Let me start by saying I was hired fully remote back during covid. There are no physical office buildings where I’m located. I was told on Friday I need to start going to the office the second week in August or it would be considered a resignation. Excuse me?? The closest office to me with be three states away. I won’t be getting a package nor be able to collect unemployment. I also learned from a colleague in a different department that some people are being allowed to remain at BAH. Before people start with saying “it’s probably your production” I have the highest production on the team, I stay late, I rarely call out if at all and I’ve never received a below expectation.

@wv Please help us understand why an active HR associate is on this site commenting against policy direction. Others from HR are also responding to various topics and seem to be monitoring the discussion. Why is that?
Questions:
- Are you receiving HR or Senior Leadership direction to monitor this site and report back?
- Is there some amount of guilty conscience from you or HR involved here based on the current rules including RTO, Forced Rankings, PIP, WFH, etc.?
- Please acknowledge the level at which the direction is coming from within senior leadership - CEO/CFO, EC1 & EC2? Why are communications so carefully muted and not addressed by Senior Leadership or by HR since this chatter is always the elephant in the room!
- What is the end game to all this bloodshed?
@ar not HR! We follow same rules as everyone else. If you only knew how an HR dept operates. We dont make most of the rules..we just have to smile and try to follow them. Thank senior leadership for 98% of changes.
@b9 BAH isnt “costing to much”. Paying the nitwits in PA and NYC costs too much. Especially when none of them can do their jobs and everyone else being sh-t on cause their home has to tell them how too. This place is run by mo--ns . Thats the issue. They want you in office so they can justify why they go in to see their office wh--es
The bank isn't the one who decides if you get unemployment benefits.
@ar TS
@ar Of course its HR!
@bq I’m more upset because some departments or some people are not being forced back into the office. The rules should be the same for everyone. You can’t let someone in Mississippi or Georgia be fully remote but I can’t if I’m in Maine. We all talk to each other.
This is accurate. There is strong push to get BAH into offices regardless of distance/medical accommodations. You can be the most productive or hard working, it doesn’t matter. What’s going to occur is some of the best will depart, which they want so no need to pay severance and the remainder that stay on will likely be mediocre talent.
Even as a BAH employee, you may well be the greatest and most proficient producer the bank has. But it doesnt matter. The thing of the matter is, you cost too much and you are rocking the boat on RTO. You are an exception to the dull witted views management has. Therefore, you are a problem. And the solution is to vanquish with the ability to hire Vikas or Rajesh or Priya at 30% of the cost. Yes there will be pain and a learning curve, but so what? That’s a lower management problem to solve. And if they don’t, then they aren’t meeting expectations.
Many of us were also forced wfh cause they closed our site which remains owned by bny and empty. Yet we are discriminated against cause we’re wfh and cant promote or get promoted. They did this and are trying to sc--w with everyones job. Contact an attorney
deplorably unethical people. Absolutely vile humans.
I am sorry. They did this to my coworker a few months ago. They gave him the option of moving to a central office or resign due to location. He knew better than to uproot his whole life for a possibly he’d just get laid off once he moved.
You should be eligible for unemployment since this is a change of workplace location. Document everything and talk to your unemployment office. If you have an employment lawyer, run this by them.
What teams are able to stay BAH? Would love to know. Please tell me not HR.
The message to employees is that the bank does not care about you. The bank is not loyal to you. You do not have any job security. They want to reduce headcount and cost. When they want to get rid of you, they will do their best to term you for cause so they do not need to pay severance. RTO is one major tool they are using. Another is forced ratings. Your production does not matter. Your loyalty does not matter. Your work ethic does not matter. This can happen to any one of us.
Sign to get out. Doesn’t matter.
