“Unsuccessful domain resolution” everyday. Every single day. I’ve tried everything to prevent this but still, every single day, I must wait 30-40 minutes for it to resolve itself. Everyday I just get a little more angry. Is there anything I can do? — read more

Are we the most toxic bank?
Agree?
New year new layoffs
Concerning?
New year, new priorities
I realized I had to change my priorities if I’m serious about leaving, and trust me, I’m very determined. I’ve decided to stop focusing solely on pay. Now, the culture, atmosphere, and job security are at the top of my list. Pay still matters, but if... — read more
NO EXCUSE!
Is my area expecting up to 12” of snow? Yes. Does my LOB have the capability to WFH? Yes. Did my LOB get the ok to WFH? Absolutely not. All the BS talk on Flagscape about how BofA cares about employees, is a joke. Hopefully those who have to... — read more
Do you like your manager?

H1B - Golden rules for hiring - Save US Citizens

Big layoffs soon?
Heard that from my coworkers.
No place to build the career
Heck, this is no place to work at for longer than 2 to 3 years max. That is, if you even manage to stick around for that long without being laid off, kicked out, outsourced, reorganized, or booted out of your job in some other fashion. Just a short... — read more
Outsourcing everything
The bank has been gradually outsourcing tasks, depts or areas to other countries or national sub servicing companies over the past few years. This is likely a result of their $25 wage decision for 2025. This way they can achieve that goal and pat... — read more
What a mess
Layoffs every few months, endless reshuffling, and goals that don’t make any sense. Management’s mantra is always “do more with less,” but they don’t seem to notice or care how unhappy people are. There’s no future here. If you’re able, start... — read more
No post about 3-day office tracking
I’m surprised no rehearsed post on how many days to be in office this week?
EOY Bonus
I think the fact that we don't get some sort of holiday/Christmas/ end of year bonus is so lame.
Rate my comp
Senior engineer 200K base, total comp 280K. Good or too low?
Leaving was the right choice
I left six months ago, and it was such a relief, but the toll BofA took on me was huge. It took months to get my head and body back on track. BofA is the kind of place that drains you emotionally, mentally, and physically. I didn’t realize how much... — read more
Bonus / Salary / RSUs
So any word on EOY financials?
Promotions?
When do people hear about promotions ?
Business/Operating Hours
When did standard business operating hours become 6a-2p for half the team!? Peers on the east coast are gone for the day by 11a my time. An entire operations / business support team is basically offline by 2p ET everyday! So frustrating and... — read more
Did all of the dealmakers leave?
What happened to BofA in the past 15 years? So much political maneuvering and internal beauracracy. Risk is very not on board with responsible growth. We are losing in every market to JPM and smaller competitors and nothing is changing.
Retirement Calls
Does anyone know why someone from GHR Retirement would be calling? Nowhere near the retirement age or have done any movements with it
Our peer is chaotic too

B3 and have info on layoffs
We have 7 SLTs in our area. The average base cut is 40%. Not looking good for January folks.
Tech issues!
Has anyone noticed some serious technology issues when trying to login? I have to restart my laptop multiple times to connect to the network, the Authenticator app doesn’t register (click approve and it doesn’t connect to sent the approval to my... — read more
When did DEI take over the bank?
How long ago did meritocracy die?
What's the deal with managers?
I’ve been working here for almost seven years, and it’s wild how much things have changed. In the first five years, I had one great manager and a couple of decent ones. But in the last two? It’s been nothing but disasters. Three managers, each worse... — read more
Default Services
Defaults Services had there Q4 All Hands Call today. Once again, CRO recognized a person in management. This makes it 3 out of 4 quarters that someone in management was recognized, instead of a litigation specialist. It is the litigation specialist... — read more
Pay
do you guys think you are fairly paid for your role/band? $25 by 2025 will be completed sometime next year, and I recall that when it was first announced, I wasn't making anywhere near that amount, despite having been with the bank for at least 6... — read more
Severance package
Any thoughts about the severance packages??
Layoffs coming at west lake and simi valley?
With the closure of the simi valley office this coming summer, it looks like layoffs are soon on the cards so they can fit all the people at west lake. Some people don’t want to do the drive to west lake either and you know the bank doesn’t like... — read more
DIsgusted to see the faces of these people who lost their humanity
Unless we forget, at least 70 people were given their notice a few weeks ago and will be let go before Christmas. This is when the media is speaking highly of Bank of America making lots of money next year. When even BM is speaking highly of the... — read more

Badge out
I’ve heard they’ve started rolling out in Jacksonville where you also have to badge out with a minimum 6.5 hours in office for it to count as a day in office. Is there any truth to this?
Bofa has hit a wall and continues to lean upon it
Where it started and where it began is anyones guess. Some will be quick to point fingers, others will keep to themselves. There are no improvements, no plans. Only cutting cost with layoffs and belt tightening in areas which produce results... — read more
BofA has such a strange culture
It feels like everyone’s doing their own thing, and the structure just makes it harder to get stuff done. It’s tough to find teamwork when the whole setup feels like a maze.
