It's time. Long overdue.
What is your excuse?
Happiness is a choice. Someone's choice is to be a long term sufferer here, while someone else prioritizes looking for a new job and goes where he or she thinks will be better off. I thought I wouldn't find a job for a long time, but I managed to... — read more

COVID Side Effects Are Great
Meaning, since I've been working from home the last 2 years I've seen my son every morning before he heads to school. I also see him when he gets home from school every day. I've reconnected with my wife of 20+ years. I think this was the reset... — read more
Don't jump at the first opportunity that presents itself
I know a few people who did and who are not too happy about it now. You still have a job, as unpleasant as it might be. Start looking for new opportunities without rushing into anything. Compare what's available, talk to people who work in those... — read more
Can we agree to disagree on RTO?
Deciding the conditions/environment you would be in for about 10 hours of your day (including commute), almost 260 days a year seems like a pretty big deal. Yes, we have worked at an office before. But times change, now after spending time working... — read more
Workplace conditions abysmal. This can't be legal
A single employee gets exposed at one of the centers in our market, and that center closes down immediately. My location? Never. 4 members of our team in the past week have gone out and we are still open. SOACC has not followed up with me like they... — read more
RTO is becoming the biggest problem here it seems
Learned helplessness is a pretty serious thing. People just complain and complain and it becomes annoying to listen to. I understand all the complains concerning other things. I have a lot of them too, but RTO is not one of them. Suddenly everyone... — read more
WFH = lower pay
I know many are looking for remote jobs right now, but be prepared to settle for lower pay if you're determined to do it. Companies that are offering remote work and currently leveraging that to reduce their usual offers knowing that many people are... — read more
I'm not surprised by the type of people who're being promoted
Management will always choose to promote those who will protect them and side with them in any situation with little to no resistance - so seeing all these yes-men get promoted is no surprise. I'm not saying this is right, on the contrary, but it's... — read more
Bank wants to only hire from India
We have had a number of open positions but not allowed to hire. Interview after interview for business analysts not even programmers and the hiring mgr (from India) wants to say there is no qualified candidates. I can assure you that everyone is... — read more
BofA made political donations to election deniers
After all their PR the bank through the American Bankers association which it plays a part in made political donations to at least 2 election deniers. Classic. I bet some of the people on here will be thrilled though... — read more
They want to keep us guessing
Are they planning to keep us guessing each week if we'll be going back to the office instead of pushing the return date down by a month or two at least, like the majority of other banks and businesses? Do they really think things will improve within... — read more

People sent home to WFH till At least Jan 10th

Unrealistic workload
It’s a thin line between "I’m working hard" and "I’m overloaded with unrealistic amount work". I know a few people who complain about the unrealistic amount of work, but in reality they are just very lazy. I wonder how you make the distinction... — read more
Why would anybody want to return?
I see some people are applying after being shown the door and I have to ask, why? If I was able to get away with severance, I'd run and never look back. Why somebody would willingly return into this toxic cesspool - especially with so many jobs... — read more
Northeast branches are getting slammed with severe covid outbreak . Many are understaffed and temporarily closed. Bank of America must delay RTO

Who are the favorite ones?
I have a colleague who, as soon as I came here, drew my attention to the fact that favoritism is in full swing here. I also see on this forum that favoritism is mentioned a lot and that it is difficult to achieve much for those who are not among... — read more

We need to share salaries
And where better but here where it's completely anonymous? thoughts? This is about protecting ourselves.
They're doing this on purpose
The culture at BofA continues to suffer as the management continues to focus on streamlining operations and making as many employees as possible replaceable. We're no longer encouraged to work with each other but against each other to make sure we're... — read more
Is prorated bonus a thing at Bofa?

Workaholism becomes a lifestyle for many?
Yesterday I stopped, took a deep breath and admitted to myself that I had become a person I never wanted to become. In order to squeeze people out as much as possible, bofa promotes unhealthy workaholism which is becoming a lifestyle for many. That's... — read more
No more WFH
Just got word from my manager that EVERYONE needs to report in the office. Thy will will run a report to ensure that everyone is coming into the office. We are grown adults, they are treating us like children. We have successfully worked from home... — read more
"Thank you..."
Really feels genuine (not) for SLT to create a presentation and say "thank you" as you can see them reading what they need to say. Nice fail, much like employee survey and everything else that appears to be associate focuses.
We all need a long vacation
After the year we've had, every single one of us needs at least a few weeks off to recuperate and recharge our batteries - and BofA should pay for it! This year was brutal for so many reasons and I feel more exhausted right now than I have in a long... — read more

BofA Branch Closing List (2022)
My list, about 100+ branches that closed - add more if you know about a BofA location that closed but is not listed. The list is not complete, I am sure there many more branches that should be added. The old closure thread went nowhere @OP+ZjeBmwx or... — read more
Why am I even still here?
I guess it's true what they say, Christmas is a time for reflection. And the one thing I keep coming back to is how unhappy I am with my job. I'm a 48-year-old man who dreads his work. There are many reasons for it and I won't bore you with them... — read more
Will we push our return to office back too now that Wells Fargo has?
Is there any hope for us? Wells has pushed theirs back yesterday. Dec 21, 2021, 4:52pm EST Wells Fargo on Tuesday postponed its return-to-office plans indefinitely amid the surge in the Omicron variant of Covid-19. The bank told employees it will... — read more
I'm not trying to get promoted anymore
I gave up. It's not worth trying anymore. I just became more more disappointed and exhausted, pretty much on the verge of burnout. Obviously I am not one of the favorites who get promoted without much effort. After how long did you give up trying... — read more
Let's enjoy some positivity ahead of Christmas
Tell us something good related to your job that happened in the last year. All we hear about - rightfully - are the bad things, let's change that just for a moment.
People need to get informed before joining BofA
I wish more people would do an in-depth search of Bank of America before joining. I've looked around, and most places recommend working here as a great place with a great culture. People see that and join and within a few months, they realize they... — read more
Three managers in 18 months
Is this normal? I've been at Bank of America for a little over 18 months and in that time I've had three managers. I used to work in a smaller regional bank and I had the same manager for the four years I was there, so this seems very unusual to me... — read more
Nepotism
Is there a competition going on here on who can hire more relatives and/or friends? Not only hire but bring in to fill the positions that should have been filled internally through promotions. It's ridiculous what's allowed to happen here in this day... — read more
Training is very bad
I would love to stay here for a while longer. However, the training for new employees is very disappointing. At first I thought it was normal, everyone needs to work hard to become acclimated to a new job. However, it is becoming increasingly clear... — read more
