BAC joining world leaders to address climate change but wants workers to go back to office full-time. Is it for a show only? I understand concern for businesses like restaurants, gas stations etc. affected by pandemic. The bank could have adopted... — read more 

Do B4s make more than $200k in base salary in tech? What does a typical B3 get in base salary?

I see so many people complaining about their workload being unmanageable. In reality, you're the ones who are allowing it to happen. If you keep doing everything that's been added to your plate without complaining or changing something (like dropping... — read more 

Do you think there may be small/medium/large Bank of America layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Not to mention the fact that they should’ve implemented a real plan for hybrid/wfh. But now all the vaccinated people are all forced back in. Europe is surging right now, we are always behind them in rates, have we not learned this by now? It’s only... — read more 

Gonna be a big payday.

Very confused.

And yet I love to watch this implosion up close. Calls people just sound defeated, disinterested. In technology, people that love to innovate and build have been beaten down with an audit and governance stick. Also, alot of people in technology... — read more 

Then they wonder why most of the client-facing changes end up being a resounding failure.

Mortgage area desperately needs Fulfillment and Underwriters, current hiring mandate of 200+. Cannot fill these roles. Applicants are declining by the dozens daily due to no WFH / no Hybrid options at BAC. The same reason is being given over and... — read more 

Any managers in here that have entered bonus numbers yet? Curious what the YOY change was in bonus pool. Please list your general area too as I think different areas have different targets. Personally interested in GT&O numbers

Has anyone that just updated their info for the November deadline gotten a return to office date yet? I filled mine out that I’m fully vaccinated. I keep wondering when I will get the email to come back in. If anyone has any ideas please share... — read more 

Those who think that BofA will ever hear the voice of employees, that they will pay attention to our wishes and complaints - I think live in illusion. I don’t remember ever anything being done primarily for the benefit of employees? We are... — read more 

What area is the most inefficient and cost drag on BAC. Again, no RTO/Vax feedback, enough already with that

RTO or WFH, vaccine or no vaccine, covid, all the other fighting... I want the situation to go back to normal whatever the outcome. I want to know what is and what isn't happening and move on. I miss the days when layoffs were the only thing we had... — read more

I honestly thought things would change after the pandemic. The work from home makes so much sense and it was proven that it increases productivity while reducing costs (no need for as much office space.) I thought for sure the majority of companies... — read more 

Sharing a personal anecdote...After 12 years, I finally got to send out my paying goodbye to colleagues across the enterprise. Well wishes from 60% and phone calls from a handful, texts from a few along with some LinkedIn connections. Surprisingly... — read more 

Looks like RTO is going to ramp up in 2022. What are your thoughts?

Someone has already asked in one of the posts but there was no answer, so since I am interested too, I am opening a new thread: Does anyone know what will happen to those who got two doses a long time ago (almost half a year ago), but still would not... — read more

Anybody else have PTSD just from hearing the word BACI? I've been at BAC too long and have been conditioned that BACI instantly makes me hate life and why I ever went into technology. Taking over a BACI app in production...when you lift the hood... — read more 

I will understand if I get downvotes, but I do not agree with some who say that the bank sets unrealistic expectations. Maybe they didn’t work at the bank I used to work for so they could see what the unrealistic goals really were. On the other... — read more 

Is there a notice period to retire under the rule of 60? Will a bonus be paid if one retires at the end of the year?

They really seem to have trouble filling new roles. Admittedly, they may not be in a hurry to fill some roles but they are very likely to have a lot of trouble doing so. It is difficult to find a good and cheap employee who will be ready to... — read more 

Anybody in the know hear about pending layoffs? Kinda hoping to hold off for layoff rather than resign

Anybody in dev here find the BAC HVDs and laptops pitiful for development? With all the BAC Spyware and controls installed, and the weak machines to start with...dev is super painful and slow.

Doesn’t seem to be anyway to escape the vaxx mandates. Headlines to look grim for everyone.

Any HR peeps on here know?

I think there are very few of us who really like working here. I am almost certain that at this moment at BofA the majority of people want to go and are planning an exit strategy. There are many who took the vaccine just to give themselves a little... — read more 

Everyone that I actually speak to in real life would prefer a hybrid scenario.

Hearing rumors of lots of pressure up the chain. Anyone have any real insight?

This whole thing is absurd. Why are we being forced back in when 1) employees are happier working from home 2) employees work longer hours and take less sick days 3) there is still an ongoing PANDEMIC and the vaccines’ effectiveness have not shown to... — read more

Management is truly unaware of how many people are unhappy here (and I'm not talking about the mandate or any of that cr-p) and willing to walk away if they find a better option. One of our best employees quit two weeks ago and our manager has been... — read more
