One of the main positives of WFH for me was not feeling the same dread on Sundays or even better, on Mondays, that I did before. I started to enjoy my job again and that made me more productive. Now I'm back to hating my job and hating having to go... — read more
Have firings increased lately?
This might just be me being paranoid, but it feels like we've had more firings lately. I know of three people who were fired (and I want to emphasize fired, not laid off) in the last two months or so. Only one of them deserved it, in my opinion... — read more
This makes me hopeful that full RTO will never happen
64% of workers would consider quitting if asked to return to the office full-time Resistance to returning to the office full-time is even stronger among younger employees: About 71% of 18-to 24-year-olds said that they would consider looking for... — read more
Ups and downs
I haven’t been here long and it’s pretty shocking to me when someone who has spent two decades here says that during all the ups and downs this place has had over those years, what is happening now is certainly the worst. ---- Is it really so, that... — read more
Systems Down
Once last week and twice this week GFS was either slow or down. In CashPro we were unable to run reports. How are we supposed to make our numbers with the systems down or slow. Makes no sense
Stop exaggerating
People are leaving in slightly elevated numbers, but it's nowhere near the armageddon some are trying to paint it to be. I wish it were true, I really do, but creating a false image of what's happening at the bank helps nobody. Let's focus on things... — read more
BofA Band 6 Pay and Salary Information
Please share information
Everyone is quitting in DROVES!
Literally… one day after the other it’s a constant talent drain. Have you noticed this in your department too? I’ve never seen so many managers and upper managers leave!
Bank of America California exit?
Heard from a colleague about a north California location closure by end of this year. They didnt tell what will happen to employees in this locations. There are 250+ headcount and left in limbo. I told them to polish their resume.
Starting Salary At BOFA $22/Hour or CEO Mispoke?
Besides the RTO requirements which changes from quarter to quarter, layoffs can still occur for BOFA employees. Hence, the purpose of this site to support layoff rumors. However, the CEO made a possible mistake during a MSNBC interview which may... — read more
JPM backs down on full RTO again

I don't think BofA will like the drop in productivity
At first I was frustrated by the decision to go back to the office. There is absolutely no reason to spend money on gas and waste time in traffic. If I really saw the point of RTO, I wouldn’t complain. But now I come to work with a smile because I... — read more
The sick culture of shifting blame.
Maybe I’m just fed up, burned out or whatever, but what really bugs me lately is the way that they always shift the blame for whatever goes wrong to the employer that is the lowest link in the command chain. The irony of it all is that that person... — read more
No one in the office
Not surprising that very few people are in the office. I often feel I had more connectivity with my team and business partners vs.. when I was WFH. Work less in the office. I am busy socializing with people I don’t work with. Hahahah works is less... — read more
Come back to work and by the way parking is $235 per month
If they want me back in the office permanently pay for my parking!
The most stressful part for me are interpersonal relationships here
I've been doing work for two people here for a long time, but somehow I've gotten used to it so now I don't even complain much. However, what bothers me a lot and creates even more stress than the fact that I am overworked, are interpersonal... — read more
Has anyone had a Mexican accommodation extended?
Meaning you had one with an RTO date but you/your dr requested another? Was the process different the second time around? My dr wanted to reevaluate in a year, we’re approaching that but nothing has changed so need to go for another accommodation. — read more
Survey is closed now just waiting on the gaslighting to commence
How likely do you think it is they are going to offer hybrid? We have so many open positions in my group which they are unable to fill because not many people want to work in an office 5 days a week. That seems to be the first question that is asked... — read more
The difference when it comes to layoffs
I know how things stand here now when it comes to layoffs: BofA is trying to get rid of those who are more expensive - in other words, those who have more skills, knowledge - while it mostly retains mediocrities. Was that also the case 10 years... — read more
Stress levels are off the charts
It was never a joy working here but with RTO, layoffs, and micromanagement I've had to deal with since my old manager quit (Dale, come back, we all miss you!), my stress levels have gone through the roof. I think this is their way of getting rid of... — read more
Jacksonville’s Ridiculous LED Lights!
I have migraines due to light sensitivity. Have had minimal migraines over the past 2 years.. but I’m dreading going back to the office after Friday when those ridiculously bright LED lights that shine right in our peripheral vision as we look at... — read more
Wells Fargo laying of in their Mortgage division
As far as I could see from the news the explanation for announced layoffs is that they are performing a reorg and shrinking the workforce due to rising interest rates. Can anything similar happen at BofA in the near future? Any rumors about such... — read more
Three reorganizations in as many years
Nobody can convince me that one department needs to go through three different reorganizations in as many years. Each of them served only to cut some people and shift some positions around. That's it. Nothing else was achieved. Why is this necessary?... — read more
Incompetent managers
It is so difficult to work under a manager that is not competent or knowledgeable in their position here. I have seen managers promoted who weren't experienced enough . This company consistently does this and people see it here all the time. I am not... — read more
That's not my responsibility
I really don't know how to tell a manager that something is not my responsibility without being rude. I don’t know why, but he suddenly expects a bunch of things from me that aren’t my responsibility at all and he sure knows it well. Is this... — read more
RTO
Kind of funny that profits when down 12% for 1st quarter, during the same time RTO began.
RTO and Medical Accommodations
If we are not a WFH company why are medical accommodations being honored for some employees to continue working from home?
First day RTO
We went back this week in London. Everyone looked miserable. There was not even a sanitiser put at our desks. The D&I head sneaked into his office without anyone noticing. Some teams are asked to come all 5 days a week. Everyone is hoping that the... — read more
Anyone else get a bag of popcorn today?
So in my office we got a stupid bag of popcorn thanking us for coming back to the office. Are these people that out of touch with reality that they think a bag of popcorn is going to bring up morale and be thankful to be back in the office? All I can... — read more
All Hands Recap
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, self promotions for the "in crowd" blah blah blah. We want you to be excited about work... Great, pay us better! Pay will help reduce the high turnover which will allow us to have a better work / life balance. Hard... — read more

Everything is horrible
I hate my job. I hate it a little more every single day. Nothing ever improves, things just keep getting worse. Being forced to RTO is just the latest in a long line of things that make me want to throw up every time I think about work. I can't... — read more
No remote!
This bank will never offer full remote because they have too much invested in real estate leases and the commitment of renovations. Note the survey did not give a remote option. It was asking what you want to see in the workplace so they can factor... — read more
BACK TO 5 DAYS A WEEK IN OFFICE
So today we were told by 05/16 4 days and 06/16 5 days. Also when someone stated how productive we were we were told that "yes we were productive as individuals but not as a team"??? Paying for parking, gas, and inflation plus all talk regarding... — read more
Going back RTO
Who is not going back?
Extra work
Very bad experiences at the bank where I previously worked taught me not to accept any extra work since then. Those who do a lot of extra work here, how much is it worth it?
‘Great Attrition’ or ‘Great Attraction’? The choice is yours!
Interesting... — read more
got an email titled:
Ready to work in your pajamas? It was from a contracting firm and the client was Bank of America. I asked if the Bank had changed the dress code but the headhunter was confused by the question ;) Btw, the rate was 80/hr. I passed
New Tech Makes WFH Harder
In GT they are pushing a laptop refresh and the new dells have a different docking station situation. The old HP docking stations were a plenty so it was easy to have one both at home and in office. I suspect they are pushing this new refresh so that... — read more
