I've read numerous posts on this site, some positive, some encouraging and some that are clearly written out of clear frustration. I'm posting to remind everyone that the demeaning, frustrating , rude posts do not help our cause. I get it and understand why some of you are posting things like that but we need to remain strong and most importantly UNITED. Charlie may be the CEO but we need to remind him who we are and why we matter.
The truth is that there are lots of Charlie's out there and leaving BNY to go somewhere else is no guarantee of happiness. My job for instance at BNY is one that I love and cannot imagine doing without but I've had to catch myself several times over the last couple of months because I could see my own attitude turning negative. We all know that this is a very tough environment but we need to come together and show Charlie that he cannot defeat us.
The good news here is that we are making progress, our voices are being heard. The press here in the US and even in London are starting to publish articles that expose Charlie for his shortsightedness and genuinely being out of touch with today's worker. Believe that we are making a change, stay positive and resolute in our beliefs that work life balance matters. Keep your voices loud, contact the board members and lets make sure they hear loud and clear that Charlie and his outdated methods have no place here in our company.
