Bring your child to work fiasco

Today we were allowed to bring our kids to the office in Lake Mary
Total fiasco, no one did.
Who would bring a kid to this he-l? Lol
It really worries me how clueless these people are.

BNY’s Bring‑Your‑Child‑To‑Work Day was adorable—right up until the kids asked why Mommy and Daddy aren’t work from home anymore. Hard to explain that ‘showing up every day’ isn’t magic, it’s RTO compliance with a side of badge‑swipes. The little ones wandered around asking if BNY was ‘fun and games,’ and honestly, the adults had the same question. Nothing like watching children marvel at the office while their parents quietly calculate badge swipes and how many AI agents are being trained to replace them. Fresh eyes, indeed. Kids see the truth: it’s not a playground. It’s a museum of jobs that used to exist.

BNY Pittsburgh alumnus here. For 2024, the department I worked in promoted "BNY bring your child to work day." When the day arrived, our leadership said we were a information sensitive area and asked the parent(s) and children to leave the office.

Ultimately, staff members that brought children to work were able to chaperone their kids to the various BNY activities that were throughout the campus and other departments.

It was interesting to witness poor communication and last minute decision making first-hand.

BNY = Joke of a company.

It was a joke. Employees couldn’t use the full cafe because the protector of the cafe would boot them if they tried to get food set up only for the kids. Then they were indoctrinating the kids with the AI Photo Booth. Sick company.

Funny, imagine if your kid opens their mouth and says this is where my mommy’s soul dies..

Fake News. The cafeteria was packed with kids/families at lunch time.

Great measurement for employee engagement.

Bringing a child into this dangerous, ugly, toxic, unhealthy environment is both child abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.
No one should ever bring anyone under the age of 18 here.
This place is actually equally dangerous to anyone talented, over 35 with a family and bills too.

If the event counts interns and analysts, then they're already here. I think they were building Legos and playing games on their cell phones or something.

I bet they thought it was going to be a huge success, there is only trash food today at the restaurant, pizza, hot dogs, hamburguers.
Clueless indeed, you don’t bring your kid to a place in which you are constantly harassed, under poor management and always on the verge of being let go.
