I would love to stay here for a while longer. However, the training for new employees is very disappointing. At first I thought it was normal, everyone needs to work hard to become acclimated to a new job. However, it is becoming increasingly clear... — read more
Every week I’m hearing more associates announce they are leaving for better paying jobs, with WFH, or hybrid options.
Bank of America is going to come out of this being one of the most undesirable companies to work for if they aren’t careful! Watching CEO’s, and executives from other companies (especially in the banking industry) begin to push back RTO, offer more... — read more
Federal court reinstates |3iden’s vaccine mandate….roll up that sleeve!

Morgan Stanley telling employees to stay home for rest of year…
At least the CEO over there admitted he was wrong about the rush to RTO. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/morgan-stanley-prepares-continued-covid-19-remote-work
Anyone in HR aware if hybrid is coming?
Hearing a rumor, wondering if it’s true for next year.
Do they pay the trolls to post on this website?
I mean, why do the trolls monitor this website if they aren't paid? All they do is attack the people who would rather work from home. Either the trolls lives really suck, or they must be paid to post.
Fauci says redefinition of ‘fully vaccinated’ is on the table….
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/17/covid-fauci-says-a-redefinition-of-fully-vaccinated-is-certainly-on-the-table.html How many of you will take yet a THIRD shot so you can RTO? This is getting ridiculous. I will not be getting another jab. Two is... — read more
People will be looking for a new job because they don't want to go back to the office???
I just found out that there are people who would rather look for a new job than go back to the office. Extremely childish. It’s okay to look for a new job for some valid reason, but if the main reason is RTO, then it’s pathetic.
Charlotte Area RTO invite for Jan. 19th
I just received my return to office for January 19th today. I work on a floor where no one has had the option to just work from home still if they want too or hybrid etc. Everyone has been 5 days a week since going back. I am praying they move this... — read more
What is the wait time to receive a response for a WFH exception request?
I'm anxious waiting for a decision to be made. If it's approved, what are the next steps, if any? The HR partner assigned to me could be nicer. :( Thanks for any suggestions.
This is not the only absurdity
In my opinion, forcing people to return to the office while the pandemic is still going on, in order to do work that they can do from home just as well or even better - is pure absurdity. However, perhaps it is better to come to terms with this... — read more

RTO Mandate Really Shows How Many People Hate The Office
I've hated the office for years. The id--ts who think chewing ice in their cubicle is perfectly fine. Or the cougher / sneezer who thinks coming to the office sick impresses their boss, and doesn't care about getting anyone around them sick. How... — read more
People, don't panic
And most of all, don't do them any favors and quit right now! I think that's the main goal of this: to get as many people to walk away as they can. A lot of things can change in a month. This latest RTO notification is not written in stone and it... — read more
Bank of America wants you to either resign or die from this RTO agenda they have implemented.
This company really doesn't care about us in this RTO stunt. I think they want a lot employees to quit/resign or die from this variant. This company is run by ruthless cowards that are spineless. I will not return to this shlithole bank. The fcuking... — read more

RTO phx but only if vaxxed..
Officially pi---d. I never used the paid time off to get Vax or claimed the incentive to optionally report Vax status.. it became mandatory to update damn status so I did. I got a jan 12th RTO email and my unvaxxed colleagues didn't. I live in phx... — read more

Manager reminds us about RTO
So in our last team meeting our manager reminded us that RTO is in effect and that there is not any hybrid approach and that if you have RTO’d then you are expected to be in the office. Meanwhile he’s on camera AT HOME! If they want to take RTO... — read more

Results
Considering that, at this point, we can say that the overwhelming majority of BofA employees are not happy with their jobs, I guess we'll find out soon enough if having an unhappy workforce really does affect the company's bottom line. If it doesn't... — read more
Next round of RTO tomorrow?
Is the next round of RTO emails coming tomorrow? Pi---s me off. What SHOULD be coming is the emails telling us to do what we're comfortable with since we're still in the midst of a PANDEMIC and we held it down for 18+ months going above and beyond... — read more
Integrity and professionalism are lacking here
It may be just my current mood, but I'm sure that many will agree that BofA has lost a lot of its reputation. Working here used to be a matter of prestige /not everyone could work here/, and now I have a feeling that I am in high school again. Why... — read more
This quote shows BM is out of touch with reality!!!

December Bonus???
I know it's not much but we all usually get a little something in December. I haven't heard anything. Anyone have any insight regarding this???
SLT is so misguided...
"People leave for more reasons than just money, there are usually a lot of different reasons." Um, it's two reasons; one, bofa FORCING people to get vaccinated and back into the office. Two, monetary compensation. It's not brain surgery. Pay people... — read more
So now you have to have THREE shots to be considered fully vaccinated
FFS, these people are insane. Looks like I’ll be working from home when its time for my booster. I’m not getting a THIRD shot.
Pay bump for making VP?

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... — read more
Are you mentally ready for the office?

2022 Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) award
Anyone know if they’re doing another round of RSUs? Please just reply if you know, not if you don’t. Also, the anti vax, anti bank, anti wfh, anti RTO need not reply because I honestly get it already.

Contact HR if you have any concerns at all with RTO

Anyone not invited to RTO yet?
I uploaded my vax info when we got the requirement email to tell them our vax status. Back late October. I still haven’t been invited back yet. Anyone else? I hope this means they are rethinking RTO.
