Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

Promotions

Im sorry but that list was comical. So many people on it who dont know sh-t and don't do sh-t. Yet they got promoted to VP. How tf does this sh-t even make sense? Yet others are being looked over who earned those titles. FU BNY!!!! count your days.

How about we stop giving offices to people who don’t have direct reports as well. People got promoted and got offices? This can’t be real life

@k8 story of my life. I’m so tired of the BS already. Stop promoting people who aren’t doing RTO. We all notice

Sycophants are promoted in each and every large company.
BUT there are usually pockets within the organization, where competence and effectiveness is rewarded.
The problem with BNY is that there are not many such pockets left.
Team meetings turned from work and tasks to discussing how brilliant last RV’s intwrview was.

I have seen a few people that did not meet RTO or were not in office for full days get a promotion.

My decision after they denied a promotion that I demanded ..

In a "too big to fail" system, individual leverage is often an illusion, as the corporate machinery is designed to persist regardless of who stays or goes. When a deserved/demanded promotion is denied, it signals that the professional path has reached a dead end, making further emotional or intellectual investment a losing trade. Rather than "feeding the machine" by training replacements or managing a labyrinth of stress, the focus should shift to reclaiming mental bandwidth for personal development and financial security. Since a single employee is just a drop in a bucket for a firm with global resources, the most logical strategy is to prioritize one's own marketability over the company's maintenance. In this new order, if the value of one's time isn't met with the right pay, the only real power left is to stop imparting knowledge and start preparing for the exit.

Working towards enhancing my marketability, stop being stressed out and shoring up my backup finances if they PIP me out.

But I do not think BNY is unique here. All corporates in financial services are heading the same pathway. In a way, I am thankful BNY taught me a lesson NOT TO INVEST in a company

Agree with a lot on the vp list being a joke. It’s the ones putting in the face time with the people teams and dei hires getting the promos while those of us that do the grunt work get cr-p for merits and no promos. Then survey and get poor scores and all management can do is stick I finger up their noses and go Oh we can’t understand why people aren’t happy on the surveys. Then how they chose to dump us and keep the laziest d-mbest of the bunch is beyond me then promote them I’m at a loss for words

I was told to train my India counterpart and said yeah right. Took them 2 years to get rid of me and they tried the bs partially meets expectatiion route.
Was on an informal PIP and my manager never met with me once in 3 months and then tried telling me I failed. I asked for all the documentation of everything she stated and could not produce it.
Extended the PIP an additional 3 months and met weekly. Had to pass me because I produced everything being asked.
Next mid year same BS and failed me. I had 25 plus years and countered HR with age discrimination. I got my full, severance. DON'T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK.

Yeah. Completely irritates me. People I trained in India constantly promoted and to levels higher than me. Yet I had to go 15 years in-between promotions. Complete disgrace.

@cy did I touch a nerve? Truth hurts. I would love for management to pull the work production metrics on the promoted people compare them to the rest of the us. Excluding one of them. The other two would be last on the list. Wait a minute anyone with access to DRAS can pull those metrics. Why don’t we all do that and sit and talk about it?

All im saying is if another team has to tell you what to do non stop and everything you provide is wrong, no way in he-l you should be getting promoted while they get passed over for being forced wfh. Bny is truly disgusting and it gets far worse each day

@cw maybe you shouldn't be lumping them all together. I don't disagree with one of them but as far as the others they're here consistently and have been compliant with RTO since way back when we were made to come back to the office. I also don't think driving 3 hours during your shift is complying with to either but let's not worry about that i guess. Maybe take it up with their boss since you have so much insight

@cg let’s be real they aren’t completing RTO the right way. I’m here everyday and I can tell you I don’t see them. They’re either putting in exemptions or putting in one hour sick time to reduce the days required. They didn’t get their promotion based on work performance. Maybe another type of performance.

@cb For me all cons, the level of work ethic and knowledge in Florida vs NYC is leaps and bounds different. The people I was working with in Florida on OPs and MO were so far behind the teams in NYC. The weather was good in winter but I’m willing to go back to monster snow storms and bad parking than deal with the id--ts in Florida.

Another EC ploy to get people to leave — promotions are laughable and clearly shows the direction this pathetic c rated bank is headed.

The list of people promoted to director was absolutely laughable. Director now at BNY clearly means 0 knowledge and just is a sycophant. Good luck to Florida , I am thankfully done here in 2 weeks and moving back north. Just please if you are in Ops and see the Florida promos to director and the name rhymes with Pephrim you’ll understand why I’m laughing.

Funny how many SNAs struggle to hack that level yet go for and make VPs. Give it a few months, the stress leave will kick in.
