I'm starting to lose hope that anybody is actually hiring.

Raise and bonus disappointing again. It is a morale ki-ler considering that just yesterday the bank reported such strong earnings and the stock price. The kicker is that we now have less experienced staff and more work heaped upon us. Welcome to... — read more 

With Pune announcing they will stop working at 11pm their time around 12:30pm EST, NYC teams are scrambling as the teams do NOT have appropriate staffing to perform the job or experience due to all the layoffs over the past years.

As long as there are those around who remember what was, there will be people who will resist what will be. We are in the endgame folks, he means to wipe us all out and he’s got the stones to do it.

Did this same scenario happen to anyone else? I was put on a performance plan for 30 days sept 24th with a list of things to get completed. I had arguments of course of what was written on it. All bullsh-t of course. Even still I did all the things... — read more

The tone deafness is staggering. Come one, come all, even though 1 in 4 of you are on borrowed time. But no worries, you can retire on your 10 shares of Burger King stock. Come and hear our overlords drone on about P-M, AI, the analysts who will be... — read more

For anyone not aware, it is mandatory that 5% of your bonus will be awarded in shares. Team members will only get told during their meeting. You get a minimum of 2 shares if you can't afford more. Can anyone explain how this is calculated? E.g. if... — read more 

Nice to know BNY finds it necessary to spend $200,000 on two stupid robots that look at if they came from a vintage 1980s Sharper Image catalog. Two hundred grand and for what? To tell jokes? But let’s lay off staff. Robin Vince is a useless... — read more 

Any layoffs today

It seems like there are some disagreements about my previous post on capitalism. Let me explain more, and you don’t have to agree with it — that’s totally fine. In the last post, some of you said there are many welfare abusers in this country. I... — read more

The U.S. feels like it’s entering the late stage of capitalism. The cost of living—housing, healthcare, and insurance—has gone through the roof. The government takes50% of your income before you even see your paycheck. Wages can’t keep up with... — read more 

It absolutely doesn't matter how hard you work, how much overtime you do, or how critical your role is. There's no rationale for selecting people for layoffs beyond immediate profits. I suspect people claiming 2026 will be worse than 2025 are right... — read more

I keep hearing that some directors are coming to Pittsburgh for some announcements. I know of two manager directors that are coming from the UK and India. A couple of other managers coming from other US locations. Does anyone know whats going on?

As a people manager (UK) I have a low paid top performing team member, who is expected to be promoted next week, however her new salary increase looks miserable. If she gets offered a new job external for more money (which she can prob get easily)... — read more 

Has anyone had luck with attorneys to reclaim severance or bonus? If you're interested in speaking to a reporter, reach out to: sabrina.kharrazi@ft.com

Anyone else still not receive their severance offer? Was let go in early December and have still heard nothing. Really frustrating as I can’t stay unemployment until I know what I’m getting.
