When did working here become just means to an end for you?
This company lacks leadership. It has no solid plan for anything. They seem to make it up as they go. They don’t care about us because they can replace us in a heart beat even if it’s just a warm body in a seat. All of these executives making... — read more
Creating the unmotivated employees.
I hear multiple managers blabbering about how we have become unmotivated and that we need to find motivation for doing the work in a responsible and proactive manner. I would like to counter that claim with a question. If multiple employees that are... — read more
Any other LOBs hear about hybrid yet?
Why did they put that survey out if they weren’t going to listen in the first place? People are leaving left and right.
Open-office JAX
Why!?! Why are they still constructing the open office layout in Jax?! How do folks at other sites feel about this reserved seating in an open floor plan? This just seems crazy after what we dealt with the past 2 years. Are people not concerned about... — read more
It's not all about the numbers
I know the attrition is being seen by management as a good thing, but in this case, it's not all about the numbers. It's not the same if you're losing five or ten percent of your overall workforce and losing five or ten percent of people who are your... — read more
"We work better as a group"
That's what our manager told me and another coworker yesterday as an explanation on why RTO is necessary. Completely ignoring the fact that it's been since before the pandemic that all of us have been in the office together as a group and our... — read more
Literally Nobody
Literally nobody is happy with being back in office. Went back this week and I’m not going back again- it was depressing and miserable. Not risking getting stuck talking to people too long wasting my time about how none of us want to be there... — read more
COVID SPREAD
Many people in my department have tested positive for covid. 5 days and they can be back in office. No social distancing and soon back 4 days a week. Covid on the rise. Most teams have managers off site. Gas prices rising, many can't find child... — read more
Major Competitors…
Our major competitors are working remote and hybrid. Why does the bank refuse to implement any such change? What benefit is there to stay when we could go work for a competitor and get the perks we desire…
Low quality hires in tech!
I feel lately they hire warm bodies full time and chains of friends hiring friends. Is this the "special talent" that we bring in from overseas?? No one can say anything about it, because if you do you will be classified as intolerant and would... — read more
Do they really care?
More and more employees are finding jobs in other companies and this is becoming a real challenge for BofA. How is it possible that the bank is not doing anything to all these people from leaving? The management seems rather indifferent to it.
Safe jobs at BofA
What jobs are considered safe from cuts? Any specific departments?
Happy mothers day to all the moms forced to RTO w bad or no childcare options
Many mothers forced to rto only to have the same zoom meetings they have done at house for 2 years...not mothers trying to not pay for childcare but mothers who cannot find care due to staffing or rising hourly costs for baby sitter (pre-covid $10-15... — read more
The management style of BofA eerily like that of Putin
The Bank of America management team seems to have the same hubris as Putin when it comes to managing those underneath them. They disregard the costs, opinions of others, protests, or the plain old logic of the situation. They believe they know better... — read more
Rising Covid cases spark fears of another wave
I keep seeing headlines suggesting that another wave is ahead. Isn’t this ongoing mess a reasonable concern with folks being forced back just to eat cupcakes together? Or a good reason to allow folks to WFH successfully as they did for 2+ yrs? Went... — read more
Bank of America symbol on NYSE is BAC which stands for Backward Azz Company
This company continues to anger me on the things they have done in the past few years. First, they decide to RTO when other companies continues the WFH which is a backward azz company decision . Second, the CEO gets a raise of 30 million while... — read more
Partial Victory! Hybrid Schedule for Technology!
This has been in a few other threads but gotten buried, but clearly leadership is feeling the pressure having (quietly) given into tech earlier this week. 3/2 is at least something, and while it doesn’t directly help anyone outside of tech, it does... — read more
WFH is becoming a thing of the past
It breaks my heart to see it, but it's happening. Even some of the biggest companies that were talking about going primarily remote after the pandemic is over are changing their toon and are easing people back into the office in hybrid mode. All of... — read more

So they want me back in the office, and want me to move to a new cube.. but they want me climbing under the damn desk and lug my equipment to the new cube because they’re don’t have onsite support to handle this UNNECESSARY ON-SITE requirement?!?... — read more
Employee Engagement Survey
You’d think it would’ve been top priority to implement some sort of mass hybrid approach before pushing out this engagement survey that never results in any change. It should be interesting to see how this plays out. They’ll still lie anyway and tell... — read more
I can't find a better fully remote job
I have tried to find the same or better job that is fully remote. There are many remote jobs on offer, but nowhere would I be paid more than here. Obviously others have more luck than me ??
WFH 3 days a week or fully remote
WFH 3 days a week or fully remote Is the only thing that makes sense. Coming into the office is a waste of time-so apparent now that we have a comparison. It’s stupid. So many distractions, time, gas, environment, work/life balance all out of... — read more
Bank of America fined millions.
Bank of America has been fined 10 million dollars. It's all over Google. So is that why no one got a raise but Brian??? Place is so scandalous!
I doubt this will significantly reduce the talent drain
What will BofA accomplish with 2 day WFH? I would love that to stop the talent drain, although I doubt that it will help much. Perhaps I'm being too sceptical so I'm wondering what you think, could it actually work and reduce the number of those... — read more

Underpaid and Overworked!
Struggling to stay afloat with food cost and now have to worry about filling my tank to go into an office that makes no sense. Bank of America’s CEO and executives are out of touch elitist who cares for no one but themselves. Pushing the diversity... — read more
Help me understand
People go in droves but we still have layoffs. How is that possible? What will happen when they later realize that there is a lack of people, and that BOfA is no longer the first option for almost anyone when applying for a job? It's really... — read more

They still don't get it...
SLT still doesn't want to let go of this id--tic rhetoric that we "work better together... in the physical office". No, we do a f'ing great job of working from home and getting our jobs done. Yes, 2 days wfh is better than nothing but why do we even... — read more

Slap in the face
I have more than a decade of experience and if BofA wants to equate me with someone who has just arrived and has almost no experience, then it will come as no surprise that I and many others who have been very loyal to this bank for a long time... — read more

Rigid new rules?
Did anyone else get any edicts recently about more rigid rules regarding productivity and how we fill out our time sheets? My manager seemed uninformed and combative when going over these new guidelines. I've only been with the company for a year and... — read more
