COVID and BNY Mellon’s Logic

The Covid FAQs for BNY Mellon say that in office staff no longer have to social distance and are not required to wear masks. Odd that the CDC’s Guidlines explicitly state:

Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others.
Stay 6 feet apart from others who don’t live with you.
Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces.

BNY Mellon is not requiring masks in office. BNY Mellon will not be social distancing - we will all be jammed in Tuesdays - Thursdays. To get to work, BNY Mellon says it’s on the employees to get to work, which could mean public transportation (crowds and poorly ventilated spaces).

BNY Mellon is willing to put - UNNECESSARY RISK - on their vaccinated staff (meanwhile letting their unvaccinated staff continue to work from home) - great incentive to get vaccinated. Until we know what COVID and the variants will do, why cannot we continue how it has been for the last 15 months?

I get some employees want to go in, but most do not. Most have been successful, productive and with the Q2 earnings the Company and EC is not hurting. For those who do not perform their job well while at home, the mid-years and “competent” managers should catch those people. But also, Todd and the EC do not think managers can keep track of their employees in office and remote - nothing makes sense anymore.

@6txz+1cbANMRr

The experimental vaccine is what caused the mutation and new variants. No matter how many mutations you guinea pigs cause, I am not masking up or getting the jab.

@rzs+1cbANMRr, unvaccinated are being admitted due to covid-19 complications as much if not more than the vaccinated. The cases I've read about who did get infected after being vaccinated have had lesser complications. Those who don't want to get vaccinated need to follow the CDC guidelines and at least wear a mask. Doesn't make sense to play the blame game when both are being infected with this virus mutating to this new variant and making this virus linger on and on. WFH is the best case scenario until there are positive results showing that this virus is under control once and for all.

There is no protocol being followed. People are showing up, sitting wherever they please with no distancing whatsoever. I know that there are a number of people lying about what floor they’re going to when their assigned floor is full & managers are aware of this.

All it is going to take is for 1 person to test positive after being in the office. We all touch the same doorknobs, bannisters, printers and bathrooms, So this Will happen!! More people will get sick. Todd has an office and a door, I have a cube which is 2 feet from another cube. I am vaccinated, but so is my healthy 40 year old cousin who is in the hospital right now with Covid so yes, I am nervous about RTO. We all should be given the option of WFH or retuning to the office, until things get better. BNY wants this to be over, but IT IS NO OVER a YET! Stay safe everyone!!

If you have been exposed to someone with Covid you need to isolate for 2 weeks, and WFH! I see a lot of people being exposed in the future!

Is this the same CDC that is supposed to prevent pandemics to begin with?

What risk is BNYM putting on the “vaccinated”? You all claim you can’t get it and are safe so what are you concerned with? Is it the fact the CDC says vaccinated are superspreaders, the fact fully vaccinated are the ones going to the ER with covid that they aren’t supposed to get or the fact that you took a shot not knowing what impact or side effects it will have cause someone told you it was great. Now look at the data coming out. Shouldn’t have jumped on it and waited. The unvaccinated who chose not to take the death shot should be home cause we don’t want whatever it is that you all are spreading . Case closed

Here are some of my thoughts on this topic.

You should never use BNY Mellon and logic in the same sentence.

The fact that the CDC (at the direction of the President) is defying a Supreme Court ruling and extended the eviction moratorium. Prime example of how the CDC is allowing political pressure to influence their decision making.

Yes, the RTO plan is not great incentive for the unvaccinated to get the experimental jab. You know what else is not great incentive? A 99.5% survival rate for those infected.

I think what Todd is waiting on to save him from this embarrassing decision is a shutdown order from the government. That way he doesn't look like a flip flopper on the issue.

CDC does not set guidelines yes but BNY Mellon cannot preach that they are following protocol including the CDC and then publicly go against it. BNY Mellon back tracks everything they do.

CDC recommends....CDC doesn't set the policy.

During my mid-year I was told to be positive and showcase that to other employees. Then after my manager said they are so disappointed in returning to work and want to stay home.

Like WTF.
