Thread regarding Bank of America layoffs

Lack of diversity in BofA

It's becoming unbearable to ignore that the vast majority are now becoming visa workers from India. Many of those roles are project managers, business analysts, QAs, scrum masters, etc that easily can be filled with onshore staff.
Most of the calls I get on are 80-90% Indians. While most of them are decent, by and large majority of them have no clue what they are doing and extremely hard to understand.
Diversity does not just mean one group of people. It means a wide variety of qualified people. I find Latinos and blacks to be non existent in so many parts of the bank.
This is a complete failure to cost cut and eliminate jobs onshore for visa workers under the disguise of D&I. A lot of people got laid off and then this wave of folks poured in. Once there is an Indian manager, the team becomes Indian almost entirely...the bank and HR look the other way.

One of my biggest peeves is it's really hard to learn from many of these folks. Sometimes their attitudes and the way they talk over you or each other is just really absurd.

I see why people now refer to this place as bank of India!! I worked at Citi, JP and GS and it was a lot better than this sinking ship.

The bank only cares about diversity when it fits their agenda. If the language fits the moment in time diversity is shoved down your throat whether you care to hear it or not. I’m a minority and even I am sick of hearing about it. India is their choice county for technology because it’s cheap labor. It’s not the customers that have to deal with their language barrier, it’s the employees. You have no choice but to deal with it if you want to keep working there.

Look at their email signature. Anyone notice a new spinoff of BAC?

I am not racist and I love all people . I have been working here for years and when I see a black in management or higher position I get a little shocked but in a good way. Indian people are hardworking but I do see so many now in upper management positions. These people usually hire their own race once in management. This is the same for the white upper management staff.

At what point does hiring Indians not considered hiring a minority when they're the majority?

I am waiting for my group to be moved over to India. Too many hints are leading to that.

Different fields of expertise and study will have different demographics. It's not unique to BofA. Project Managers throughout GT&O/MVSO were primarily Caucasian in my experience.

I have seen groups of 40 white men between 40 and 60 with only 2 older white ladies as assistants...my guess is the bank is still overwhelming white men...just my opinion though

This number is only going to grow substantially over the coming months as BofA will continue to backfill roles in India that are opening up as a result of the RTO strategy.

My Finance group was told all open roles must now be filled in India. This strategy covers every part of the enterprise where there isn’t direct customer/client interactions.

It’s unfortunate that BofA continues to sell out the American worker.

Agree. However, if they hire individuals that are Indian it hits the diversity check mark, it doesn’t have to be Latina/black/etc. Its about having a set amount of individuals that are POC. Sucks but it’s just the truth.
