What's not being done? From what I can see, we've had no issues in all the months of work from home. So what is such determination to get us back into the office about? There has to be a reason but I can't think of one. Does everybody in management hate their families so much that they can't wait to get away from them?

The US Government can only force employers to mandate vax if employees are RTO. There is no risk to coworkers, as it were, if you are WFH. So RTO is to give them justification to jab the every living f&&& out of us every few months, with the latest co-----l of goodies, that will be to the health benefit of no one, trust me.
TO avoid mandatory ongoing vax, employees must continue to delay RTO.
They want us all jabbed up.
Several years ago, there was a push to end MyWork for many associates for no logical reason, and it achieved the desired attrition numbers. This is just Part II.
Maybe BM gets a kickback from the management companies for our buildings for seat occupancy!
It is all about stimulating the economy. The push back to the office is to get everyone out of their homes regularly spending money on fuel, breakfast, lunch, coffee, clothes, parking, transportation and on and on. So many businesses have had to close because people were not regularly spending money by work locations. I mention everyday spending but it extends much further than that considering less miles traveled means less need for car maintenance, tires, brakes, other repairs or even the need for a newer car. So it all comes down to trying to jump start the economy in my opinion.
Surprised nobody ever mentions that there are still so many people who were not pulled out of the MyWork program several years back, thank you CB. That infuriated me even before Covid. So I am forced back to the office while the rest of the team I work with remain safely on MyWork.
There has to be an ulterior motive or motives as to why BofA leadership has been more aggressive than most other corporations (including banks) with RTO policy...
Some ideas are:
- They are trying to drive up attrition as part of a cost cutting move, and looking to backfill open roles by outsourcing. Sr leaders have been consistent in citing the need to manage expenses.
- BofA is concerned about impacts to their real estate holdings... particularly in CLT, NYC, and DFW areas
- BofA is desperately trying to meet a year end quota in order to preserve local tax incentives
Whatever it is, this whole idea that most want to be back in the office right now or that we need the in-office collaboration is laughable if not insulting to many of us who have worked hard to make it work well remotely over the past 20 months.
No logic needed.
Take all logic out of the equation, and there's your answer.
