If I see the CEO make another comment about how we need to be in the office for spontaneous conversation around the water cooler, I will scream! In my department, if we take too long to get water or use the restroom or doing anything away from our... — read more 

I've been on the fence for more than a year but I was always too scared to go through with it. Now that I was able to find a new job that (seems) better in every aspect, I'm giving in my two week's notice. I am overjoyed to leave this den of nepotism... — read more 

I have been out of work before but not during a pandemic. I'm barely hearing back from employers when I submit job applications. If I do, it's immediate rejection. The fact that I am older probably doesn't help much, either.

I don’t even know why I was honest, because I’m aware that those who are honest have always been the target of layoffs. Maybe I secretly wish for that to happen, so therefore all that honesty. I know that employee opinion will not make any... — read more 

It seems to me that more people have applied for new jobs and left here than ever. What is very interesting to me is that people who have been here for a very short time are also leaving. Once upon a time this was a place where a career was built... — read more 

I don’t know if they put it into practice, but I think they did because the same thing is happening to me and close colleagues to whom I’ve been talking to about this. There has always been micromanagement, but now it is even greater. There was... — read more

From the past ESAT, we were forced to follow up and say why you didn't get a position. This is painful for the overworked team and rather than have a real conversation, we're making stuff up so that it's a quicker conversation. Sorry. And yes, the... — read more

I also used to be happy working at B of A until I got laid off. It has turned into a circus. They were never the leader - always the follower, and in most cases, dragging & lagging in technology and creativity in products. I got first hand to see... — read more 

Has anyone read the latest article? It's out for the public to read. It's titled "Eyebrows raised at Bank of America's new love for its traders."

Just want to get a survey on the average age of SVP in Bank of America. Appreciate your inputs.

Still looking for a fulfillment from a job? Sometimes I find it ridiculous how many people expect fulfillment at work and are disappointed that they can’t achieve it. Fulfillment is an illusion and the sooner I accepted it, the better things got for... — read more 

Got an email from my manager that RemotePC is being retired this year. I think the bank wants everyone to be working on a bank-issued laptop. Do you think this might indicated a permanent work-from-home situation?

Do only what you have to, nothing less, nothing more. If you want to climb the ladder here, you can't appear as a treat to anybody. We have so many incompetent managers that anybody who stands out represents a threat to their jobs. They're going to... — read more

I'm from USAA and I wonder if any of you know anything more about the rumors circulating that the USAA federal savings bank is to be acquired by Bank of America?

Lately, my colleagues have often talked about automation, which will increasingly take our jobs and so on. As far as BOA is concerned, it seems to me that automation processes are going quite slow (or much slower compared to some other banks) and I... — read more 

Can you only get severance (the 2 weeks pay x years of service + insurance) if you are laid off? or can you get it when you retire, too? And can you ask your manager for a severance (or retirement) package?

I'm very curious what everyone's departure point for BAC is. I'm 49 and feel like I have a decent networth. What net worth, location and age do others have or think is enough to quit BAC?

There is already a lot of talk about layoffs in June. Is there any guess or some insight as to how many people might be affected, who will be the target? I hope for the best, but I'm prepared for the worst.
