BofA is stuck in the past
BofA is stuck in the past in many ways. But what are the reasons for that? Incompetence of our leadership? No vision? Too much risk in changing some things? But what interests me the most is whether you think that BofA is stuck in the past much... — read more

No point in being in the office

Deep regrets on leaving the company
