I'm leaving. Life is what you make out of it. After almost 10 years of working here I still haven't learned how to succeed at BofA. Does anyone know? Those who get promoted and say that this can be achieved through hard work should not be trusted... — read more
Worker Union for Bank of America employee
Just look at Amazon and Starbucks recently, nothing is impossible as long as people wants it
We are taking one hit after another
We just lost another great employee last week and I can't understand why they were so willing to let her walk away. She has been here for over a decade and is one of the few people who are knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge and help... — read more
Big layoff
Happening in July, most tellers will be gone
Are you less productive when working from home?
Be honest and let us know, are you less productive when working from home? I am not from HR, I am just curious. But please be honest.
Collaborate with who?
Whom shall 8 collawith?? Most that are vaccinated didn't sign it into the tool with their staus. Many are unvaccinated still at home. I have to co.e I. 3 days a week and when I do there is only maybe 3 people LOL on a floor where there were over 80... — read more
According to Recent in office reporting…
Received an email stating that according to “recent reporting” many people have not been coming in the required “more often than not” as of March 1st. I am one of these people, I have been to the office maybe 4 times since March 1st. The email was... — read more
Bankers Threaten to Quit
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10672645/amp/Junior-Goldman-Sachs-bankers-threaten-quit-demands-return-office-five-days-week.html
My productivity at the office is half of that at home
It took me going back to the office to realize just how much more productive I was at home. I'm not kidding, my productivity has halved and if I think back, it returned to the pre-pandemic levels. So the company is definitely losing by forcing me... — read more
Bu-----t to make money
Too many managers in global markets just bu-----t and still here
Experience before BOA doesn’t count
Anyone else continuously have to remind people that you had experience before you got to BOA? Very cultish, where it only seems the work you’ve done within the company matters.
The experiment is failing
Things quickly get out of hand when those who consider themselves extremely competent are actually doing very risky experiments. Does the bank have to start losing customers so that they realize that outsourcing is not the best solution?
Job bands are going away
They will move from 10 bands to 5 groups. This will happen Q1 2023. No further clarification was given. On an HR call now where it was mentioned.
Feeling checked out...zero interest
In tech... Too many meetings...not enough time to do the actual work. Most of these meetings have people that either are hard to understand (thick accents) or have no idea what they are talking about...or both...it makes everyone lose interest. Is... — read more
Who is doing work?
Too many managers. Not many people doing work
"Encouraging" people to retire
I'm still not even close to retirement, but I'm wondering when BofA starts asking employees about their plans for retirement? What age do they start "encouraging" people to retire?
"Invited" to office with medical accommodation
I got a medical accommodation to WFH indefinitely approved. It doesn't say I'm "Mywork" but HR sent an email late last year. I'm physically unable to go to the office due to legitimate medical reasons. Today I got an email from employee... — read more
Real world experiences that are never rebutted by mgt
Outside of buzzword bingo at Town Halls, mgt never has a response to the issues raised like those in this article. It's all about old-school control. Period... — read more
LOCRO Management
Any other groups not have management back in the office? Most of LOCRO's management and IC's still work from home. What will BANA do when they find out that they lied and are vaccinated? Early on they caught on that if you tell the bank you are... — read more
No OJT for E-Pay returning
Just putting out the word that BOA is not setting up returning agents for success. Beware.
Band and salary #s
Where I can find this info. Thank you.
I hate RTO, but I hate the alternative more
Let's face it, as soon as the global situation stabilizes (and it will stabilize at some point, be it in a year or five) management will sit down and take a good look at all the positions that were done 100% from home with no issues. Then they're... — read more
What's the latest on hybrid?
Anyone get a survey yet? Anyone hear anything about hybrid?
This place only promotes family members and friends!
I mean literally someone who has only been in office a year is taking over segment consulting analyst. With WHAT experience?!!! I'll tell you what experience. He is related to the person who just got promoted a manager for the complaints team. And he... — read more
Bureaucracy
There are too many managers in global markets. Bureaucracy hits a new time high
CEO on webcast working from home?
Anyone else watching The Download? The CEO is either working from home or his office is weirdly messy and designed, but it appears he likes working from home...
Digital Dollar
Question for discussion, would you support a digital dollar / currency and why? Do you have any awareness about a recent executive order to explore this subject? For the record, I know most transactions are completed via credit & debit cards... — read more
Goodbye Bing
Anyone know what crawled up GIS's a-s to make them forbid access to Bing? Lots of apps that use Bing maps just bit the dust.
This is how you do it

What will be the consequences of such a strategy?
I really don't get the impression that BofA cares at all why people are leaving en masse. Leadership is rather short-sighted and now it seems that people leaving even suits them. The consequences of replacing great employees with new hires, some of... — read more
Did you get your stocks bonus today?
How many did you get?
Two people left my team so far due to RTO
Several more are seriously considering walking away and if they do, we're screwed. I think this might cause the kind of domino effect the leadership has not considered. They counted on some people leaving due to RTO but I'm not sure they counted of... — read more
Favoritism is out of control
Can somebody let BofA managers know that blatantly favoring some employees over others is not good for the team or the company as a whole? Favoritism destroys team morale and it ends up creating resentment and a soul-crushing work environment that... — read more

Childcare Issues DO matter!
I laugh every time leaders say “childcare issues are not a reason for flexible schedules..” Uh, guess what HR geniuses- it IS a good enough reason for working parents who CANT FIND AVAILABILITY AT ANY LOCAL CENTER DUE TO LIMITED LICENSED STAFF AND A... — read more
