Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

Compensation - Disappointing Again

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 2026.

@bb 30% is the largest bonus percent I've ever heard of here. How did you manage that?

1% merit. 2.2% incentive. I think I manifested the wrong 1% club. I’ll have to have a talk with the universe.

They actually had the stone cold nerve to cite “employee raises” as a noteworthy component of rising expenses in the analyst earnings call, on the same day they’re handing out 1-2% to high performers. They are lacking any human qualities.

Don't forget to deduct that 5% off the top of your bonus that was sent into the void.
