Why do so many threads reference the mgrs as the problem? I see so many people on my team that are employees who are actually the real problem. Don’t know the job, have to be hand held constantly, late all the time, ignore emails, and always seem to have some ba excuse why they have to leave earlier and stick the rest of the team. Stop blaming mgmt because you suck, your performance sucks and don’t like having to be told that. Grow up already

@OP+1cAbwE1G, 3apparently you don't have the skills to help motivate your team from the looks of things. It's team leaders like you if that is what you are or think you are that make the job unbearable. You're opinion of yourself tells me you spend more time looking at others faults and not your own. There are so many managers who spend the day in meetings trying to make themselves look important to cya's. Hope you do know that people do have lives outside of work that are not as easy as yours. Get off your high horse because the truth is that for every bad employee there are two backstabbing managers out there.
In my experience, team leaders are great. Those middle management managers though. The ones who don’t do the job, so don’t know it, and bully to get their way
Are there football teams where the coach talks to the players once a month?
A better analogy is BNY Mellon are the NY Jets of football. For every game you win, you lose ten more. There’s no such thing as a winning season at BNY Mellon, except of course if you sit on either the EC or the 1000 member “old boys club”. The board of directors is totally clueless.
I like the football analogy below. BNY just got sacked.
Here’s a solution to your problems. Go find another job! you’re all sitting on here like a bunch of gossip girls talking cr-p about the place and yet you won’t leave. Let’s make everyone miserable because you’re all miserable
Some of the d-mbest comments. And again blaming management for your inability to do your job smh
Either the d-mbest post of the year or a troll post.
I don't necessarily blame my manager...or supervisor, or team leader (whatever you want to call them). Wait, I do blame mine for caring too much about her position and expecting all of those under her to share that enthusiasm, though. I stopped caring years ago when it became apparent that 1% to 1.5% was the most I was ever going to get for a salary "increase" at this penny-pinching greed factory. Yeah, my attitude sucks and I probably should be let go...but, oh wait, I actually do do the work (do---o...get it?) so that seems to make me of some value to them.
@udt+1cAbwE1G what funny is in the Capitalist system is when the top down fails the whole chain and hierarchy is suffered. There is a financial and reputational loss involved.When a team loses a football match the entire unit is responsible not just the players. It is the coach, team manager and the whole structure. Although, here the managers are not whipped enough because of team's failure we should know where we are lacking as a Leader.It is not just to make your team sit like robots and make them go through those online trainings.Coaching is a different ball game and not every manager is skilled enough to do that and that is why your team suffers.
We're generally talking about management, not supervisors.
@ @qoa+1cAbwE1G- funny because as a manager my team has access to every procedure that walks you step by step without question. On top of it they get numerous cross trainings so there is no reason for them a year later to not know the basics. And yes everyone gets a lot of emails but to ignore them or ignore a group chat because they clearly doing other stuff not work related . Again stop blaming mgmt for lazy employees . It doesn’t take a year to learn a repetitive process. Gtfoh. There’s no morale because problem don’t want to work and it shows
Staff is unmotivated and doesn’t care, including myself… Who cares just enough to keep my job… Because we are treated like disposable garbage. Have been for a long time but it gets worse each year.
I feel like management has gotten worse regarding regurgitating corporate propaganda & being sheep.
The bank has created us versus them mentality when the reality is we should all be pi---d off at executive management… Not each other
As a manager, I've seen horrible staff and horrible managers. Staff are terminated and managers are protected so the higher ups who hired/promoted them don't end up with egg on their faces.
@obw...is totally correct about poor systems and procedures, rather than blaming staff BNY needs to invest time / bodies to address these. When I started there was a projects department, technicians and technical managers looked at improvements. Not now, projects are handled by Techs and Techs have to do BAU everyday. If you want staff to understand and take pride in their roles BNY needs to invest.
Do they ignore mails because they receive too many? Do they don't know what to do because systems and procedures are not clear/confusing? Should you put your work into question when you have this within your team? You probably won't like the answers. And if you are the manager, what holds you back to hire stronger performers?
Either way the manager is the problem.This happens because the Leader is not able to coach or be a mentor to the Team. Your Team has lost the enthusiasm and your failure of doing so reflects on the Team. Take note before this post gets deleted.
