Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

How are you going to spend the $$$

We are the weekend away from actually receiving our raises we were told about MONTHS ago.

Let's pretend that inflation hasn't already wiped out the spending power of our pathetic raises.

How are you going to spend it?

I plan to put my extra $25/month into a Got Laid Off party fund. I figure the longer I have to suffer this place, the better the party I should have when I am set free.

With any luck, my fund won't grow beyond $25.

Pretty much Powerball, it should cover all of the weekly drawings.

No work from home is like getting your salary cut. Another 45 a week for gas and 30 or so for tolls. But hey, its soooo worth it to collaborate with co-workers (by email and kync) in the office.

Yup! I agree with the previous post. I went from making $19 per hour at BNY to $26 per hour at my new job in a different industry. Options are out there, guys! You have transferable skills! Take em and use em elsewhere! Good luck :)

Someone please tell me, why don’t people unhappy with their compensation go get a better job somewhere else? Usually the largest jumps in pay are with a new job. If you are young, go for it. If closer to retirement, I guess we’re stuck with our 2% salary adjustment... and million dollar 401ks.
