I think the worst of it is the disrespect, bring treated as if we are so stupid we won't notice that they contradict themselves. I'd have more respect for her if she just admitted they messed up and told us what the mywork fiasco was really all about because it doesn't make sense.
It was initially part of bofa 's green initiative because Charlotte is so polluted, they needed to get commuters off the road. It was also part of work/ life balance and attracting good talent. And let's not forget, the savings from no longer having to lease office space.
So, what changed? It's not about having people collaborate, because they are separating everyone out through their torturous fake automation processes and teams, and workers are still spread across the US and across the globe.
So how does this fit in with new bofa... It certainly is more expensive to have employees in the office.. unless the ultimate goal is to eventually outsource and automate everyone's job. Get everyone in, document what they do, have them train and automate their #h1b replacements.
Employees are no longer valued assets. The race to the bottom has begun.
