Anyone know the flexibility the bank will announce? In terms of if they will come out with hybrid? I feel like they need to do something at this point to compete with other banks/employers. Does anyone know?

You’ll know when they announce it.
Well BOA just lost me. I start my new WFH job next week. Indeed has lots of WFH jobs. Had the bank been more transparent as far as flexibility options, I may have stayed. Get out while you can folks.
Everyone I know prefers WFH.
Moynihan and the gang are all aware the work can be done from home because they all wfh, thing is, the common folk aren’t trusted enough to be given that sweet privilege of having a decent work/life balance.
Jokes on them because people are getting fed up with low wages and lack of flexibility. Dark times ahead.
I just don’t understand the it’s not fair some people can’t work from home and have to be there. Then pay those who have to be in the office more money or a stipend for being in the office. That should make it fair for them or encourage others in the fence while letting those who prefer WFH and can do it to do so.
Full time WFH is my preference
The back office has given up too much real estate to have 100% RTO and they’re having a hard time coming to grips with this.
Rank and file is unhappy with the new renovated office areas. All those tech companies that use the open office environment don’t have 80% of their workforce on conference calls 80% of the day. They collaborate in person. You can’t do that when you’re counting on the workforce in Bangalore to be productive. And I’m going to make a generalization here but certain offshore countries have no clue about working in a quiet environment. I hear babies on every call. There are always children playing in the background. I swear I’ve heard livestock on a conference call.
I have a question. I was at a branch yesterday and it had been redone, nice and bright. Teller locations down to 3 from 5 or 6, and many glass-fronted small offices each with an individual banker, apparently, including the one we went into. My question is -- can any of those jobs be done remotely? If so, how would that work?
That’s the plan. They are still waiting for people to leave on their own.
Probably announce mid of October what the plan is.
So many associates are upset because there is no definitive decision. One LOB is 5xWFH, another 5xRTO, others 3x or 2x. Some enforce while others do not.
They will have a few days that you can WFH with approval per month...
Well most of the smartest and talented have already left if they wanted full remote. Many of us average people can survive on hybrid or even in rare circumstances are ok with 5 days a week at the office. The worst thing is still no one left who really knows what they are doing.
a few weeks ago BM said in 6-8 weeks they will have an announcement. I heard Scrivens said earlier this week said they were still working on it, but people want to be back in. Do they really???? in the meantime, we're losing people left and right for better remote options.
