Many companies are pushing back.. clearly we are just a number to this bank. They don't care about us.

Anyone notice the photos on flagascape with all the people awkwardly posing for photos in the office pretending to be excited. There is even one where a guy is wearing a "We're back hat" wonder if he would get fired if he didn't wear that hat. Of... —  read more 

I see a lot of posts around people mad about having to return to office. What about those of us having do eight times the amount of work because we can’t replace those who are work from home and are being forced to reopen centers with not even close... —  read more 

Layoff time…

All recent hires have either been internal or run of the mill if no one internal wants it. They tried to create fake states to lower the attrition rates... Yes... seems like they are trying to mask the attrition problems. I think it is in vain... —  read more

Old mentality - it's almost synonymous with BofA. I wonder why? Are those at the top actually afraid of changes or do they just not want it? I can’t believe they don’t see how much BofA is stuck in the past and don’t know that the new times require... —  read more 

Efficacy of vaccinations have been proven to wane. Israel says that protection can get to as low as 16%, and currently the numbers sit around 39%. The CDC changed their mask and testing guidance because of the reports that came out following the 800+... —  read more 

Hope so. Thoughts?

I have been reading and watcging companies getting frustrated with Covid and making the vaccine a requirement to keep your job. I know we are huge, but after listening to BM and other executives it seems possible. What are your thoughts?

I heard today in a meeting that they are looking to get rid of MyWork entirely. If you do not come in to the office you have 2 choices 1- Come In 2-Leave This is all new development in a senior meeting I was in. While the world goes towards flex... —  read more

I told my manager I quit because of the Bank's RTO policy. He tried to say they can accommodate, but line HR mgrs are putting a pad lock on that process now and heavy scrutiny for people that have it or will be renewing. Looks like they went downhill... —  read more 

With cases increasing everywhere and delta affecting even vaccinated folks, will BOA change their tune on RTO? What a mess they are asking everyone to go back at the beginning of cold and flu season while covid is starting to rage again. I’m hoping... —  read more 

Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks BofA is going backwards instead of going forward? Unfortunately, in every possible segment. No wonder no one with skills wants to stay here anymore. Management does not want to accept its mistakes.

It happened that I regretted leaving the company I used to work for and coming to BofA. Now I want to get out of here and the stories of the people who left are mostly very positive. Still, I find it hard to believe that no one really regretted... —  read more 

However in the US...where employees come second...it's alive an well. Pathetic that they are creating this bias. I will never report my status to this bank.

If you have an issue with RTO, there are plenty of available jobs in banking and in many other fields that have gone fully remote since the pandemic and plan to stay that way. Everybody is hiring. This is one of the rare situations where you have no... —  read more

I absolutely agree with someone who wrote that it is naive to expect that going back to the office means saving your job. That is just my opinion, but it is very clear to me that BofA has decided to get rid of people and it will do it regardless of... —  read more 

Does anyone know if there are any benefit increases from band level 5 to 4 (vacation etc)?

BofA has been working overtime to get me to quit. This latest RTO is just the latest in the long line of things that have proven how disconnected this management is from its employees. Either that or this is intentional and I'm playing into their... —  read more 

I heard through the grapevine yesterday that there was a small RIF in GTO. Anyone have an idea of head count? That would be nicer than waiting for our resignations.

I thought the RTO was a way to reduce headcount. After hearing BM speak about it, I'm almost convinced he's just a dinosaur who distrusts technology solutions. I wouldn't be surprised to find a real paper rolodex on his desk.

All the tech companies have their own internal social network. I doubt anything useful or open inflagscape for us to do the same to voice our concerns and needs about WFH. They want to shut our word down and keep us quiet...

BOA is just trying to get employees to quit or resign by asking them to return from WFH. This is what it's all about. The CEO and his posse know full well how many employees have realized that WFH is not something they're willing to give up, be... —  read more
