Can someone post the article? I hit my limit lol
Employee Engagement Survey
Took my survey already today. It was not good and I took every opportunity to write up why this place is awful they gave. My manager should be happy they left last month for a non management role. I wish I could have rated my work group better, but... — read more
Got an email from Employee Surveys
Forwarded it to abuse@bofa.com.
RTO??
The gas prices keep increasing each and every week making RTO so hard on my family.Has anyone been ordered to come in person but continues to work from home? Has anyone received a write up or fired for not coming into the office??
Not replacing roles
So many people are moving to new internal roles. Good for them, except their roles are not being replaced! Their work is expected to be absorbed by those remaining. So they need to stop bragging about filling roles with internal candidates because... — read more
The problem is that they treat this as a gift
Raise shouldn’t be treated as a gift since that's something we deserved a long time ago, but my impression is that’s exactly what’s happening. I guess they think that many of us here are still unaware of our value? It’s still better than nothing... — read more
BOA should be ashamed of themselves pushing this cr---y 3 - 7 percent increase
This shlitty raise they are giving us is a slap in the face. Do these azzholes know that gas is at 6 dollars a gallon. How the fck do they expect us to live off that and RTO in the middle of a pandemic. With this increase, I can't even buy a pack of... — read more
Does BOA fire easily
I’m curious what the protocol is for someone to get fired (not laid off). I’m in a right to work state so I know they can fire at anytime for any reason, but just curious if The bank has a certain path they follow before actually firing someone. — read more
What roles at BofA are already hybrid?
I hear some people in auto/credit were able to get hybrid. Also QA sent back home. Not sure if this is true. But does anyone actually know which LOB got approval for hybrid?
Management encourages bad behavior
I've noticed this happening and it's hard to understand why it's happening. As an employee who loves his job and cares about doing it as best as he can, it demoralizes me a lot. Encouraging bad behavior is a way for managers to punish good... — read more
3% to 7% raise?
How much did you get? 9 years and 7% here
June 6th employee survey
I’m going to demolish them. They are such a joke. Then I’m talking with my feet, and leaving this joke of a place.
Shaping long-term, sustainable changes to our workplace
I’m not buying what they’re selling. How long does it take to make a decision? We want to reduce our carbon footprint but making associates commute 5 days a week is acceptable, how about flying half way around the world on a private jet to... — read more
BU-----T! reg long term sustainable changes
What the he-l is this about!? Listening sessions? Why are they prolonging this? I don’t value seeing anyone in the office, I will find every reason not to come in!
“Let’s have fun” email
Planned “fun” activities for the next 3 months, the email reads like a summer camp flyer. Guessing they weren’t notified that cupcakes don’t work on adults so here comes the forced “fun”activities in fear in retaliation. All the while still waiting... — read more
Dear Brain M / Cathy B
Hello BAC leadership I just wanted to let you know that I have been extremely busy building solutions for your competitors. So far they are loving the solutions for many different reasons such as: low cost of ownership, elasticity, ... — read more
All Hands Call
Had an amusing all hands call with my org leader today. Boy, can she say a lot of words without actually saying anything. Hybrid? Still thinking, so much thinking thinking thinking thinking. So many people tell her how much they love the office, it’s... — read more
B4 type salaries in tech
A buddy is trying to get me to join, what is the (current) salary range for b4 roles? Curious if they've adjusted them at all
Orange Ear Plugs
The Merrill office in Hopewell NJ is just plain rotten, though I like my team a lot. The myth of “coming back to the office to collaborate and hear each other on the phones” really gets busted when you stand up and see the sea of orange ear plugs my... — read more
Digital and marketing reorg
Curious if there are rumblings from the digital and marketing reorg. New opex routines and responsibilities continue to be in discussion and very few details are clear. Been about 9 months and still as clear as mud.
Management will keep piling on the work
I wanted to keep this job and worked long hours without any complaints, doing work that someone else should be doing. Now that I am absolutely burned out and leaving soon, I would advise that no one puts in any extra effort. Why does BofA tend to... — read more
Kudos to Elon Musk @ Tesla
Stop your whining and get back to work or leave.
June 1st Deadline was today.
Did anyone see new faces back in their seats? None here in NJ. Same old loyal folk who come in at least once a week.
Bad bosses playing favorites
Favoritism is nothing new. However, in the past, managers at least tried to hide that they had favorites. Now it's like the game of playing favorites is very much out in the open? Very frustrating and very unprofessional. Worst of all, the... — read more
I miss WFH
That's it. That's the post.
Signs it may be time to leave a job
You are underusing your skills. You are not following your passion. The work environment is unhealthy. There are no opportunities for growth. The company's future is in question. Your ethics are being... — read more
Increasing visibility at work
I have been convinced of this many times, despite the competence and professionalism working quietly and hoping that managers will notice someone's efforts and commitment will not bring any advancement to the employee. But the question is is it... — read more
External Postings
Anyone have any intel on b4 like roles and how much hiring there is externally? Curious if people are getting lots of resumes or if attempts to hire externally are failing
Just in time for summer camp mess
Well, kids are out for 10 weeks of summer break and camps in our area are only offering 4 weeks (9a-3:30p.. super inconvenient for working parents)…. But they can’t offer more because WE’RE STILL DEALING WITH A PANDEMIC. Great timing on the id--tic... — read more
Shrinking middle class, where’s our raise?
A family of three making $52,000 to $156,000 per year is considered middle class. Why is there a $100,000 cutoff for raises? The Bank is contributing to the middle class struggle. Signed, an angry employee making just over 100K
When's the last time you were recognized for doing great work?
I'm tired of going above and beyond my job responsibilities and getting nothing in return. Why would I bother if the person who barely does anything gets the exact same treatment as I do? I think I'm the id--t here and those who waste most of their... — read more

Covid exposure!!
I’m in the office full time 5 days a week. My coworker that sits in my area of cubes tested positive for Covid Thursday morning and called SOACC they told them they were at work the day before. My other coworker who sits even closer to me went and... — read more
It’s easiest to pretend everything is great, right?
If managers could realize that they sometimes might be wrong and then take different actions to fix it and move forward, that would be the best. That is not happening here, however. They never admit their mistakes. That is why they will keep on... — read more
Something will have to change
I hate there's talk about the full return to the office so soon after the hybrid was implemented. I don't think it's realistic to expect people to be receptive to that. If there were some changes made, then maybe. For example, I wouldn't mind going... — read more
Anyone ask for raise after 3-7% <100k?
I ve heard of a lot of people angry about not getting cola for over $100k but under $250k. Anyone ask for raise and if so did it work? Not sure how long it would actually take to go into effect or be approved...
Employee Survey
BofA probably know they won't have good survey results? I believe the results will be worse than ever.
Counteroffers
I've heard that the bank does counteroffer if you approach your manager with an offer from a competitor, is this true?
Eliminate the 100k to 250k bands
Eliminate the $100,000 to $250,000 tier entirely. Give working people a chance to make it financially.
Raising miminum wage
The minimum wage increase to $22 effective at the end of June is generally a good thing. However, is celebrating this a bit foolish because pretty soon it won’t be enough to live off regardless of the increase?
