Bank of America has sent what it calls “letters of education” to employees who have not been showing up at the office, warning them of disciplinary action as big lenders have been pushing to restore workplaces to a semblance of pre-pandemic norms.
One of the messages said its recipient had failed to meet the bank’s “Workplace Excellence Guidelines” for work location “despite requests and reminders to do so”.
“Failure to follow the workplace excellence expectations applicable to your role within two weeks of the date of this notification may result in further disciplinary action,” according to the text of the letter that a BofA employee posted online. A bank spokesperson said the text was consistent with the warning letters that have been sent, without verifying their exact contents.
