Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

@gt yes give me your phone #

This is deemed as a voluntary resignation by the company. They're lucky they got the 4 weeks because usually that would get you nothing. By design you cannot collect if you quit.. they no longer offer lay offs for a situation like this

@g6 I would love to know more about who you contacted for council and how you went about the process. I'm in my 50 and have been here a long time. I expect to be in this position sooner or later, and all I want is my 52 weeks. I think I've earned that. No negative reviews ever. No violations of RTO ever. But the only "protected" class I could possibly be a part of is age.

@g6 anyway you can refer me to your lawyer? Been there for 15 + years and they just pulled the same situation on me as well.

Their policy states 2 weeks per year worked there but normally they try to give only a couple months. I speak from experience. Long term former employee. They offered me 3 months. I did not sign, engaged an attorney and they ended up paying me for a year. Did not go to court and they didn’t fight hard given most of BNYs internal counsel let go as well. If RTO violation or something of that nature they can probably get away with firing for cause but that was not the case with me. Their bogus ‘performance’ reviews not technically illegal either although would look bad if ever litigated. As I’ve learned, need to pursue ‘protected class’ type of issue - age, race, s-x, retaliation, etc. all of which is illegal and will result in them quickly writing a check. No need for hard evidence. They cave quickly.

Likely since they declined to relocate HR classed them as terminated for cause (the cause being not reporting to work in location assigned to them). So not really the layoff/severance situation that gives you 2 weeks per year served up to maximum. Su-ks, but this is how BNY is keeping the share price up by sc--wing over long time employees.

Knew someone who was here 12 years and cut last year. They got one week per year.

I got laid off in 2020, after only working for a year and I got 3 months bro.

It sounds more like they were marker below, paid during the notice period which is 30 days but kept in total as an employee for 60 days

No i know people who got 2 weeks for each year of service.
