Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

Short-staffed, relying on temps, what a mess!

Laying off the tenured, knowledgeable, capable people and replacing them with temps/contractors hired off the street whose only work experience is at Dunkin Donuts is working out very badly! It is an absolute mess, they will hire anybody with a pulse as long as they are a body in a chair. They don't seem to care about quality and doing things right. And don't you dare get up off your desk to use the restroom! The company should be looking to hire recent college graduates who have a background in finance or at least studied it. Instead they hire these 19 year olds who will happily settle for $16 an hour.

these are people who previously handed out coffees at Dunkin Donuts. To be fair, the training program absolutely s---s, if you can even call it a training program. I'm not sure how well we are mitigating risk when we have people in financial roles who're completely unprepared and not capable of handling financial accounts & transactions. What a mess.

The new temp in my department can barely speak English and has zero computer skills but all my manager cares about is filling a seat. I'd love to have one of your Dunkin castoffs...

Hey, donut experience can be useful. At least they can recognize what a '0' looks like, which can be transferable to the financial industry. The thing is, where did they do with the holes?
