Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

Let’s Recap

For those of us per go in January let’s recap the experience.
Trouble accessing the portal with all the separation agreement.
No return call from the 2 HR people that would call you back within 48 hours.
Mass confusion on how to return the laptop. Expecting former employees to pay for a box is nerve, to say the least.
Five weeks in and nothing from the outplacement service.
Five weeks in and nothing on how to get your belongings.
To accept the separation agreement you need to do it from an outdated browser, then log back into chrome.
For those that are bonus eligible no word as there’s an issue with the documents.
BNYM - could you have “ messed” this up any more ?

Understand we are at the bottom of the food chain, but get your act together.

After my separation package which was pretty uneventful filing for unemployment wasn't. Here we are in the first week of March and still have not received any unemployment payments. If you live out of the state of NJ, when you go online to verify your identity you cannot because they only allow you to enter NJ identification with the form of a drivers license. You now have to call and answer the questions to an automated system. You can't add checking information in order to receive your payments once they commence so your only option is a Bank of America debit card which I still have not received. Forget about trying to get a live agent on the line. Hopefully within the next week of so I may receive that elusive debit card and payments, I hope and pray. Thanks BNYM for putting me out of my misery, awful place to work for along with all the snakes in the grass they call management.

Why is it unfair? I know the rules in the UK are different than the US.

I managed to get my belongings back easily but they were couriered over to me in a shopping bag. So when they came to collect my laptop I returned it in the same bag. Screw them.

To get your settlement in the UK you have to sign a settlement agreement and must have a lawyer review and advise you. My lawyer said that it's unfair dismissal what they've done, but due to less than 2 years employment I can't sue them for it.

Maybe you can sue the bank for breach of contract for not honoring their end of the separation agreement? Any lawyers reading this post?

Which regulator would you send to.
Ideas on media ?
They shouldn’t be allowed to treat people like this.

Glad they let me go when they did.
Agree with getting it in front of media.

Disgraceful organisation. Go to regulator and put it in writing. Cc you local political representation. If no reply in 5 days then send to media.

That about sums it up.
You would think they let so many people go they would have this figured out.
BNYM is a special kind of incompetent.
And Todd might be the worst CEO in the banks history.

Spot on! The place was horrible! The process at the end was amazingly clunky. The whole place is an embarrassment. I don’t know how they have clients. They just can’t get their stuff together. I am so happy to have been a chosen one to leave. I don’t miss it at all. I walk out of the place with scars, that hopefully will heal with time. I worry about those on my former team and the misery they still have to endure with management that is incapable and slanderous on their best day and they have to proceed with caution daily as the stench of fear permeates the place.
