibility back to you.

Over and out

They must still be secretly working on stuff behind the curtain

I had 5 RSUs scheduled to vest today. When I checked my account there are no pending transactions and now the next transaction is scheduled for March of next year. Is this happening for anyone else?

All the temp agencies workers will eventually be let go in the next 3 or 4 years........or earlier.

We simply can't. My group is already stretched thin, and losing even one more person would wreck everything. We’re barely holding things together as it is. How can they even consider more layoffs?

This is the weirdest layoff round I had to go through in my life, and I've been through more than a few. What the he-l is even happening? All we know is that some people are getting cut, but how many, where, when it will be done, or anything else is just wild guessing at this point. The. Fu-k.

Sandeep called somebody out by name and talked about him having foot surgery during the all-hands. Isn’t that PHI?

What’s happening today? I’m hearing very little. I know calls are taking place with some groups. Please share

Safe?

If Fannie Mae is bringing in 2.07 MILLION per employee, per year, why are layoffs necessary? Please educate me because I'm obviously a mo--n.

It seems that hope for next year is scarce. Looking at the chatter around 2026, optimism seems nonexistent. Most people don't expect any improvements, on the contrary. No wonder morale has never been lower.

Does anyone have ANY information on who will be affected?? Like teams/sectors?
