BofA will not relent with the RTO.
Here's why.
BofA is run by Charlotte or vice versa. They've made a backroom deal to be as such. Charlotte cannot function without the BofA employees in uptown. The businesses--hotels, "lux" restaurants (note that that there are hardly any affordable places for the locals)--mostly if not all, surrounding there cater to and are meant for the employees and businesses conducted of BofA. Thus the Charlotte BofA offices need the employees to prop up Charlotte's economy and need its Charlotte employees to RTO to do so. That said, if other offices in NYC, NJ, OH, FL, TX, CA... do not yet RTO, then the employees in Charlotte will say that how come they're still WFH, while Charlotte RTO. Therefore UM makes eveyone RTO so as there's no complication in their part. It's like a socialist form of corporate management in BofA's part, i.e., that the means of RTO, production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the BofA community as a whole.
