In the BNY annual letter, BNY leadership credits ‘culture and connections’ for our strong performance. Really? Or is this just a poetic way of saying the balance sheet looks fantastic when thousands of employees mysteriously vanish through ‘efficiency initiatives.’ Apparently 2025 was a triumph because nothing boosts margins like RTO‑driven attrition, frozen hiring, and AI agents quietly absorbing entire job families.
And 2026? Even more ‘opportunity,’ which is corporate code for deeper cuts wrapped in inspirational hashtags emojis.
But don’t worry — leadership says we’re all thriving together. Afterall, check the stock price and EC Compensation Plans. Some of us just happen to be thriving right out the door.” #onwardandupward
