Stop saying you're going to leave - just do it!
I'm not going to go into why leaving right now is the best possible time, others have already said and repeated the reasons many times. I'm just getting tired of hearing about people wanting to leave, people getting ready to leave, people hoping to... — read more

Manager told me in review that Head of LOB is “looking at hybrid”
Maybe we have a chance?
Do you take reviews seriously?
That is, are you satisfied with your review? It is interesting to me that when I worked minimum, my review was excellent. Now that I was giving my best, I got a bad review. I’m a little worried because I’ve never received such a review. Should I... — read more
Leaving the company
I received a pending offer recently. When should I give my 2-week notice in order to receive the bonus? Can I let my manager know in early Feb or do I need to wait until the bonus payout?
Received an email to WFH for further notice
Anyone else get anything?
Are teams really stack ranked?
Can any Managers shed light on this? What's it for? Also who determines our bonus amount?
How good is your relationship with the manager?

Return to Office
I know we've gone over this... Any news on return to office? I loathe the week by week piecemeal of information. Also NO it doesn't mean people are easy if they don't want to return. The bank's numbers and productivity rate reflect this. Most people... — read more
Review process and ratings
Is exceeds/exceeds possible? Manager always says there is a quota, a number of exceeds they can give in the department, says it’s basically unattainable. I always get one meets, one exceeds.

Health Screening Requirements…
I find it absolutely ridiculous that Bank of America is resuming the requirement to provide a biometric screening from your health care provider, or other testing site in order to qualify for the $250 credit! You can barely get in to see someone... — read more
Aditya's email clearly highlight lack of diversity...
Anyone see those about outs and pictures...it's embarrassing to show that many photos that all are 90-95% Indian. Does diversity mean anyone but white? I know this may sound wrong in itself and is a sensitive topic, but every week it's the same... — read more
Why do you think your colleagues are lazy?
It bothers me a lot when I hear people talking that those of us who are currently against the RTO are lazy. It's terribly wrong to think that of your colleagues!
This is one great agony
All this talk of delays in returning to the office is one big agony that has been going on for too long. I would prefer to work from home forever, but if I had to choose between definitely returning to the office or having to think all the time... — read more
Have you delayed RTO at Bank of America?
I work for a small regional bank in North West, we are slammed with Covid and we were closed a few days. Anyhow, I wanted to see if you are RTO anytime soon - our management typically copies whatever big banks do. Good luck.
No More Bounced Check Fees
What does this mean? Are we a better bank now? Are we going to really cae about customers now? Why all of this now? https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/11/investing/bank-of-america-ovedraft-fees/index.html
Meta delays RTO until March 28
Even Facebook that is notorious for its cr---y treatment of employees has decided to move RTO to the end of March. What are the chances our leadership will follow suit?
RSU?
Two years ago they announced in Oct and awarded in Jan. Last year they announced in Jan and awarded in Feb. Anyone in the know, know what is the plan this year seeing it's already half way through Jan and nothing has been announced but from a... — read more
They can save lives if they let us work from home
So many employees have people who are in high-risk groups for COVID and who managed to stay safe for nearly two years. If we return to the office now, it's all but guaranteed that so many of us will get the virus and give it to our loved ones. The... — read more
Working in the office training

Hostile work environment
I am the only non Indian person in my tech team of 8. Everyone including manager are from India (in Plano TX). I watched my capable team get laid off over the years and replaced with very low level cheap talent. Most of men are ok to work with but I... — read more

Too many priorities mean no priorities

Best strategies to get laid off?
I am planning to leave after I find out if I get a bonus or not. Anyone have any good ways to get laid off? I would much rather get severance + unemployment than quit and get nothing...
My productivity will drop
Once we return to the office, I can guarantee you my productivity will drop. Not because I plan to do less as a form of protest or whatever, but simply because it is so much easier for me to do my work from home. I never managed to do as much at the... — read more
Retirement under rule of 60
I want to quit and take another job and realized that I can retire under the rule of 60 mag Nostradamus of technically quitting. Is there a specific notice period to retire? I was thinking to give two weeks notice.
Are they trying to stop anyone from leaving?
Or on the contrary, are they trying to remove every dilemma whether to stay a little longer or leave? I haven't noticed that bofa is doing anything to keep the talents. It's hard for me to believe that such an exodus is not worrying them and that... — read more
Have they extended WFH?
Cases are 1mm a day, hospitalizations are sky high and hospitals are buckling. It shouldn’t even be a question at this point.
Mild strain means we'll be going back to the office soon
I don't like it any more than any of you do, but I think it's a done deal. Omicron is significantly milder than other strains and the number of hospitalizations caused by it is very low. While we are seeing a jump in the number of cases, for as long... — read more
