I’ve never seen so many coworkers checked out at the same time. After the way this year’s gone, it’s hard to feel supported, valued, or even wanted here. People aren’t talking about growing with the company anymore, all they’re doing these days is... — read more 

This situation is deeply disheartening. I have not encountered a single employee here who is genuinely happy with their working conditions. What is even more concerning is the complete lack of external coverage or awareness regarding what the staff... — read more 

I would have walked away from this place ages ago if I wasn't waiting on a payout.

I’d like you to know how tf all these made up positions are coming out of the woodwork for these dbags to come on board when we have been working short staffed for how long? why these pricks are so arrogant and cocky and have no clue what we do and... — read more 

Over the last few months work has become exhausting in a way I truly didn’t expect. I keep getting called into discussions with no warning about what they’re for, and by the time I sit down I already feel behind because everyone else seems prepared... — read more 

Has anyone moved internally recently? Has anyone had luck or grass greener doing this?

These co-worker feedbacks really make no sense. I chose people I thought liked me. I gave everyone 5’s regardless of how I felt because I’m not doing BNY’s dirty work. But dang this thing has really made hostile feelings amongst the group and lots... — read more 

Anthropic - " AI is moving to fast" Meanwhile RV confuses jumping off a cliff with flying.

downplaying inflation and saying unemployment is all time low. all i see and hear around the country are people getting laid off and cant afford to take care of their families

Sometimes their expectations are truly ridiculous. Maybe we can let them do our jobs for a while, just so they could get some perspective (even though I firmly believe none of them would last for more than a day.)

I thought it was interesting that the latest survey I received did not ask whether I would recommend BNY as a place to work or whether I would consider leaving BNY for another job. I guess management is worried about the answers that would be given... — read more

BNY’s “transformation” machine keeps producing the same outcome: people doing real work get tossed aside, then retroactively labeled as “not a fit” to justify decisions already made in a conference room weeks earlier. The script never changes —... — read more 

Does anyone know what BNY provide as way of a reference to a new employer, specifically in EMEA. Nothing to hide just curious if they go any further than 'time served'.

That’s what makes all of this so hard. I actually like what I do. Watching what’s been happening here, and seeing a place that used to be great get systematically torn down piece by piece, really breaks my heart.

I came from a very tough regional bank, but being at BNY right now is way harder than that ever was. The team is extremely unorganized, there is no proper development process, and there was absolutely zero onboarding training. The culture is mostly... — read more

What is the point of the feedback? Im so over getting harrassed about that sh-t and half the people requesting it or it assigns to you i dont even know.

Are you kidding me, you show up to the town hall wearing skinny short pants and ankle top sneakers ?

TRend at Bnym, and it’s not subtle. More and more employees are being “RIF’d” under the disguise of performance issues — even when their track record is spotless. Let’s call it what it is: ageism and salary targeting.Batman and Robin don’t want to... — read more 

I've worked in some difficult environments before, but nothing has prepared me for what this place has become. It feels less like a company and more like a dystopian novel where nobody's safe and nothing makes sense.

How honest are we being this year with regards to feedback at BNY? I'm usually extra generous when it comes to ratings but this year i find myself being brutally honest and people don't seem to be getting good scores at all (i'm blaming menopause)!!
