I gave up my evenings, my weekends, everything. And there's still more work waiting. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. Something's gotta give.

Inflation in the U.S. has increased by approximately 26% between 2019 and early 2025
Has anyone had a pay raise that kept up with inflation? You were making $100K in 2019 — now you earn $126K.
Update performance ratings
How convenient. The ratings are updated to drive more slavery. For zero pay increase year over year. Billions and billions in profit.

Counting down the days
My retirement date is my only light at the end of this BofA tunnel. I'm too experienced for most entry level roles and seen as too old for the senior jobs I'd actually want. It's a very frustrating and powerless position to be in professionally.
No pay raise but want to go skiing?
No. I won’t be going skiing. I will be at home, on the couch watching YouTube Tube or cutting the grass. Or some other low cost activity. Or sitting around thinking and planning how to increase my income.
Sharing Success
Sold my first shares of sharing success award in 2025 should I expect a 1099B form?
Vesting period
I absolutely hate that bonuses, pay increases, and RSU take until mid Feb and almost all of March to vest. it's so annoying
4 days confirmed
Wendy Stewart (yuck) confirmed it today on a presentation call. Starting in March, it’s 5 days with 5 floaters a month. So, in typical arrogant banker talk, it’s more confusing than needs to be. It’s 4 days for 3 of the weeks in a month, and 3 days... — read more
Intent to Resign After Bonus/RSU – PTO During Notice Period
I'm planning to submit my two weeks notice after my bonus and RSUs have vested and been paid out. Would I still be able to use any accrued vacation or sick time during that two week notice period?
Ignore All BOA Layoff Posts On This Forum, UNTIL THEY ARE TRUE
Until layoffs actually happen at your work site or disclosed from credible major news sources, do not believe any posts on this forum about them. As you found out, posters do not provide the affected groups or actual information to make their rumors... — read more
All of India got a title promotion
If you’re in Global Ops you received a 226 page document that apparently shows the entire nation of India got a title promotion. Wild stuff.
How to handle no raise
How are we handling the no pay increase again this year? For context I have gone above and beyond and done Jessica’s extra projects and more. There isn’t anything more that I could have done to be a role model employee. Sulk Call out “sick”... — read more
Title Promotions
sooo who are the lucky ones that got to become an AVP today
Biggest layoffs ever
February
We're just numbers to them
Let's be real: we're livestock to management. We're here to be worked, monitored, and eventually culled when we're too expensive. Our "value" is fixing old mistakes to avoid penalties. The goal is shareholder value, not employee well-being or... — read more
Global risk management
Has anyone heard about the hiring freeze in global risk management?
Best Quarter! Best Year! Where the money going?
BM: We had a best quarter and best year! WTF..worst pay hike, bonus and RSU’s ever. Where the money going?
Still no convo
Since it’s Thursday, I guess my manager is just fully committed to avoiding me about my merit/bonus conversation.
Layoffs target 15%
Q1 and Q2
Sharing success
Anyone else’s excited for their Sharing Success award! Such a thoughtful thing our company does, rewarding us with a whopping 65 units…. The RSUs and cash bonuses are pathetic. Meanwhile, BM (Bowel Movement) unloads nearly 17k shares for just under... — read more
They never care
If the schools are closed for icy roads why isn’t the bank closing? They don’t care about our safety. Almost spun out completely. Have to come into office for my 3 days though 🤡
Major layoffs on Q1
Everybody be prepared
Teams voice recognition
Has anyone created a voice recognition profile on teams to suppress background noise?
No raise for 2026?
I have been working at The Bank for over a year now so this is my first time being eligible for a raise. I started in August 2024. Did anybody else not get a raise? I’m trying to understand if it’s just me or is it something that is quite common at... — read more
Best time for Sabbatical
What is the best time for Sabbatical considering YE performance reviews, compensation discussions and bonus decisions
Yea end bonus
When do they discuss year end bonus? Manager already discuss the new comp but not about the year end bonus.
Anyone ever get a bonus for a Meets/Not Meets????
Just curious! Could you possibly simply get a very low bonus since you still met some expectations? Most know what a tough place this is to work for many areas. If you are an employee who always got meets/meets and then one time its meets/does not... — read more
Compensation - Master Tracker
Good luck with your Comp discussions. Share details anonymously. LOB/Place/Band/EOY-Ratings/Pay-Incrase/Bonus (Ex; GBAM/NY/B3/M-M/+$5K/$11k)
Your skills are your safety net
Don't be naive and rely on this company. Use the training BofA offers to make yourself valuable to other employers. When you're in demand, a layoff notice isn't a crisis, it's an opportunity.
please post the tracking cycle weeks
HI - can someone who has access to the in office attendance tracking tool please let me know the week starts for the 6 week cycles? is Feb 1 2026 a cycle start?
Searching for an exit
I'm actively looking for a new role and sending out applications weekly. This place is notably worse than any other bank I've worked for. The overall environment is just not functional.
Merit and bonus
Seems like they taking their time this year. Anyone heard anything yet? Curious to see how bad it is.
Server Lag
Does anyone know if the server Lag for those working from home compared to those in the office? It's been super slow today and it started around 9am.
Job Posting Slop
WTF is up with your job reqs? Applied for a job (perfect quals on paper), went through Recruiter screening then to hiring manager (a B3) interview. Job description they provided was nothing like the posting nor what the Recruiter described.
How does in-office compliance tracking work?
I've noticed several people commenting about the need to be in the office 4 out of 6 weeks. Don't managers get notified each week when someone isn't meeting the 3-day office requirement? How are people able to use the reporting period workaround?
Biggest layoffs ever is coming
