When do those hit again? Feb 28th Paycheck for Bonus and March 31st for the RSU to be able to be vested? Not expecting much of a bonus but want to adjust accordingly
Band Promotion vs. Salary Boost
If you were given the choice between a promotion from Band B5 to Band B4 or a 10% salary increase, which one would you pick and why?
Let's all hope ...
That Brian gets another 28% raise. He really needs it. I'm cool with being overlooked for any merit increases or standard of living adjustment. Brian's well being means too much for me to accept anything less for him.
Management is piling on pressure to force people out
It’s become rather clear what’s happening. The company is deliberately creating a hostile and miserable environment to pressure people into quitting on their own. Between impossible workloads and a culture of constant fear, people are breaking. If... — read more

People getting title promotions after being here 6 months
People getting title promotions after being here 6 months. Many others that are dedicated people that have been here for decades and never getting a title promotion. Favorites and cronies get these promotions. Is this really happening? Not that I... — read more
Premium Pay for work Christmas week
Did anyone else receive premium pay for working every day last week? It was brought to my attention by a teammate that he received premium pay for last week. He asked whether I had received it as well and if I knew what premium pay was. I told him I... — read more

Just found out about the email chain this morning.
These mo--ns are working among us. Let that sink in.
To everyone replying all...
I needed a good laugh to end the day. Thank you.
My Mouse Cursor..
My mouse cursor suddenly disappeared on the screen and will not come back on. This is surely a sign from God that my workday is finished. I don't see how they are going to replace the workforce with AI when we can't even get 50 year old technology... — read more
Contractor layoff
I'm noticing contractors are not being renewed. Is this just a year end hiatus ? Or the bank focusing on FTEs?
Bank-wide Comp and Bonus pools….DOWN to flat
Anyone surprised?
Sad state of things
If people are worried about more layoffs so close to Christmas, you know something is seriously wrong with BofA.
12/24 LAYOFFS (not again! :( )
Been hearing 12/24 as another possible LAYOFF date. Just wanted to make sure you all were aware. Got the news from my reliable source today, citing increasing market turmoil and the crash that is about to start. Good luck everyone!
Bonus during leave
Does anyone know if bonuses still pay out as normal in Feb. if you go on leave before your year end review and don’t return to office until April?
Promotions
has anyone noticed all the long overdue title promotions going on out there as of late? seems random. any intel?
AI is a banking bust.
I don’t know where it started but someone in the banking sector painted a picture with golden rainbow of return via AI. All the banks all jumped on board with such a claim so as to not be left out. Well its not panned out for any of them at all. ... — read more
End of Year Reviews
Does anyone else hate this time of year? I hate having to grade myself. I always just select meets/meets and then write up some bullsh-t that neither I or my manager really cares about, just so we can have a conversation and then go back to our... — read more
Mass layoffs followed by job openings...?
It's somewhat interesting to me that BofA would go through the entire process of hiring a bunch of tech employees, fire them all after a few months, then post the exact same job opening - complete with the exact same typos as before. The only thing... — read more

Flex seating
It’s awesome that the company spent all this money on renovating the buildings and creating the open floor plan seating just to find out the day of your meeting. You can’t use the office that you booked weeks ago because it has now become somebody’s... — read more
AI is (mostly) just an excuse for cost-cutting and offshoring
It’d be great to see the real numbers. Anyone who’s actually used AI knows it’s nowhere near reliable enough to replace human work outright. And yet we keep hearing that “AI-driven layoffs” are the future, when most reports say many of those jobs... — read more
Changes to RTO
Does anyone have reliable information on planned changes for RTO - are we going to be expected in office more days soon?
SLOW!!
OMG- I’m about to go insane. Why is our system so slow?! This is ridiculously unproductive. What is wrong with her outlook? Why does it take 13 years to set up/open/send an invite? This has been going on for years and it’s so unacceptable at this... — read more
