According to my local new station WJXT (here I go putting another target on my back for management) Amazon said Monday "it will allow many tech and corporate workers to continue working remotely indefinitely, as long as they can commute to the office... — read more
I have to ask
Why do people use "people are only doing their jobs for a paycheck" as some kind of an indicator that things are getting bad or worse? People doing their jobs just for a paycheck is how things are supposed to work. What else would you be doing it... — read more
BofA has one of the most aggressive RTO policies out there.
Nearly all the major tech and fin companies have come out supporting remote and hybrid. These BofA execs singing "we are an office company" is going to be the biggest joke of the century... What the F does that even mean? We went back to the office... — read more
How can anyone focus on business and getting back to “normal” when we are constantly inundated with misinformation on everything?
It’s truly mind boggling. We are doomed no matter what. How can anyone stay focused to get their work done? Seriously? How do you stay focused? Everyday the narrative changes, goal posts are moved. People don’t know if they are coming or going. — read more
I don't know of anybody who has left in the last several month
With all the talk of attrition and quitting over RTO or vaccines, you'd think I'd be hearing about people who have walked out every day. That has not been happening, though. I don't know of a single person who has left in the last few months, or even... — read more
A question for those who train new hires
Where do you find time for that? I would love to train new hires but I am so overwhelmed with work that I really wouldn’t have any time for it.
"Focusing on your health and wellness"...by pushing you to RTO in the mids of a pandemic
This is just one of the many ways they will try to push use in the RTO corner...by taking away wellness credits. I'm so tired of the sad narrative being pushed. The way it's phrased like they give a rats azz about us. So tired of these tone def... — read more
How tempting is BofA for younger generations of employees?
What I have noticed while training some younger employees is that everyone who is really very talented is staying here shorter and shorter. They quickly realize that this is not a place for the talented. A person who had only been here for a month... — read more
Cap1 delays RTO(hybrid) until SOMETIME in 2022...and BOFA doesnt care about us!
Main RTO plans article https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/richmond/plans-for-capital-one-employees-to-return-to-office-work-in-november-postponed-likely-return-is-sometime-in-2022/ very interesting article as well on their culture and how they... — read more
And the unmotivated keep being rewarded!
Glad to see the bank once again reward the associates at the bottom with yet another pay raise, who are opting not to better themselves on their own by getting educated and apply for better paying jobs. The ones that have, well you get nothing again. — read more
Morale is probably at an all time low
I can feel it in the air...teams are just so unmotivated and just doing it for paycheck till next job rolls around till they get the package till they retire the horrible comp last year, the RTO strategy that nearly everyone is against (and... — read more

Reasons against RTO
What is your reason against RTO? The biggest reason I would never go back there is the atmosphere. Another reason is that it opens up a greater chance of catching the virus. The third reason is that I could save more by working at home. .. — read more
Best jobs are in the public sector
The system is rigged, in the long run you get scalped. Best jobs are in the public sector, they get the best perks, are unionized, have pension plans, excellent health benefits, get periodic raises and hardly susceptible to any layoffs. The term... — read more
Need for boosters
I had the Pfizer vaccines earlier in the spring but I’m not in the vaccine status portal. Now they are saying the Pfizer is effective for 6 months. If I have to provide my vaccine status and RTO in January, how does the need for boosters factor in?... — read more
lack of training...
We hire so many people and fail to train them properly. I find it that the SMEs are so overwhelmed that they do not train new hires properly. We end up with swaths of people that do not know what they are doing and the Bank is ok with that. It has... — read more
So "Look"....I'm an Italian Cuaron
Great question, glad you asked....so "Look", its all about the optics. and "Look", love that question. Thank you Rest of call: ummm...what did you just say?
Tell them status or pay
So if you want your full medical plan discount you will now have to give them your vaccine status by 12/31/21. So much for privacy. Why bother to get the wellness exam? They aren’t even giving us until February like the wellness exam either! While... — read more
To those that say this forum is moderated for on topic posts only
There was a complaint post up just a few minutes ago, someone said something about not liking working here. It was a bit of a rant, I guess, and it had two replies. That is on topic -- its related to working here. Complaining, while sucks, is... — read more
Learn to budget
Stop spending above your means and you won't be that worried about losing your job for whatever reason. Having a safety net is much more important than that new big-screen 8k TV which you really don't need. I hear so many coworkers complaining about... — read more
I've grown to hate Mondays
I'd rather wrestle alligators than go to work tomorrow morning. I'm not exaggerating, the very thought of it makes me want to pu-e. Before somebody completely unhelpful tells me to either shut up or leave, I'm trying. No luck so far but I have no... — read more
If they’re not leaving physically, they’re leaving emotionally or cognitively
Very true for nearly 90% that where forced to return to office from my observation. When will BofA get it....what a weak minded untrustworthy leadership we have. https://time.com/6097258/covid-return-to-office/
Hey….a big company, PWC is allowing all employees to work remotely!
If you want a WFH job, apply there.
BOA leaves a lasting mark on you
I was laid off a little over six months ago. I tried to let go of all the animosity I feel toward BOA and its management for the way I was treated after spending 13 years there but it's not working. There is still this feeling of hate I get every... — read more
Put more energy into looking for a new job or improving performance?
Ever since I saw how easily they got rid of my colleague - and very unfairly - I immediately started looking for a new job. Honestly, I always thought he was a better employee than I was. Worrying ahead of time whether BoA will get rid of me so... — read more
BOA knew the #s would lie for them
"UNFORTUNATELY, MANY STATES ARE LIMITING OR STOPPING PUBLIC REPORTING OF VITAL DATA, A MOVE THAT WILL LIMIT THE NATION'S ABILITY TO ANTICIPATE DISEASE SPREAD. GOVERNMENTS OF ALL SIZES—LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL—NEED TO CONTINUE THEIR DAILY DATA... — read more
Hospitals deter visits to Emergency Room / BofA crams employees back in sites
We need a CEO with a spine that is not involved with politics
Covid popping up at all BOA Centers
imposed contact tracing is less than helping Covid and variant swarm staff onsite
So I guess you can’t just talk about just anything here….if they no like, they archive or delete
Nice.
Be ready
The "Nothing" is coming. Way easier to lay people off remotely. The layoffs will be across the board. Plan accordingly. Has little to do with vax status, even if they use it. They're reducing costs. Pro tip: Dust off that resume and start looking... — read more
Results are in...
On all hand, employee satisfaction for the bank is 90%... so if you ever wonder whether these are legit, now you know the answer, NO.
Unvaccinated increase in health premiums
Did anyone else notice that if you don’t get vaccinated and report it to the bank that you’re going to not be eligible for the $500 premium credit and you will also lose a $500 HSA credit from the bank? You will also be required to have your spouses... — read more
BOA needs to restructure their whole company because of this pandemic.
BOA must move forward in a new direction in doing business with the current pandemic we are in at this time. They need to realize the old way of employees going to work is over. They must come up with a safe way for our employees. CEO MOnyROnyhaN... — read more
For the vaccinated….will you get your required booster shots ever 6 months….
Or whenever they tell you to? This is the future….booster shots…or lose your vaccinated status. When does the insanity end?
Advantages of RTO
No, I don’t work in management, but I can’t wait to get back to the office for two reasons: I will work less (ever since I started working from home, I work a lot more) I will leave this place much quicker (because when I feel that... — read more
To the prior post - This is why
Scott Gottlieb told CNN's Pamela Brown that he doesn't think the surge of the Delta variant of Covid-19 has run it's course in the US.- being in the office at this time is not ethical. Not that you portrayed ethics in your comment.
