I thought managers were supposed to manage, and that all our bloated procedures supposedly served a purpose. Out of all the meetings we had lately, maybe one or two were actually useful, the rest were a complete waste of time. Most of us actually know how to do our jobs. But I guess some managers still need to justify their existence somehow.

Like the meeting today where all of operations got passed the blame because the bimbos at the top lost clients in lieu of their bs policies? This was my favorite so far. They weren’t taking accountability like good leadership does, they say we need to come together and be more client focused. Up all your a--holes for that one. What a joke this place is
BNY is full of people who spend more of their day talking about work (and about other people doing work) than actually doing any work themselves.
And the company culture is so performative that it is see as an indicator of busyness, or even value, that someone spend ls their day talking about or emailing about work than actually doing any work.
It's just American work culture. Having your calendar blocked for 90% of the day is supposed to indicate hard work and productivity presumably.
When you have useless management, you have lots or useless meetings.
You mean nobody la following their recoup period for remainder of year where everyone was told reduce them? Insert sarcasm. This happens when you have a bunch of people who have nothing to do and need time fillers. Yet disregard the fact everyone else actually does.
Thanks for raising this we will have a 2 hour town hall on this 6am Monday. #earlybirdcatchesthatworm #inspiredbygreatness
And I love (sarcastic) these mandatory meetings that start a couple hours before my start time. They are so pointless. It’s all high level and makes no sense too. Data this data that. Data data data. Just shut up! I don’t care.
