I’m seeing some comments here that medical accommodations have become more difficult to get. I have one (permanent) in place from 2017 which was not difficult to get (mainly because my Dr. knows the law and is well respected). Now 6 years later my... — read more 

Learned something new that might interest some: Employers sometimes think they’re fine to request more medical information than they’re entitled to when it comes to accommodations. Employers need only enough info from you or your doctor to show (1)... — read more 

Anyone else have experience with this LOB? Externally, it seemed pretty good. Internally, it's a toxic culture wasteland. The expectations are inexplicable, unrealistic. You're expected to be perfect at all times, put work above all else, and never... — read more 

Why are RTO rules not same for everyone. Personally, i know so many people who are not even going 3d/w. What is HR doing about that?

Have yet to see any layoffs but people are quitting left and right. The issue, is that many of these are the performers who have left. The socialites of the office think that by coercing out top performers or making them look bad will pay off... — read more 

Hearing rumors in office. Truth?

I just wish I had the courage to go through with it.

So many people have complained about the Jacksonville office and the new open floor plan being miserable and uncomfortable due to the high glare/lights in your peripheral vision, and the freezing temperatures in the office causing folks to have to... — read more 

So how do layoffs usually work at BoA? Does the manager actually have any say in it or is it more of an HR pulling names out of a hat or doing some cost basis analysis of individuals or checking off D&I and other numbers and stuff?

Would be great if there was a manager ranging site. Simply publish the name and give a thumbs up or thumbs down. Similar to how we do associate ranking, but in reverse.

There's one positive thing that's come out of this shitshow that we call BofA - I'm finally feeling motivated to look for a new job. I also know that's true for many more employees who were putting off job search in the hope of better times changing... — read more

Was told we have to come back in the office although we haven't received an enact call saying the buikding was open. Can they do that?

Has anyone been a subject of reassessment recently? The manager tells you your position is eliminated and you can apply for a lesser job, a lower band as the only option. According to WSJ it’s a trick/strategy to make you quit or pay you less... — read more

I find it funny that this group was so underwhelmed by the response to the employee survey that no one even posted about it. Can we all just agree to not take it next year since taking it is all they care about?
