Thread regarding Bank of America layoffs

Who's right, Bank of America or every other comparable company?

Isn't a question of who is right. You work for the Bank. The Bank doesn't work for you. Quit and stay home and stop crying.

Hahaha….you have to go back to the office….suckers!!!!!

I think working in office can be beneficial or even essential to some roles but for a lot of other people, they can do their jobs well remotely.

100% of my external meetings are with people in different locations and countries. My team is all over the country. So even when we had internal team meetings before the pandemic, we never went to a conference room (even though 2/3 of the team are here in CLT). Everyone takes the call at their desk via skype/webex. When we chat with coworkers in the office, all the conversations are water cool talk, nothing work related.

I think the mgmt realize some jobs don't need to be in the office. But they have to ask everyone to be in so that it seems more fair and easier for them to manage.

The great irony is after the collapse, banks folding, huge layoffs etc, you’ll all be begging to have a job in an office. LOL!

It’s coming!!! Be ready.

Here’s what’s going to happen….
of you’re high enough on the corporate ladder, you can work from wherever you are. The lower down you go, admins, tech support, project manager, etc., get used to coming into the office 5 days a week.

Same as before. The top talent works how it wants, the worker bees drag themselves into the office.

Pro tip: become a VP or above and WFH a couple days or all week. If you are making the bank $$$, you can work from wherever. If you are not making the bank $$$ and are a necessary role that doesn’t generate $$$, like admins, tech, project manager, etc, you don’t get to choose.

What is so difficult to grasp.

You want to WFH? Climb higher on the corporate ladder.

In the meantime, go fill the copy machine with paper and put on a fresh p-t of coffee.

There is literally ONE person creating all these threads about not wanting to return to the office. Please go find a new job.

My team is all over the country. There is 0% face to face collaboration. We're wrapping up our best year in the last five. If they truly believe that so many people love being in the office, make it optional and see what happens. All of the interviews and articles refer to brokers and money manager type positions. There's no reason for tech employees to commute in to sit alone, other than to drive them out. Some one said on here before, for each social butterfly who can't work without goofing off pretending to get a coffee, there are a few introverts having their best years ever. They force classes to recognize differences, but then refuse to see how forcing 200,000 into the same work model makes no sense. They refuse to admit the OP's points about how great we've done on the bottom line.
They are too concerned with RTO to balance it with their new environmental risk model. The first step is to put a hundred thousand cars on the road, per day. This tunnel vision for RTO is worse than Ken Lewis' drive to buy up every bank no matter what. It comes back hard.

@ylh+1djlyufl quote - "Some people actually enjoy coming into the office, believe it or not. Nothing compares to real in life, real face time work."

A very small minority enjoy going into the office. The vast majority HATES going into the office. My team is spread across the nation, so "real in life, real face time work" doesn't apply to me, nor does it apply to the vast majority around me. So every time I hear that argument on why I should go sit in some cubicle so I can collaborate with my team, its a freakn joke.

@ylh+1djlyufl- nobody enjoys the office. Please go find yourself a life.

Sincerely,
Everyone

@ylh+1djlyufl the office is Open. why are you still here? Surely, the site is blocked internally. Troll!

All that fake good news is just to prop up the market.

Stop being so naive. Collapse is coming.

It does not matter who is right, it only matters who is left.
