@gur Last year we were also buried in TM during this “recharge period”, working endless OT while simultaneously training our India and LM replacements.
Just more lies fed to the media.
Recharge period… phooey.
With Robin’s toadstools, we are in perpetual ‘re - ta-d’ period
What is a ‘recharge” period?
Last years was used to make changes to the tracking and roll out the tracking tool. Don’t think for a second they are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.
I dare one of you to suggest cannolis (instead of the usual bagels) for the next town hall
It’s more of a lifting of the RTO standards than anything else.
BNY HR using the recharge period to work on changes to HR policies that will sc--w those laid off in January 2025 (and beyond) like no reimbursement for carryover vacation. Yeah, they made note of it in October despite most of us having heavy workloads and using ALOT of vacation around the holidays but having to carrying over the rest. Ba----ds.
We're not saying it didn't happen or it doesn't exist. I think we all understand the recharge period was publicized (for optics)... The point is only those whose workload allows will benefit from the so-called recharge period. Generally speaking if you're in operations there's no benefit from the recharge period.

You can google "bnymellon recharge" and see multiple articles from last year stating bny mellon gives workers 2 week recharge period. Even the internal email sent out this year references it. I don't know why some folks apparently were excluded.
If there was a recharge period last year, we didn’t get one and three people I asked from neighboring departments on Teams said they didn’t get one, either.
Not true. There was a recharge period last year.
I was thinking the same thing. We never had a “recharge” period before in 21 years at BNY and, for that matter, almost 46 years in banking.
