I hope one of those let go by BOA is the sob that kept telling me my accounts were closed with them, and then billing me maintenance costs, overdrafts to pay those maint costs and on and on....
They had it set up so they would charge you a processing fee on your final payment to close an account....you could NEVER be done with them..took months for them to finally get the message...mailing me international postage rates of 90 cents to tell me I had 8 cents my account....
I don't recommend BOA to anyone...get out while you can, IF you can.

Merry Christmas to you and yours from Bank of America...
I don't feel so lonely while looking for a job and waiting at home for a phone call.

Banks get bailed out while people working there get shafted

what really sucks is that the jobs lost are at the bottom of the ladder.
the ones that REALLY should go are the people at the top.

You are a meanie, Soundboy! How can the executives get their bonuses if they don't lay off the pee-ons.
Oh, and don't lay offs mean the stock will go up?

I foresee more home foreclosures in Charlotte. I'm sure the lakefront properties will be fine, though.

I predicted the fall of WaMu and Citigroup on this very blog many weeks in advance.
Do you really want to know my prediction on BofA?

Another "too big to fail" situation? Ha.

It's an interesting story, the BofA story. I was a happy customer of a small town central Florida bank called Barnette's. I knew the tellers by name, visited with them regularly, and conducted my business without disruption or worry. Then came deregulation. Barnette's was bought out by National who screwed up accounts, misplaced files, charged fees that did not apply, and slapped bullet proof glass cages over the tellers.
Then the tellers whom I'd known for many years left banking to persue other options and a passel of very attractive undergraduates from the local state university took up tellering. It makes a nice hobby for them, apparently, but they don't have any real understanding of what to do so receipts get misplaced and 20 dollar bills get miscounted.
Then Bank of America bought out Nations Bank. And the same story plus ATM machines that don't always work. In fact, just yesterday, the ATM machine on the right didn't work and the ATM machine on the left wasn't responding to punched in numbers. I went into the lobby to tell the lobby person who speaks with an faux BBC accent about the problem. She said she'd call it in immediately.
I got in line to transact my business with a teller and noticed that the lady with the faux BBC accent didn't do any phone work, she just stood there and gazed into space the whole time I was there. At last, my business done, I left. No sense making eye contact or saying anything to a vegetable pretending to hold down a human job. And that's today's update on the Bank of America as it presents itself on the customer service front effective Monday of this week.
Bankruptcy might be a good option. I worry about Homeland Security though, where will they ship the human vegetable who speaks with the faux BBC accent?
