Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

The silence from RV and the EC isn’t an accident. It’s the whole strategy.

Say nothing, disclose nothing, and you never trigger WARN, EEOC scrutiny, or uncomfortable questions from shareholders about where the bodies—sorry, cost savings—went.

Leadership has chosen opacity over ethics, and the People Team plays along like a well‑trained bystander and harbor seal, clapping and applauding themselves for prayer rooms and 3rd party mental‑health webinars while ignoring the actual workplace anxiety they helped create. They call it culture. They call it engagement. But everyone can see the truth: it’s window dressing on a restructuring plan they refuse to admit exists.

Absolutely true. I was a manager who ignored this guidance and got burned by the same farce. Lesson learned. Coaching and development? Only if you count learning how to survive dysfunction. Long tenured middle managers just care about protecting their jobs not realizing they will eventually fall victim to this farce. The place isn’t just flawed. It’s a full-on toxic wasteland dressed up as a workplace. Timed my exit, lined up something better, and landed at a company that actually treats employees like humans, supports work-life balance, and shockingly pays well.

@ax wtf does DJT have to do with Robins sc-mbag initiatives? He hates Americans!!! While hes costing us jobs hes making millions. So sit tf down cause i also cant wait for the cards to crash and I hope its very soon

2025 was a triumph because they falsified so many EOY performance ratings and then terminated people because of it. Not to mention all the quiet layoffs keeping them off the state warn act like what NYS has. This company has become disgusting under the current american hating sr. Leaders

I left 6 months ago and I am thriving!

Robin must think his employees are as d-mb as he is.

@ax
You are insane.
Your only revenue salvation is in Dr. Kevorkian’s Medicide book.

@ax Another People Team troll with a capital “L” … get a real job!

@a9

That is a pathetic thought process. Whether you like the leadership or not, wishing a firm comes down to satisfy your desire that the leadership fails shows your character.

Simple, I may dislike DJT and his way of governing - disapprove to - but I will never wish that Iran have nuclear we-pons so that I can crow that DJT met his Waterloo

Weeds like you must be removed, mercilessly. If RV is successful in that aspect, he has crossed the bridge 90% the remaining 10% is easy.

EPS of $2.25, exceeding expectations of $1.94 by 15.98%. Revenue grew 12.9% year-over-year to $5.41 billion

That is revenue - with a capital R - with all the pesky (blood su-king) client and "talent" (paper-tigers) and non-functioning locations eliminated.

You may not like it, but as an investor, that is Results - again with capital R.

“Success-driven culture” and “connections” are often presented as something employees can build after joining a company. That is not the reality many experience.

In practice, those connections are already in place. Leaders are brought in with their networks, and those networks follow. Teams are reshaped, and too often, qualified employees are replaced by familiar faces. Advancement is not about performance. It is about proximity.

We continue to hear executives speak about their career paths and how they achieved success. What is never acknowledged is how much of that journey was enabled by moving as a group, not rising individually.

When one leader leaves for a new opportunity, the same pattern often repeats. The network moves together, and the impact on existing teams is the same.

In environments where self-interest dominates, employee contributions and loyalty are rarely valued. They are leveraged to advance those already positioned to benefit.

Thriving…..
Eliminating people. Eliminating locations. Eliminating ‘pesky’ demanding clients.
Only listening to the investor community and no one else. Eliminating talent and the future for stock price.
Yep… thriving.
Just remember, what goes up must come down.
