They moved many of us to what they called "high performance" work space. We called it high density work space. They cannot have us all come back, there wouldn't be room...they even told us at the time the the "hoteling" process works because not every one there every day. I forget the percentage, but they based the space on X% of folks out of the office each day. And if they go back to assigned desks, they'll have to open more locations, which is a total counterintuitve posture. That said, they seem to be flying by the seat of their pants. BM's absolute biggest mistake was ever having CB over tech and ops. She was the loudest voice in this RTO thing. Aditya, Hari and others have been back peddling fast and furious...saying we have to "look at it".

Our location has already been notified that desks will be moved to separate vaccinated from non vaccinated. Floor by floor and building by building. That doesn’t sound like a vaccine mandate to me. It also doesn’t sound like they plan to let people keep working from home. If they’re doing it in one location they are probably doing it in other locations. Also, what a waste of money. Bonuses won’t go up. You have to pay for desk relocations. Congrats and welcome back to your bunny ho-e. Don’t forget your mask!

Yeah, all the vaccinated people with two shots are going to WFH when they refuse the third booster shot. RTO will NEVER happen.

BofA has no choice but to implement a hybrid model if they are intent on bringing everyone back. I’m sure it varies by job and location, but those of us who are in an open shared workspace office cannot reasonably work in a full capacity office safely. It is just not worth the risk to the employees or the company.

It was extremely misguided for BM et al to talk about full time 5 days/week RTO earlier in the summer especially since it worked against their goal of vaccine portal compliance as well. This bank simply cannot afford to continue pushing out of touch policies that aren’t reflective of today’s priorities… work/life balance.

I have talked about this with my wife and the day I have to go back I'm emailing my resignation letter. I am top performer and if they will not let me continue to work from home they must need need me that much. I'm in the fraud department and the money I save from walking out the door is not mine. Let the newbies in the department deal with it. Until then I'll do my job and hope against hope someone at the back gets kicked in the bu-t and changes the RTO process.

The real kicker is the vaccines don’t even work, its all over the news. So all those RTOs that are back in office have waning protection and will need booster shots forever.

Yeah, unvaccinated are not RTO. They need the unvaccinated, they wont get fired.

Forget RTO, the bank has a talent crisis. Most areas were running bone thin before and when a key person leaves, that results in a cascade of systemic damage. If the bank wants to keep RTO, then they need to compensate for that derailing posture through compensation and benefits.

Uh, unvaccinated are not RTO. And they are not getting laid off, either. Suckers that got vaccinated have to RTO.

I’m not coming back to office. I’m not getting vaccinated. Been WFH and no one has said a thing.

All I know is every single co worker of mine, many of which are top performers have plans to quit if no flexibility is offered by Q1. I know folks holding out for bonuses but after that, game on.

Hope the bank comes forth with a flex plan before then. Otherwise, get ready for a massive exit and no chance of hiring good talent.

At least 5 people on my team plan to quit if we are forced to RTO. I can't hire anyone to replace them because these jobs are just not appealing enough to the current job seekers. People want a flexible work environment and management that cares. I can't offer that at the bank.

I hope upper management backs off on all the RTO mandates. It's destroying our workforce.

It will happen, but people will not do it as the bank wants.
They will turns blind eye to be right on paper.
