Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

True, we are NOT and there never has been a socialist country that provides for its citizens. Don’t listen to current politicians. The trademark of Socialism is 1% owning 99% of the wealth. No exceptions, ever. Study history millennials... it was not taught to you but you are capable of learning it. Read Doctor Zhivago, about the Bernie Sanders of exactly 100 years ago. It is as much as accurate history as a fiction novel.

It’s a tough decision for those that remain. But here is a thought: you are only getting older, and maybe less employable. (That might not be true, but who knows.)

Do you wait for a package and then find yourself unable to find a job?

Or do you look now while your skills are still fresh?

We need to consider our future and plan the best way forward. One thing is for sure: BNY is NOT reliable.

Best plan seems to be, start looking for a new job while still here, and collect a package if laid off first.

We in our US office know it's coming. we just don't know how much or how fast they will make it all happen.

Glad to have been laid off. Note this company is going to lay off more in order to spend the billions on tech. In fact, learn Python if you want to stick around at a bare minimum.

BONY has been quiet toxic over a year . Managers saying stupid things to employees in a meeting , The unethical policies which hurt employees at a lower rank continue. Soon there's gonna be a Zombie acopalypse in this Company soon .

Reminder: we are NOT in a socialist country that provides for its citizens. We live under a CAPITALIST system where companies can do whatever they want to satisfy their investors, AKA capitalists. This system is often great for many - including workers - but not so much for others. Don’t give up! Keep trying, and GOOD LUCK!

Yes, do not quit!
