My management in software dev area are concerned about developers leaving and finding replacements. I like my team a lot and the work sometimes. My boss expressed thanks for working through the pandemic. But If they don't start offering hybrid... — read more
When are non Vax required to return?
Does anyone have a RTO date for the non Vax group and high risk group (the last group to return)? I heard after Labor day but that still seems very soon. Thanks.
Does BOA intend to replace people who leave?
For months there has been no replacement for my colleagues who have left. For months other people have been doing a double workload because of it. I wonder how many more months will pass before they are replaced and will this happen before more... — read more
I want to go back to the office
so i can gather my belongings that I left behind (sentimental items) and quit. Finally getting some hits from remote jobs and my motivation to get out of this he-l ho-e is at an all time high.
135,811 positive covid cases in the US yesterday, over 50,000 hospitalizations
Why are we going back to the office now? Everyday I’m hearing about vaccinated people catching covid and getting really sick.
They didn't even have to name names.
While many executives and managers spent the early months of the pandemic telling their employees that “remote work wouldn’t work for us in the long term,” they are now forced to argue with the tangible proof of their still-standing business, making... — read more
Will RTO plans change?
Many companies are pushing back.. clearly we are just a number to this bank. They don't care about us.
Cringeworthy Flagscape Return to Work Photos
Anyone notice the photos on flagascape with all the people awkwardly posing for photos in the office pretending to be excited. There is even one where a guy is wearing a "We're back hat" wonder if he would get fired if he didn't wear that hat. Of... — read more
When do we stand up for what’s right?
I see a lot of posts around people mad about having to return to office. What about those of us having do eight times the amount of work because we can’t replace those who are work from home and are being forced to reopen centers with not even close... — read more
This is the week
Layoff time…
They try in every way to conceal attrition numbers?
All recent hires have either been internal or run of the mill if no one internal wants it. They tried to create fake states to lower the attrition rates... Yes... seems like they are trying to mask the attrition problems. I think it is in vain... — read more

It’s awful how much BofA is stuck in the past
Old mentality - it's almost synonymous with BofA. I wonder why? Are those at the top actually afraid of changes or do they just not want it? I can’t believe they don’t see how much BofA is stuck in the past and don’t know that the new times require... — read more
Can we sue BofA if we catch covid because of their stubbornness around RTO?
Efficacy of vaccinations have been proven to wane. Israel says that protection can get to as low as 16%, and currently the numbers sit around 39%. The CDC changed their mask and testing guidance because of the reports that came out following the 800+... — read more
Vaccine Mandate?
Hope so. Thoughts?
Vaccine requirements or lose your job at the bank?
I have been reading and watcging companies getting frustrated with Covid and making the vaccine a requirement to keep your job. I know we are huge, but after listening to BM and other executives it seems possible. What are your thoughts?
BofA Mgt HATES WFH and will be relentless to crack down on it after RTO
I heard today in a meeting that they are looking to get rid of MyWork entirely. If you do not come in to the office you have 2 choices 1- Come In 2-Leave This is all new development in a senior meeting I was in. While the world goes towards flex... — read more
So, which is it, BM? It can't be both.
BofA #1 We need customers to use ERICA so we can reduce touchpoints with live agents We will station people at branches to direct customers to use ATMs instead of tellers We will expand phone VRU options to enable more transactions to be... — read more
Loved my Job, but I resigned today
I told my manager I quit because of the Bank's RTO policy. He tried to say they can accommodate, but line HR mgrs are putting a pad lock on that process now and heavy scrutiny for people that have it or will be renewing. Looks like they went downhill... — read more
Will BOA change RTO?
With cases increasing everywhere and delta affecting even vaccinated folks, will BOA change their tune on RTO? What a mess they are asking everyone to go back at the beginning of cold and flu season while covid is starting to rage again. I’m hoping... — read more
Going backwards
Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks BofA is going backwards instead of going forward? Unfortunately, in every possible segment. No wonder no one with skills wants to stay here anymore. Management does not want to accept its mistakes.

Is there anyone who changed their mind after leaving BofA?
It happened that I regretted leaving the company I used to work for and coming to BofA. Now I want to get out of here and the stories of the people who left are mostly very positive. Still, I find it hard to believe that no one really regretted... — read more
BofA deletes Vaccine Reporting Tool in the UK
However in the US...where employees come second...it's alive an well. Pathetic that they are creating this bias. I will never report my status to this bank.

RTO for high risk?
Any high risk employees here due to being immunocomprimised? My dr is telling me to behave as though I’m not vaccinated even though I am and to avoid big groups indoors. How the heck am I supposed to go back to the office? Anyone else talking to HR... — read more
Band 5 to 4 salary negotiation
Have been B5 for close to 10 years, now making right at $100k/year. Interviewed for B4 and was a final candidate where recruiter asked my salary requirements. I said $130-$135k. Recruiter then said $115-$120 would be more in line with justification... — read more
Plenty of available jobs
If you have an issue with RTO, there are plenty of available jobs in banking and in many other fields that have gone fully remote since the pandemic and plan to stay that way. Everybody is hiring. This is one of the rare situations where you have no... — read more
Bringing us back in right now is a huge mistake! I do not want to catch Covid!!
The delta variant is exploding worldwide, cases in the United States are skyrocketing. Being vaccinated protects most people against hospitalization and deaths, but since the CDC decided not to count breakthrough infections back in May, we don’t know... — read more
Returning to the office will save your job?
I absolutely agree with someone who wrote that it is naive to expect that going back to the office means saving your job. That is just my opinion, but it is very clear to me that BofA has decided to get rid of people and it will do it regardless of... — read more
Band level 5 to 4
Does anyone know if there are any benefit increases from band level 5 to 4 (vacation etc)?
They're just giving me one more reason to quit
BofA has been working overtime to get me to quit. This latest RTO is just the latest in the long line of things that have proven how disconnected this management is from its employees. Either that or this is intentional and I'm playing into their... — read more
Actual layoffs?
I heard through the grapevine yesterday that there was a small RIF in GTO. Anyone have an idea of head count? That would be nicer than waiting for our resignations.
Maybe I was wrong
I thought the RTO was a way to reduce headcount. After hearing BM speak about it, I'm almost convinced he's just a dinosaur who distrusts technology solutions. I wouldn't be surprised to find a real paper rolodex on his desk.
