Are there going to be more layoffs any time soon?
I'm desperate to leave and walking away with severance would be ideal in my book.
Silver Manipulation?
What is going to happen when the CFTC actually has true commissioners and price manipulation in the precious metals market is exposed to the public? Clock is ticking!
Are they even going to come out with hybrid?
LOB keeps telling us to be patient and that hybrid is coming, but waiting for the enterprise to make a move first. Is this for real? Does anyone have any insight as to if hybrid is really coming?
Extension of a medical accommodation?
Has anyone had any luck on an extension for a medical accommodation? I know the bank is pushing hard on RTO but my disabilities are covered. Will I have an issue getting an extension of my medical accommodation that’s set to expire in a few months? — read more
Reflection on being a tech employee at Bank of America
Its been 3 years since I left a software engineer job at Bank of America. WLB was great for me and the work was pretty easy. It was super easy to be a top performer and to feel confident till you start interviewing outside and get your ego smashed... — read more
Final RTO Date 6/1
Received the email today, all employees in office by 6/1. Starting in waves with the first being 5/4. How does everyone envision this playing out?
Succeeding at BofA
I'm leaving. Life is what you make out of it. After almost 10 years of working here I still haven't learned how to succeed at BofA. Does anyone know? Those who get promoted and say that this can be achieved through hard work should not be trusted... — read more
Worker Union for Bank of America employee
Just look at Amazon and Starbucks recently, nothing is impossible as long as people wants it
We are taking one hit after another
We just lost another great employee last week and I can't understand why they were so willing to let her walk away. She has been here for over a decade and is one of the few people who are knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge and help... — read more

Happening in July, most tellers will be gone
Are you less productive when working from home?
Be honest and let us know, are you less productive when working from home? I am not from HR, I am just curious. But please be honest.

Bankers Threaten to Quit
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10672645/amp/Junior-Goldman-Sachs-bankers-threaten-quit-demands-return-office-five-days-week.html
My productivity at the office is half of that at home
It took me going back to the office to realize just how much more productive I was at home. I'm not kidding, my productivity has halved and if I think back, it returned to the pre-pandemic levels. So the company is definitely losing by forcing me... — read more
Bu-----t to make money
Too many managers in global markets just bu-----t and still here
Experience before BOA doesn’t count
Anyone else continuously have to remind people that you had experience before you got to BOA? Very cultish, where it only seems the work you’ve done within the company matters.
The experiment is failing
Things quickly get out of hand when those who consider themselves extremely competent are actually doing very risky experiments. Does the bank have to start losing customers so that they realize that outsourcing is not the best solution?
Job bands are going away
They will move from 10 bands to 5 groups. This will happen Q1 2023. No further clarification was given. On an HR call now where it was mentioned.
Feeling checked out...zero interest
In tech... Too many meetings...not enough time to do the actual work. Most of these meetings have people that either are hard to understand (thick accents) or have no idea what they are talking about...or both...it makes everyone lose interest. Is... — read more
Who is doing work?
Too many managers. Not many people doing work
"Encouraging" people to retire
I'm still not even close to retirement, but I'm wondering when BofA starts asking employees about their plans for retirement? What age do they start "encouraging" people to retire?
"Invited" to office with medical accommodation
I got a medical accommodation to WFH indefinitely approved. It doesn't say I'm "Mywork" but HR sent an email late last year. I'm physically unable to go to the office due to legitimate medical reasons. Today I got an email from employee... — read more

LOCRO Management
Any other groups not have management back in the office? Most of LOCRO's management and IC's still work from home. What will BANA do when they find out that they lied and are vaccinated? Early on they caught on that if you tell the bank you are... — read more
No OJT for E-Pay returning
Just putting out the word that BOA is not setting up returning agents for success. Beware.
Band and salary #s
Where I can find this info. Thank you.
I hate RTO, but I hate the alternative more
Let's face it, as soon as the global situation stabilizes (and it will stabilize at some point, be it in a year or five) management will sit down and take a good look at all the positions that were done 100% from home with no issues. Then they're... — read more
What's the latest on hybrid?
Anyone get a survey yet? Anyone hear anything about hybrid?
This place only promotes family members and friends!
I mean literally someone who has only been in office a year is taking over segment consulting analyst. With WHAT experience?!!! I'll tell you what experience. He is related to the person who just got promoted a manager for the complaints team. And he... — read more
