Ever since the announcement of the mandatory status on vaccine they have showed up in great numbers spamming this forum and down voting anything from wfh or against RTO. Can only be paid bank shills. That alleged "leak" of the PowerPoint with Nov 15th termination is most likely a long effort fake.
It stated the date of 10/25 of the second email with a reminder. I have not submitted and did not get it. Did anyone else?
That has to be a faked document some troll made on behalf of the bank.

NO. It works at phizer.
@spr+1dv745JO....Please resist. Do not enter your vax status. Stand up and resist. Then when you are fired don't act surprised.
RTO is about one thing only: they cannot force jabs on employees under the OSHA rules unless you are actually in the office where you could "endanger" your coworkers.
WFH negates OSHA's power on this.
This is about jabs, nothing more. Resist.
@qmc+1dv745JO STFU! You don't know my situation. Do you even work at BofA?
Tomorrow you will no doubt post another whiny thread about not wanting to come to work.
Trolls and corporate shills acting as RTO Nazis and posting pro RTO propaganda spam are only further emboldening many of us to resist BofA's policies... All you are doing is irritating and annoying most of us.
Do you really believe what you are posting on here is being adhered to and you are changing people's attitudes and perspectives?
@hui+1dv745JO You're right... I will need to RTO so that I can WebEx associates in India.
GTFOH !
I may very well end up leaving if they don't allow the flexibility that MOST companies are allowing including WF, Citi, US Bank, Key Corp, etc.
But in the meantime I've been here for over 12 years and god da---t I've earned a right to voice my opinion.
Perhaps you should go work at Facebook, Google, Twitter, Netflix, Citibank or Amazon. Then you wont be able to complain about RTO. Why would you want to stay at a bank you clearly hate working for? Makes no sense. All those places you mentioned would surely hire such a hard-working, diligent WFH employee such as yourself, right?
FANG companies are not the same as financial services. They are also experiencing many problems.
Work is a place when you work for a major bank. You seem to miss the point. You are an “asset” when it comes to your relationship to the bank/company you work for, meaning they hired you for you ability to do the job at hand and for your knowledge and capacity to teach others is relied upon on a daily basis. You can’t hide an asset away in a WFH location and then expect the rest of the department you work in is all striving for achieving the best for each department in terms of learning and best practices. Virtual will never be as good as real life, in anything.
Quote "MS, GS, JPMorgan, BNYM, Fidelity, are all back in the office, that should tell you all you need to know about what makes a company successful. "
Ok I'll take that on, CitiBank, Facebook, Netflix, Google, Twitter allow hybrid or full time work from home. Are these companies not some of the most successful on the planet?
Why can't BofA allow flexibility with where we work? If you want to be in the office so damn bad then go into the office 5 days/week... If you want to WFH, then WFH... If you want a hybrid then WFH some days and come into the office other days.
Work is an activity not a place. We don't need to be in specific physical locations to collaborate and be productive. Productivity has actually been higher during the pandemic, as are revenues.
We are people, not furniture and in this day and age we are going to bleed talent with an old school corporate culture while fintech continually eats away at our market share with more tech savvy operations that SAVE MONEY! BofA is pi----g away a great opportunity here for absolutely unknown reason which management has not been honest about.
When BofA leadership says "we are an in the office company" and we spend an increasingly larger share of our work days trying to communicate with offshore groups it is a f'ing joke. Leadership is full of sh-t on why they want RTO, being together and collaborating in the office is in no way applicable to this company with the amount of Indian labor and associates spread all over the world.
That’s just your opinion. Some people actually enjoy coming to work and will not only help others around them, they will learn from coworkers and managers as well. I don’t look at commuting to work as a drag, so I am fine coming back to the office, I enjoy my job and I do learn from quite a few people I interact with during the course of the day at my job. I was promoted twice simply because I always volunteer to take on additional tasks and training and this was because of interacting with people around me at the office who saw that I had a “can do” attitude. WFH is fine I guess if you just do data entry all day, but many people like in office because its more dynamic, and more rewarding in terms of learning. Being home alone all day in your home office is just not the same.
I honestly don’t think corporate life is for you. You are missing the point, much of what a company does is sharing knowledge and daily training to our direct reports and coworkers. People actually learn better when they are in real life meetings and face to face conversations.
Let’s be honest…during the pandemic, no one was working as hard or at full capacity as they do when in the office. Most were worried about catching covid, their kids and loved ones and for a year and a half everyone worked from home and we got through it.
Now we have a vaccine and its time to go back to the office, as we are a place that has many departments and many groups that work together. WFH is not the same as being in the office. While it was easy to get used to sleeping in, no commute and not having to get dressed for work, it also allowed all of us to have a lot of spare time as we were able to complete our jobs while still working at home and making do with limited in-person meetings.
I find it hilarious when people give the "you can't work from home and collaborate effectively because you can't just stop by a cube and ask questions" reason, completely ignoring the fact that the bank has teams spread all over the globe who do exemplary work without ever having met in person. Get real and just admit you're old school and can't adapt.
As a manager, I couldn’t agree more.
WFH doesn’t allow the day to day teamwork and collaboration of coworkers. Successful companies know their best assets are their employees. If people are holed up at home, never to be seen on a regular basis in the office, or rarely available for a quick ad-hoc meeting in-person, there is something that gets lost in all this, the element of being on a team and the element of getting things done quickly, if need be.
When you are in the office, people are able to stop by your office/cube/workspace etc to ask a quick question or brainstorm an idea, last minute meetings can happen and things that are time sensitive can get accomplished much faster in office than having to round up everyone on a conference call. Customer service is also practiced everyday among coworkers. All of these behaviors get lost in translation when people are home, hiding behind the phone or email. Most importantly, your company and boss knows where you are at most times and therefore you are available for questions, problem solving, etc. WFH allows workers to hide behind email, etc, therefore taking longer to organize meetings because often times you can’t find people right away.
WFH does not train the new generations of workers and future executives, it provides no elements of learning how an organizations works from top to bottom. When you work in an office, you are able to interact (and learn to interact) with all levels, from the mail delivery person to the CEO and everyone in between. WFH is for selfish people who don’t want to share and collaborate on a daily basis with best practices. Thes people want to do the least amount of work and get paid the maximum. Most of us learned what we know by observing and learning from our management, coworkers and peers and we pass this knowledge to the new hires as they come on board.
WFH is the death nail in the coffin for a business to fail.
MS, GS, JPMorgan, BNYM, Fidelity, are all back in the office, that should tell you all you need to know about what makes a company successful.
Serious question: Why do the trolls want to wade into RTO? Even a jerk should want to be spared the hassle of heavy rush hour, expensive fuel and noisy cubes. I swear these people are the ones who screwed around at the office. How are they now the “hard workers”?
Trolls trying to drown out the legit voices of those trying to embrace the new normal which is wfh and or hybrid. It's happening in all other RTO specific threads. It's true they showed up a week or so ago. They must have learned about this forum that has a comments section lol.
They are paid shills working from home
Lol the RTO lover trolls aka company one trick ponies are working full time here!
Where where you prior to 2 weeks ago?
This is the new normal. Take your heads out of those bung holes you are so up and see what real companies are doing. Full return to office is not the norm! Society evolves and moves forward and you dimwits rally behind "we're an office culture". Bunch of neanderthals!
Get vaxxed or don't but hybrid the place and move with the times and STFU!
New thread, same troll replies.
Oh my gosh, please just s.t.f.u already.
Shouldn’t you be over at the Alex Jones infowars site planning for the NWO takeover?
RTO translates to going back to normal. That’s a good thing.
If you don’t want to work at office, see your psychiatrist and get a note explaining your severe RTO anxiety and just work from home.
But please stop with your mental illness, your insane rants are getting old.
You conspiracy theorists never disappoint
