Thread regarding Bank of America layoffs

Good one

The work from home concept is from an age gone by, when productivity and innovation really mattered! Now, breaking down the silos and complete transparency is the norm where everyone can see, hear, and know exactly what everyone else is doing so those precious work minutes are not lost on any unaccountable task no matter how useless. Kind of like being in the old Soviet Union, or East Germany, where socialist values created a supposed Nirvana, just look how that ended up; so how will this turn out?

PMs are Useless!!

Ask Craig Larman

You weren't in tech then... Us contrating PM's are doing slave labor.

As a contractor I sometimes worked 15hrs

:)

Loop holes.. You mean like laying folks off. Then hiring them back as contractors so they don't have to pay benefits??? That loop hole??? Just lay them off every year for a few months then bring them back in. Some just remain contractors indefinitely. Those fools work 60 hours but can only charge for 40, yet they do it just to have jobs with being hired as an FTE carrot over their heads. Cant blame the company for those id--ts.

Absolutely, positively correct! I got caught up in that myself...Manager no longer wanted the older worker (me) so said "can't be a MyWork associate anymore, must go into an office". Found no room in any offices within 50 miles of me because my team was not hq'd anywhere in my part of the country. So tried to get another job in the Bank...nope. Manager got frustrated so stopped giving me work, raises and bonuses over three years. I looked for other jobs but was told "not hiring anyone outside of a hub city". After three years...got the layoff call. Found out that week it was really because there was a 30-something my manager wanted to promote but could not as long as I was in the position. Very glad I don't work in this ridiculous company anymore!!

Boycott

American Greed. This is how Americans treat each other.

That's absolutely true. I hear those suburban folks are the best.

The innovation coming the suburbs is outstanding 😂🤣

That's the reason the most technologically advanced companies are setting up shop in the suburbs (NOT)..... They want to be close to the talent which happens to be in the suburbs...... 😂😂😂

Why don't you say what you really Mean?

Spot on. Don't forget GOVT subsidies for hiring inner city folk. Our "diversification" strategy, hiring foreign workers, has all of corporate America less loyal to it's American workers. Hell, who in GT&O doesn't have accent these days?

Get out while u can. I did

Agreed, and then they throw in the "open work concept" to further weed out the older folks.

Those companies have 1 thing in common.
