No reason to stay

BNY Mellon has become the perfect place to join, stay for a year or two until you've accumulated enough experience and knowledge and then take what you've learned to a bank/company that will appreciate you for what you bring to the table. Staying... — read more

Cutoff date for mandatory vaccine?

If the unvaxxed are still able to work from home on March 7, I would think that at some point a mandatory Vax date will be announced.

If one isn't vaccinated ...

If one isn't vaccinated (or is but decides to pretend that they aren't) and doesn't have (or wish to share) their vaccination card, will a "guard" really turn them away: "go back home!!! That is an order!!!" This should be interesting. Is there... — read more 

What WILL the first day back at the office be like?

What WILL the first day back at the office be like? Massive line at the turnstiles while the "guards" check to see if you have proof of vaccination? Will they tell you to "go back home" if you don't have your card? This should be very interesting... — read more 

Trying to stay marketable

It’s very important to stay marketable, but it’s not that easy. I thought that the experience I gained here during 4 years would make me more marketable, but that is not the case. What is the best way to stay marketable? What are you doing to stay... — read more

Bunch of babies

How long have we been home? Suck it up. Life needs to get back to normal. You are all a bunch of whiney snowflakes.

Who knows ?

Where did Todd get his medical degree to tell everyone what’s best for their health ?

Salary band mid points - US locations

Can we have a similar thread for the US location please? I didn't know there was such thing as salary bands. Interested in New York, grades J, K, L, M

I, for one, am exited…

BNYM is where mediocrity goes to die

No growth, no moral, no management --- even constantly bringing back burnt out managers who were let go years ago. If the firm wasn't a utility for the marketplace it would have imploded long ago. Truly full of people waiting to pass away without... — read more

I've been reading this forum for a while now and I find it funny when someone says that his or her workload has grown so much that they are now doing work for three people. Someone even mentioned that they do work for as many as four people!!! I... — read more 

I can’t take it anymore

My discontent at and with BNYM has turned into hatred and resentment. I’ve been looking for a new job for almost two months. I’ve been on 6-7 interviews but I’ve either turned them down or not heard back yet. Every day is worse and worse here. My... — read more

Let's Pretend We Didn't See It Coming?

Is this another case of "let's pretend we didn't see it coming"? I took a look at the P/E graphs and it certainly looks like we are headed into dangerous territory--along with reduced resources and climate chaos. But it's hard figuring out how to... — read more

Don't stay here unless you have no choice

I see a lot of very young folks have been joining lately. I'm assuming the reason is either they're cheap and we all know the bank wants to cut costs any way it can or we're at the point where nobody with experience wants to join so we don't have any... — read more

2021 W2 Statement

I downloaded my 2020 W2 from the BNY Mellon intranet on January 20, 2021 while I was still employed. I am no longer at the firm. Has anyone who is also no longer an active employee, received their 2021 W2 yet or know when they may be sent out? And... — read more

BACK TO THE OFFICE

Heard from a good source we will not be going back to the office until May or June. If Omicron is subsiding, they want to make sure there isn't a resurgence.

Astronomical stress

Sometimes I really wonder why I need all this, why I don't accept any other offer just to get rid of so much stress. Our manager only knows how to set unrealistic goals and create stress. It's getting worse day by day. Is it even possible to... — read more

Friend quit for lower pay

We both have been considering quitting for months and looking at what's available, but he decided that he'd had enough and he just wanted out. The first offer he got, he accepted. Nearly a 20 percent cut in pay but he was willing to take it. I envy... — read more

Not showing proof of covid

Idg why the bank is not asking their employees for proof of a positive covid test. You’re giving two weeks pay without knowing if someone is blowing smoke. Makes no sense

Layoffs will always be happening

It's on you to be prepared when that happens. Worrying about layoffs all the time makes no sense. If you prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario, you can forget about the threat of layoffs because you know you're going to be okay no matter what... — read more

There are worse things than being laid off

The well intended people who advise to "keep your head down" do not get it. This mentality is part of the over problem with the company. I have many relatively senior colleagues who have selfishly uttered similar sayings. These are 55+ year olds who... — read more

Pay is too low

Actually, pay is low if you look at the amount of work that needs to be done and the stress that needs to be endured. Every colleague I talked to who's left here, has received a much higher pay in their new companies. I think BNYM will have to give... — read more
