Thread regarding Bank of America layoffs

Four good weeks out of every six-week reporting period.

Could someone please clarify how the “4 good weeks out of 6” policy is measured? If it is tied to the 3‑days‑in‑office requirement, does that mean I would only need to be in the office 12 days over a 6‑week period (4 weeks × 3 days)?

Our team provides 24/7 global support, with all communication conducted electronically and no in‑person interaction required—especially for my role. My workday does not begin at 8 AM nor end at 5 PM, and weekend coverage is a regular part of the schedule. Despite consistently meeting or exceeding performance expectations, I have not received a meaningful salary increase in years, and I cannot afford to live near the office.

For me personally, the 40‑hour monthly commute is unpaid, non‑productive time that could otherwise be spent on work or on personal recovery. As a result, the in‑office requirement feels fundamentally misaligned with the remote, round‑the‑clock nature of the role.

@qz Yes, but will it still exist starting Sep 14?

Yes, the 4 out of 6 weeks exist. I saw it last Thursday. Guy sitting next to me showed it to me and was explaining it. He basically maps out what weeks he comes in.

@OP you seem well meaning, but I do not think the 4 out of 6 weeks was meant to be minimally complied with. At least in my skip level's team, this was never communicated and no one knows the calendar exists unless browsing websites like this one. The expectation is up to your manager.

@a1 The grass is always greener on the other side. I’ve worked at other highly rated companies, and each had its pros and cons. I genuinely enjoy working with my team, and while I’ve had much more exciting roles in the past, that’s no longer what I’m seeking. I’m not complaining—I simply hope the firm can support me in continuing to do what I do best. I’m sure many others here can relate to this as well.

@OP We’ll probably never know for sure whether or not the 4 out of 6 exists, just like we’ll never know for sure the minimum number of hours that are expected. I assume the 4/6 does exist, and that the minimum is 6 hours. But unfortunately those aren’t safe assumptions.

The best move is to start looking for another job elsewhere in this situation.
