BofA doesn’t care that employees are overworked and burned out. I don't even expect my manager to notice that I can't handle more work. Of course people leave because they can’t cope with so much stress.
Health and well-being should come first. Has anyone managed to talk about it with the manager and successfully set boundaries, or is quitting the only solution?
I tried and was told well everyone is new, meaning there’s nothing they could do but pile more work on the people who already has the skillset. For me it seemed like nothing could be done and so I left and got a better opportunity. Loved working for this bank at one point until it became too much.
Under the pretext of "Operational Excellence", an area outside our regular functions 'transferred' to me and several colleagues from other teams some of their functions and responsibilities, arguing that the bank would save thousands of $ by cutting a vendor that did that job. This happened without the knowledge and the express consent of our managers, and when we brought it up, they just fell silent. i just stopped supporting them because I'm burned out.
You're gonna have to quit! I did and the grass is greener and came with 35k pay increase.
Quitting is the only solution. They don’t care. If they cared they would have done things like hybrid months ago to retain the experienced workers. But they don’t care. They thought everyone was replaceable and they weren’t and now everyone suffers for it. But good workers like you will leave and they will be stuck as a low quality bank.
