I'm a good employee and I know I'd be missed if I left, but if I approach my boss for a raise I know the answer will be no. I made the mistake of correcting him soon after I joined (I was right, by the way) which apparently put me on his sh-----t... — read more

Too much responsibility
I don’t know how I got caught in that trap in the first place but now I can't figure out how to get out of it. All the time I feel like everything depends on me because my manager acts like I’m responsible for things that shouldn’t be part of my... — read more

I was laid off from a competitor bank in March. I am getting read to apply for a position at BOA but I am not sure about your vaxx policy. Is it still required to be vaccinated for new hire? TIA
I think those who would like to be paid to leave are in majority
I have a lot of complaints, but I still love my job here and I wouldn’t like to lose it. I don't think the grass is much greener anywhere, it just depends on what one's priorities are. On the other hand, I think never (and I’ve been working here... — read more

Why do bosses fall for this?
I get more exhausted from unhealthy collegial relationships than from doing my actual job. It will never be clear to me how a brown-noser manages to take credit for someone else's work and get acknowledgment from manager. Are the managers here just... — read more

So very sick of the daily fire drills and people who can’t do their tasks. Time for a change….yes I should probably leave, but this org needs to be called out for losing so many people. Moods are very negative, not a fun place to work
Reviews - what a waste of time!
I’m so over these mid-year reviews. Don’t have 2 min to p-e, much less write some stupid review. I just go home and stress about not getting it done.. again. Sorry to vent- just wondered if others struggle with this? This comes around twice a year... — read more
Empty suit mofos run this company.
I have been here a while and this company is run by empty suit mofos. These people have no credibility or competence. They are all talk but no action. They have no real plan on the RTO agenda. They are no real leaders here. We are still having high... — read more

401k Comparison Report
I had the pleasure of looking at my dismal 401k this morning and noticed it was down -$41k or -19.2%, how is your doing this year? I’ve reduced my % from 14% to now 5% seeing that it’s just burning money into the red, moved that extra cash flow into... — read more

Salary Negotiation - BAC
Has anyone ultimately been turned down for a new role following salary negotiations where you asked for “too much”? Worst case is you accept less than you hoped for, right or wrong? Or did it backfire?

Until when did competence mean something here?
This is good news for mediocrities, that they can be very comfortable at BofA even though they lack skills. There are still great employees here, but mediocrities are on the rise and employee competencies have not been important for a long time now... — read more
Outlook not good
Think the recession is a problem? Wait until you add on 12 more months of poor management and young inexperienced workers. 5 hour tasks taking 60 because of inefficiency, continued piling up of work, and morale in the gutter. Yikes
I resigned
I know most of you don't care but this is a huge step for me. I will miss my teammates but that's it. I will not miss my as----e manager and I'll miss the bank even less. To those of you who are staying, I wish you all the best and I hope you find a... — read more

Since RTO, how many are still happy to be working here?
The people I talk to are hating their jobs and can't wait to leave. I'm in the same position. WFH changed everything for me. I realized how much I was losing and how little I was gaining by going to the office. For two years, I did my job with a... — read more

Are there any increases in the works for $100k+
Wondering if you have heard of any potential of opening up the 3-7% wage adjustment to the $100k-$250k band? Beginning to look due to COL increasing and my pay didn’t move.
I never say what I mean in surveys

New Hires on Hold
We have several open positions and were just advised we had to stop interviewing and could not fill before the end of the year. What the he-l? We are all doing 2 and 3 jobs to try and get the work done and all of a sudden our funding is pulled?

Anyone else notice it doesn’t seem like the normal constant reminders to participate in the employee engagement survey are as much this year?
