Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

“Leaving to pursue other opportunities” gag

I heard there was an email shared of an exec in EMEA who was leaving to “pursue other opportunities”…… but under the email announcement was a conversation about their settlement agreement having not been signed and when they should share the email on the replacement.

Anyone else see/hear this? You always knew the majority weren’t leaving of their own choice but this would be confirmation on the way this place behaves

Heard about this also. The guys replacement was stating the next week. Simon V.

Sloppiness at that level to be sharing that detail in an email is a sign of where this place is heading

Is this regarding Dan G? I got the e-mail about him a few days ago.

Decided to pursue other opportunities is euphemism for saying, 'he/she has been forced by us to seek other opportunities since there is no job for them'. This is the most foolish way to hide behind the fact that this firm has lost its way and has no idea on how to stablize itself.

Or another favourite is "has decided to retire"...

This is standard practice. I know of quite a few in UK that's have left 'to pursue other other opportunities' but it wasn't by choice!!
