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 they’ve been conditioned to think like that. So every month of the year they spend their time wondering when their life is gonna end with the next round of layoffs.
When I worked at BNY Mellon, everyone wanted to be my friend. My coworkers wanted to know EVERYTHING about me. They all wanted my phone number so they could call me or text me after work, or hang out after work. There was this click and that click and the other click. It was all so ridiculous!
People at BNY Mellon don’t know where their professional life stops and where their personal life begins.
God forbid you actually make “friends” with your coworkers at BNY Mellon. They will make you feel obligated to look out for their best interests instead of your best interests.
I didn’t know one person at that company who would consistently leave work on time every day, and go have a wholesome meaningful life outside of work. Everyone I knew pondered and stewed about work for every waking hour that they weren’t actually working. It’s one of the most unhealthiest things I’ve ever seen.
Managers promote this behavior because they want you to always feel obligated to every aspect of your job at all times.
Managers at this company put it in your head that you’re next to get laid off if you don’t meet this, that or the other expectation on your performance agreement.
At BNY Mellon there is only 1 expectation. You are expected to be manipulated for someone else’s benefit. The moment that you start thinking and doing for yourself instead of others, the moment you start saying no instead of saying yes, THATS when they will finally show you the door.
