This company doesn't give a rats azz if you get vaccinated or not. They feel it will continue with you or without you. They know they will lose talent but the show must go on in their eyes. They will continue to bring in foreigners to take your job... — read more
Do you manage to concentrate on work?
I'm used to working under pressure, but what is happening now demoralizes me so much that I can barely finish the job. Maybe it's because I had high expectations that the situation would improve, but at BofA it's getting more chaotic every day... — read more
Retention Bonus
Just got offer $60k to stay 2 years, payable half next year and rest year after that. Different from annual bonus. I'm hearing annual bonuses will be less, can anyone confirm what the are seeing in terms of how it's being distributed?
JUST NOT GOOD
The Vaccine status tool is not only for the vaccinated. The bank wants all statuses. Vaccinated, unvaccinated, or partially vaccinated. I've heard diff scenarios, one being placing all vaccinated in a separate building like a leper colony. I will... — read more
Latest on VAX tracker requirements
Who has the latest on reporting, emails, and consequences for not filling out the Vax tracker please?
This is just a vax propaganda board
with a single troll posting threats over and over. nothing to do with a layoff message board.

Keep fighting for hybrid!!!
Granted not a well known site but still, It’s starting to making news. Keep it up. Keep raising it up to everyone and anyone. If they want to retain talent, this will be a must... — read more
So close.....
The only thing more painful than working for Bank of America, is the final stages of a job app. I've been told that I am to expect an offer and preliminary numbers are good. What would crush me, is for this opportunity to vaporize and I'm back at... — read more
Farewell!
Finally received an offer with a remote friendly atmosphere. 38% raise and benefits that blow away what I had at BofA!! I've spent 14 years here without even trying to leave. With all the cr-p lately and lies about "we care about our employees" when... — read more
Report status on Nov 1st, go back to office when?
For the HR rep who posted here, once the vaxxed submit their status on November 1st, when will they be called into the office?
C19 = Cover Story for Bank Bailouts
Fate is a funny thing. BM and other CEO's had to amp up the C19 fear in order to get $ printed to bailout their banks, but then sent all employees to WFH and now cannot find a way to get them RTO. Hilarious.
Bonus Pool
Anybody in the know with respect to bonus pools? What is the distribution looking like so far...same song and dance that to reward others, you have to rob from existing?
Citibank wants you
We allow work from home and want you to join our team. We are a forward thinking company, allowing associates to work from home gives us an edge over our rivals in recruiting talent. Join us.
WFH has to be an option now that CDC has said a 4th, yes FOURTH, booster is recommended
How is the bank going to know when employees’ vaccines have expired since everyone genome got vaccinated did so at different times ? How will vaccinated be safe if some don’t get booster shot? What a sh1t show. We are not safe and must have WFH... — read more
Dealing With Long Hours and Burn-out
How do you deal with long hours? My current day runs about 8 am to 7/7:30-ish pm and I eat and then watch some tv and go to bed. My weekends consist of chores and resting because I’m so burnt out and behind. Are there people who make this way of... — read more
The ideal worker according to BofA standards
What would you say, what kind of worker is that? All I know is that I'm not one of them. Since I do my job the best I can, but I don’t allow myself to be squeezed, I don’t think I’ll ever be their ideal employee.
MIT expert on work says any boss who thinks employees will return to offices is dreaming

What about the vaccinated who just don’t come in?
So we all know there are people who are vaccinated and who also have uploaded their information on flagscape. But they decided to ignore the 30 day notice to RTO. Does the bank even know they are not in the office? Guess they can look at vpn but that... — read more
Do you feel like you are in a dead end career path at BofA?
Unless you are a subject matter expert in a product or a really good developer versed in the latest tech...this place is a dead end. I work as a program manager and we claim to do agile but we don't. It's a mixed bag of junk and throwing sheeet on... — read more
Lazy Management / Babysitters
I’ve been with BofA 6 years. GTO. Never seen them let any FTE go, just use attrition as convenience for cuts. Generally people show up at the office at 10, stay until 4 pm, and take 1.5 to 2 hour lunch breaks. Some people work hard and get noticed... — read more
My whole team is checked out..GBAM tech
No one cares anymore. We lost 2 people to Microsoft this week. Team was 10 people before covid and now we are 4. They haven't filled any positions...no one wants to take the horrible compensation and poor technology. Our big project has no program... — read more
Bank of India!
80% of the audience on my calls is Indian. While I have nothing against them... it's a bank policy problem...they preach D&I but don't really go after African Americans or Hispanics. When in doubt stick an Indian as D&I. When an Indian becomes a... — read more
Be warned Trolls are spamming this site (pro RTO)
Ever since the announcement of the mandatory status on vaccine they have showed up in great numbers spamming this forum and down voting anything from wfh or against RTO. Can only be paid bank shills. That alleged "leak" of the PowerPoint with Nov... — read more
Has BofA lost sight of the competition?
It seems to me that leadership used to be much more concerned about what the competition was doing. I remember a long time ago when my colleague wanted to leave BofA did everything to keep him. It was important to keep the best employees here. Now... — read more
If you think its stressful now….
Just wait until 2022.
Bonus Payout
If the bonus payout is for the calendar year performance period (Jan 1 - Dec 31 2021), and lets say you leave or retire after Jan 1, 2022. Are you still entitled to your performance bonus?
Stop Saying I Signed Up To Work From An Office
I didn't. I was hired, and I agreed, to fill a position with the bank. Ever see the bank close a campus and move the associates to a different campus? Surely you pro RTO's weren't saying "you cant do that because we signed up to work from xyz... — read more
Layoff process
How do layoffs work at BofA? I'm most curious about how you are informed and if there is any room to negotiate the package. I'm assuming the weeks you'll receive are set in stone, but is there any way to negotiate the medical coverage and how long it... — read more
When the return occurs
Honest post. Vaccinated are not showing up. Maybe a few actually show up. The bank wants everyone to return but people sit three feet apart in many offices. They don’t require masks at desk either. So let’s say start of 2022 big push and people show... — read more
Enough of the doom & gloom
Many people are fully vaccinated and happy about RTO. Seems the unvaccinated are the ones complaining about everything. They need to just deal with it or move on. If they hate BoA so much WHY do they stay? They are toxic to work with, always... — read more
Whoever wants to RTO and get infected is welcome to do so
Don’t force your ideologies on everyone else. You’re no better than mini-nazis. It’s a pandemic, not a long-a-s Disney movie that ya’ll are so sick of. Want to get sick, infect your parents, get your kids sick or shove them off a cliff, go right... — read more
Just ignore 11/1 deadline
It's another scare tactic. BM will eventually come out publicly, like Southwest Airlines, and admit he won't be firing anyone, no matter their jab status. 11/1 is another moved goalpost, you should be able to see how this works by now. If not... — read more
Traders Are Overpaid
If traders are good, why they are not in buyside earn big bucks? If they are not, why do they get paid so much?
Lack of Diversity in Global Markets Promotion
New York Times and Bloomberg were right. Promotion in global markets are just based on favoritism. White male get promoted faster because of their relationship with senior management. Diversity is a huge issue in global markets promotion.
FIRE THOSE MANAGING DIRECTORS JUST TALK DON’T WORK
Too many managing directors in GBAM just talk don’t do work. They are hurting upward mobility for top performing directors
Constructive use of this Portal
It would be ideal if we could actually use this portal as a way to organize collective opposition to BofA executive directives… I.e. Demanding flexibility with where we can work… Demanding wage increases consistent with productivity and inflation. ... — read more
Warning: Trolls out in full force after the RTO message
They are spamming every threat and spreading fear...threating people about not returning to the office, dismissing concerns. I dont see any happy office guy just spending their days here. Paid trolls?
Next Steps
So what's gonna happen after 11/1? For those who're fully vaccinated, they will probably get their 30-day notice. What about those who're partially or not vaccinated? They said it's required to disclose but didn't say, at least not yet, it's required... — read more
