What will be the consequences of such a strategy?
I really don't get the impression that BofA cares at all why people are leaving en masse. Leadership is rather short-sighted and now it seems that people leaving even suits them. The consequences of replacing great employees with new hires, some of... — read more
Did you get your stocks bonus today?

Two people left my team so far due to RTO
Several more are seriously considering walking away and if they do, we're screwed. I think this might cause the kind of domino effect the leadership has not considered. They counted on some people leaving due to RTO but I'm not sure they counted of... — read more
Favoritism is out of control
Can somebody let BofA managers know that blatantly favoring some employees over others is not good for the team or the company as a whole? Favoritism destroys team morale and it ends up creating resentment and a soul-crushing work environment that... — read more

Wondering about how the whole bonus pool procedure works, if anyone knows and cares to comment. Does my immediate manager get a pool of money, and distribute as he sees fit? Example: Manager gets a $50k bonus pool, and has 10 direct reports. Can... — read more
The pay is not worth the treatment
When I first came here, it was common to colleagues hiding their tears. It was quite a shock to me at first but I never thought that such a thing would happen to me. Well, now I understand things better. I have a manager who recently put me in that... — read more
This is why they're pushing for RTO so strongly
I saw this on the Wells Fargo page and reading the article left me furious. It makes perfect sense, though. Why would you force your employees into a situation that's going to create resentment and drop productivity unless there's something to gain... — read more
The culture of Layoffs
Layoffs have been an annual event since the mid 2000s. Unfortunately, companies have merged over and over resulting in job duplication, as well as a way for corporations to squeeze the last breath of life out of employees, by reducing older, higher... — read more
Starting next week it will be optional to wear mask at Bank of America Financial Centers. This is an absolute disregard for our health and safet

Smaller banks are not the answer
I've seen it suggested often to look for a job in a smaller bank to avoid the issues that are usually associated with major banks, but the truth is that even they have their own problems. I worked at a regional bank for four years and it was just as... — read more

Negotiating salary for internal move

Voluntary Severance
Does anyone know what is involved with asking to be severed? Besides, actually asking your manager, who has to take it to leadership for approval. Would this mean that my position would be classified as "job elimination" and my manager couldn't... — read more
Bureaucracy
Global markets is becoming more and more bureaucratic because there are too many middle level managers playing politics
Collaboration in office
Have you noticed increased collaboration since you returned to the office? I haven't. In fact I notice less collaboration than ever.
Times are hard as it is
It’s kind of sad to see good employees leaving and you’re not the first or would be the last. Leadership in this company has failed in how they’re managing RTO. As someone said in another post, a bunch of outdated minds, set in their ways and not... — read more

Most unstable job roles at BOA
I know there is no such thing as a "safe job" anymore, but perhaps there are some roles which are more unstable than others?
I am more angry than happy that I resigned
