    Throwaway because I don't wanna dox myself.

    In an effort to make Bank of America more competitive as an employer, Moynihan said he raised wages. Total compensation expenses for the bank grew 10% last year

    I haven't gotten a raise since early 2021, and it was just a typically low raise, same as previous years (as in, pre pandemic). Accounting for 2021's inflation, I'm currently making less than when I started working there. I've also gotten no bonus in 2020 or 2021.

    The bank’s attrition rate actually fell 50% earlier during the pandemic, he said, but it’s since rebounded to pre-COVID levels.

    Probably because they are trying to force us back into the office. My job can and has been done 100% from home, yet in his own words "we're a work from the office company", so they want to force us back.

    I was supposed to go back recently, but I got a somewhat vague message saying to "stay home until you're asked to come back", but that was after I was asked to come back, so I'm taking it as stay home and hope they forget to ask again.

    The only reason I haven't quit is because I've already been looking for a new job and I'm not sure I can even get one.

      I quit at the beginning of lockdown and it was the best thing I've done professionally. The B of A team I worked for was drastically underpaying us - I found out that other teams in a different city in my state with my same job title:

      Had 1/3 of the responsibilities

      Were paid at least 10k more

      Were a higher job band

      When I brought this up to management, they said they would do a "competitive salary analysis". This was in 2018. Straw that broke the camel's back was my direct manager telling me with a straight face "congratulations on the great raise, you really earned it!" the raise was $0.23 an hour.
