I don’t feel like giving any notice as this is definitely my last job. I pretty much already know the answer but I am curious about the responses: can’t I just quit with no notice? If I was in my twenties, accounting degree, “working on my master’s”, and knew I had decades to work with no social security and so forth, yes- give notice. But why me? ;)

No. You need a specialist to talk to and you cannot just rely on Alight’s portal which is not connected to BNY in real time. You also need to supply a lot of information and require a notary
@e2 isn't it as simple as logging into https://digital.alight.com/bny and applying for your pension benefits?
@a4 they can’t claw back your bonus if it’s earned for the previous year of work. Once it’s in the bank account it’s yours. The scenario where they can claw back a bonus is if it’s a sign on bonus and you don’t meet your end of the agreement.
I have been contemplating quitting quite a while now. I may just walk in and say "here is my work laptiop. It has been nice knowing you all and bye" After all, I dont owe anyone.
Im not giving this place notice. F them. They have the nerve to try to bully us into giving more than a 2 week notice which is plenty of time. Yet they hold up filling reqs as if thats our problem so they demand more notice all while firing anyone and everyone out of nowhere and with no notice. Cant stand this place anymore. They can choke on their RSUs and everything else too
OP,
Just give your notice to HR - retirement team. I don’t know your situation but when you retire, there is a special department called retirement services that helps you get all your benefits lined up and supported- health care, any pension if you have and any other benefits owed to you. You dont even have to tell your manager or directs if you don’t want to. If you just outright quit or act like a jack ar.se, you could find it hard to access or get these things.
And you don’t want that at this point now do you? Dont tell anyone except the retirement team.
When's the last time that the bank went the extra quarter-mile for the employees? In that, you will start to see your answer.
Everytime I left a job, I have the 2 weeks notice, worked super hard up to the very last day. I'm nearing retirement, meaning I am an older worker. Thats the problem with the kids these days, just never actually doing the job, going the extra mile, just simply because its the right thing to do.
@OP of course you can just quit, but if you don’t give the required notice they could claw back your bonus. When I ‘retired’ (quit) I gave the 30 day notice & didn’t do a heck of a lot in those final days - used up accumulated vacation days which I wouldn’t have gotten paid out on. Give your notice & then sit back & relax.
I would just quit, yes; it is your prerogative. LOL- you have perfectly described in an excellent way most young workers!
