I'd advise everybody to start looking for a new job and leave as soon as they can. There is no winning here. Before I'd usually advise everybody to not make any rash decisions and wait for a possible severance, but now staying means risking our... — read more
Wtf do you expect to happen, Bank is adding to the problem
US records 1.1 million pediatric cases over past 5 weeks The average number of deaths per day has risen to more than 1,500.
All the leadership Changes...where is this going?
today Reilly and Simpson gone. What does all of this mean? When is BM going? I feel like nothing changes if branches are cut but the tree is still standing.
Do NOT forget this when the survey comes out
Sick of seeing BOA being a great place. If this ridiculous return does not stop several lives will be on the Banks hands.
Reilly out
He didn’t even last a year before jumping ship
Breakthrough Covid - Firsthand
I’m recovering from a “mild” breakthrough case of Covid. I’m healthy and have no pre-existing conditions. I see comments on this site minimizing breakthrough cases, and it’s obvious y’all don’t know what you’re talking about. Even though I was not... — read more
Has anyone gotten a medical accommodation approved?
I am immunocompromised due to medication and am considered high risk for severe covid (even vaccinated) and don’t go anywhere indoors. I don’t see family indoors, even vaccinated/masked. Has anyone gone through the medical accommodations team and... — read more
Getting stress leave approved
How hard is it, really? Did anybody here have luck with it at any point? What did it take?
I pivoted from fearing layoffs to praying for one
I can't afford to quit or be fired but the whole RTO issue has me praying to be laid off. I can't believe that just months ago I was petrified of that possibility and now I see it as the best-case scenario for my future. That should be enough to tell... — read more
Why was that thread removed?
Someone posted about layoff / mandatory unpaid leave due to being unvaccinated. Do we know what the bank is for sure going to do? I had it open but now it's gone. This forum is removing things that don't align to the mainstream BS, what the heck... — read more
First Week Oberservations DIY WFH Hybrid happening.
During week one of back to the office in Charlotte I noticed folks there a few days a week and the rest of the time WFH, folks there during the AM and then leaving early and working the rest of the day from home. It was almost like a Do your own... — read more
Another day wondering if I will contract Covid or the Variant tomorrow
Thank you big bank for the hours of loss sleep, the inability to focus on my work. Thank you for the blanket of safety you removed from my everyday. I hope the gains are worth the loss of trust. No CDC protocol is in place. No social distancing. The... — read more
Having to commute again…
When the time comes when we are forced to work from the office again… I have been thinking about counting the majority of my commute time as part of the work day, given I would be working from home during this time spent on the train or in the car... — read more
Executives are Cutthroats & Sl--e-ba--s! without ba--s
Bank of American is nothing but a cutthroat company with cutthroat executives & managers! They are notorious for gaslighting employees! They did a lot of “dirt” while servicing mortgages! It is really going to catch up with them one day!
Attrition and Morale is a big problem...mgt meeting
Was in a fairly senior meeting today. Those two came up as well as "flight risk" employees. One of the senior mgrs who i respect a lot did not hold back and said something to the effect: We've cut their year end comp last year, we've replaced those... — read more
I didn't know this was a competition
Looks like BofA decided to enter the race for the most toxic culture, the most hated employer, and the most employees forced to quit within a month title, all at once. I can't find any other explanation for why our work environment has shifted so... — read more
Pretenders
I started thinking about leaving the moment I realized that those who only pretend to work hard are more valued here than truly hard workers. . . For that reason, I enjoyed working from home because I no longer had to watch their acting. I don't... — read more
CDC Guidelines
Anyone notice in pictures of RTO that people are not wearing masks while in conference rooms sitting right next to each other? Also in counties with mask mandates for indoor areas the bank is not requiring you to wear mask while at desk which goes... — read more
Give it your minimum
All the companies that implemented WFH during the pandemic saw an increase in productivity. Now that they're stubbornly determined to bring us back to the office, I say we give them our minimum. Let them see what they're losing by forcing us back. I... — read more
CB's replacement already parroting RTO
For those who had hopes he would be a change...I hate to break it to you. He's just another warm body in the position. No backbone to challenge the status quo. He just fired of an email full of hypocritical "your safety is our top priority" as covid... — read more
In Office Company? Why would the bank want to admit that?
I'm embarrassed every time I hear management say, "We are a work in the office company." Why would they ever want to admit that? It's like saying, we haven't evolved, we are stuck in the past, we don't care about the environment, work/life balance... — read more
Caught between a rock and a hard place
Returning to the office is the worst thing I could do right now. I'm vaccinated and that provides me with some protection but if there are too many unvaccinated people around me who are more likely to catch Delta and spread it further, I'm not safe... — read more
Vax mandate for external hires
So BofA requires the vax for any external hire. Anyone want to take a guess on how long it will be before they mandate it for existing employees?
The focus should be on the once in a lifetime Pandemic, not joining people in a confined office area
WaKE Up!! Give us a chance in this!!!
The Curious Case of Agile
The moral of this story is that the BAC leadership is not d-mb, but they did miscalculated some things. And the other moral is that things aren't always as they seem. It is no secret that Agile when you have regulators up your ar-e ceases to become... — read more
Anyone else feel like a lab rat
All the other major financial institutions held back when the cases sky rocketed. I search for updates and ALL I see are financial forecast from the Bank. No concern for health or employees. No safety has been put in place at sites. We are working in... — read more
Breakthrough cases
One on my floor less than a week into the RTO. Not worth risking health coming back to work.
Hey BM!
Has one of your sycophants told you Wells Fargo is delaying return to work? Can't you admit RTO now is a mistake? Wait for it. Wait fort it. Wait for it. Oh never mind you couldn't admit to a mistake even if our lives depend on it!
Nobody Cares Anymore
I felt that since the RTO news came that people's drive or motivation (whatever was left) has been decimated. You can hear it in people's tone and for those who returned to the office you can see it in their eyes. This is going to be SUPER bad for... — read more
I guess this is what I've worked so hard for all these years
I tried to always be an exemplary employee. Always going that extra mile, always staying as long as it took to make sure everything gets done. And for what? To be told that I'm expendable and if I don't feel like returning to the office I'm free to... — read more
Are we really going to report our daily bowel movements to our employer via an app?
Has anyone taken the Return to Work online training? By submitting an acknowledgment it says you agree to adhere to daily health questionnaires (including if you have diarrhea) via an app you download to your phone, temperature scans, masks, etc... — read more
Back story on why Bessant is out
When BM arrived, CB started to make her case for her tech empire. A portion of that included significant investment with promised returns due to improved operations etc. That investment happened, and we all saw hiring frenzy and salary increases... — read more
I don't think everybody is being truthful
Everywhere I look, there are employees who claim they left for a better job with higher pay. Here, Facebook, wherever. However, all the people I know personally are struggling to find a job that has any kind of job security and at least comparable... — read more
Low of the lowest morale
Layoffs aside...this whole rto and how the company has handled things including comp is driving morales to the ground. I have never seen it this bad ever.
RTO Failure
Not socially distanced, No cleaning completed, masks not being worn, inaccurate CDC information being shared by HR. They don’t care. So frustrating!
CB is no longer CTO.
Well.....per today's announcement from BM. CB is now "vice chair global strategy" relocating to Paris. So we don't have to listen to her any more. Aditya assume CT&IO position.
Bofa Leadership shakeup. Good or musical chairs?
will anything change or will the status quo be maintained?
