Good to see chronic work stress is finally being recognized... I think about 90 percent of BNYM employees are affected by this problem...

I was let go back in September 2018. Prior to that I was under tremendous stress. If you’re suffering any type of stress, please have your doctor check all your adrenal and cortisol levels. I suffered from adrenal burnout, look it up it has 4 stages ( I was at stage 4) and there are many conditions that are a result of this autoimmune disease.
If your PCP doesn’t know what to do seek out an ND for help! Be well everyone, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Ironic but there seems to be so much disruption that there can less stress. No one actually expects to get anything done any more. Less expectation, less stress.
When BNY started these layoffs some years ago, some remaining people were stressed filling in for those let go. This was very stressful for those people, and for morale in general. We don’t like good people let go, or kept and stressed.
Now, so many are gone and so many are doing double or triple jobs, there is no point being stressed. We simply cannot do our jobs, period. All we can do is show up for work, put in our eight hours, and go home. Not much stress in that.
If we are BE at working in this environment, that is a further insult but exactly what to expect from BNY, who seems to delight in such opportunites to hurt their workers.
Up side, maybe some will get let go with packages. Meanwhile, we are just about all looking for a better place to work. Because - guess what, BNY! - we actually like to be productive and have accomplishments but we can no longer do that HERE.
Good luck to us all.

Save yourselves. There are better jobs out there
According to the World Health Organization, burnout is characterized by feelings of exhaustion, increased mental distance from your job or reduced professional efficacy. If you’re experiencing any of these things, your workplace stress is not being successfully managed.
But this has gone beyond management. How can this mess be managed? We’ll probably get a reminder that mental health counseling is one of our “benefits”.
Was already covered in previous posts. The lord of the rings analogy is what gives it away....
Wait. Is that true? Is there really a 29 year old son-in-law of a JP exec reporting to Charlie?
It’s stress every day for me and my co workers. Rows of empty cubes, more work piled on, no replacement of co workers on sick leave. It’s absolutely crazy! I want to know what is the end game? Surely they have a plan, I want to know what it is! Good luck to all!
I have stress pimples. Pimples! From stress! Zits galore.
My hair is thinning from stress. Teeth feel like they're rotting away from grinding. Lips are chapped from chewing on them as I hold in the words I really want to say some days to people.
But hey, it's all about that growth mindset. Who cares if I look like Gollum a year from now.

Me too. I am still here but looking for a better place.
Me.
I was let go last week, been there a long time. I will say that my life has been a lot less stressful! No one knows what is going on, too busy to give answers. Good luck to those who are left, hopefully you will not have a nervous breakdown with all the BS and amount of work you now are stuck with.
It's what ended up causing me to resign last Month! I left bny, left the financial industry, and never been happier! The stress factor is very real and I was told by multiple Physicians that it would have had very serious consequences within the next few years and quite possibly have k--led me if I had not made the decision to leave!
