Unforced attrition
BAC latest strategy, at least in the CAO office, is to force people to quit by making life miserable. Don’t they realize only the good people will quit and everyone else will be disgruntled.

Severance?
Is there a cap on severance if you worked at BofA for say, 30 or 35 years? Or do they just make you miserable so leave on your own (or make up a "cause" to terminate) to avoid paying these days?
