There would have to be a dramatic increase in Covid (beyond what the delta variant caused) to delay RTO. Simple fact of the matter is that BofA is using RTO to drive up attrition as part of a broad cost cutting move. Once attrition goals are met then... — read more
Ready for a new career journey
Not only was I overwhelmed and under tremendous stress, but I was above all disappointed because I thought I would be able to grow a career at BofA. It's either not possible or I couldn't figure out the right way to do so. What is the right way?? I... — read more
Year end reviews
I don’t ever remember getting the notice to complete the self assessment in December. Good tidings perhaps or more attempts to push people to go with a negative review?
No logic to this management's actions
They're letting talented people walk away without doing anything to stop them because they want to get rid of them. They are paid too much, they believe. Then comes the time when they need to replace them, and it turns out they have to hire at least... — read more
I am still hoping they will delay the RTO
I am getting more and more anxious as the day of returning to the office approaches. I don't know why delaying RTO is such a problem. Perhaps I should give up hopes that BofA will delay RTO after all?
COVID Deaths
With the size of Bank of America and how many people have reportedly died from COVID, does anyone have any knowledge of any employee or contractor who died from COVID? If after RTO, I'm guessing that could be a legal pickle, if it happened
I don't get the push for RTO
What's not being done? From what I can see, we've had no issues in all the months of work from home. So what is such determination to get us back into the office about? There has to be a reason but I can't think of one. Does everybody in management... — read more
Omicron variant is highly contagious and deadly. Bank of America must keep the WFH indefinitely. They need to keep employee safety first.
BOA must allow the WFH to continue until it is safe to return. This company needs to start taking the lead in addressing this. Where in the he-l is our CEO BM on this matter. He hasn't done or said a damn thing about this . This is absolutely a... — read more

Moderna says an omicron variant vaccine could be ready in early 2022
This is ridiculous. I’m not taking any more vaccines. Two jabs is enough. And I’m not RTO until this nonsense stops.
I do not feel safe going into the office until we learn more about Omicron variant.
Is going to HR the right move? No one wears masks at the office, and I don’t want to be potentially exposed to a variant that evades immunizations. We need to learn more about the variant before blindly following orders to return to the office in the... — read more
Can someone fill me in?
I’m off today- no access. What’s this work from home news?!? Details please
You're kidding right?
Hey BM and all the executive ostriches with your heads buried in the sand. Bryan Adams, the fully vaccinated Canadian rocker, took to social media Thursday to announce that he has been diagnosed with COVID-19 for the second time in a month while... — read more
The New Variant We Suggested Might Come and Still No Strategy to Stay Safe
I wish the bank would spend more of its time strategizing how to keep us safe instead of how to get us back to the office as fast as they can. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-leaders-ho-e-up-bunker-during-covid-19-drill-2021-11-11/ — read more

This is for anyone in CLT who received a 12/15 RTO date... If you return to the office on 12/15, let's walk out together at 10AM in protest of this ill advised scheme to force employees to return to full capacity offices during the holidays and... — read more

Oligarchy
Hard to believe a company who claims to believe in innovation can’t innovate themselves. In the middle of a pandemic and the flu season, they mandate their employees to go back to the office. Leaders consistently preach collaboration supposedly only... — read more
Unemployment WebEx?.
Anyone get invited to attend? If so, please share sometime tomorrow after the webex. (inquiring minds want to know)
Has anyone been through the medical accommodation process recently?
Can you tell me what to expect? I have the forms completed from two of my doctors.
New My learning Working in the Office 2.1
Did anyone else get this today or before now? Does this mean we are all heading back to the office asap? I have not gotten notification to return yet. Just asking to see if anyone else got it today.
Stay as far away as you can
Bank of America is nothing but a snake pit filled with managers who are more than willing to sc--w over their employees just to get ahead. I've been here for a year and I've had no positive experiences with any managers on any level. But I was... — read more
Still love my job
BofA is no longer what it used to be, but I still enjoy my job. It's hard, because they overwhelmed us with more work than ever, but I kind of put up with it all because I love what I do. Unfortunately, there are many who no longer enjoy their job?
Internal career opportunities question
Can anyone share advice on any good career areas at BofA that do not involve working heavily with offshore teams? I'm currently in a CFO Group role and although we likely aren't at the GT&O level yet, they are heading in that direction...
Vaccine status
Are employees who did not update vaccine stays fired? The HR employee stated an email would be sent to them. If anyone did not update vaccine status please let us know what is happening.
Low tech talent at BofA
I just joined last month and have come over from capital one. What a mistake for a small pay bump. I'm actually trying to go back. I'm in consumer technology and the entire teams are made up of people on visa. There are hardly any Americans except... — read more
Why do you keep working hard?
This is an honest question. It has been proven over and over again that working hard will bring you nothing good. You won't be promoted and it'll hardly be considered when it comes to raises. So what drives you to continue giving it your all? I've... — read more
Pension
Has anyone left the bank or been laid off and was offered a pension buyout? How does this process work? How much of a lump sum was given compared to the overall value of pension?
Maybe it wouldn't be much better..
What I wish the most is that the pandemic was just an ugly dream and never happened. However, I’m no longer sure if the situation would be any better here even if the pandemic hadn’t happened. What do you think, if the pandemic never happened... — read more
Resurfacing bonus question
Curious if bonus numbers are in or if anyone had heard what the YOY distribution is

You just wait and see.
Completely indifferent whether I get laid off or not
It's funny when I remember how anxious I used to be whether I would be cut or not. I don't care now. I don't even know when it stopped being important to me. I guess this happens when a person realizes that there is nothing he or she can do ... — read more

It’s Not You, It’s the Seat
Traders bonus are one of biggest scam. Trader make money because of the seat and market not because their skill. If trader is good, then he is in buy side already, if not , why do we pay him big bonus?
