This may not be of interest to anyone, but when I went to the Tremont Street branch of Bank of America today I noticed that all the chairs had been removed. Apparently BOA is attempting to secure “Most Despicable Employer of the Year” award by making tellers stand or kneel all day, regardless of whether or not any customers are present. This just strikes me as an unnecessarily draconian power play by a huge financial institution that makes most of its profits through usurious fees and charges.
Please share widely!
…about the way that Bank of America treats its employees, I wonder why this doesn’t surprise me?

…standing in one position for a lenght of time is not as good for the legs (blood tends to settle). If people walk around more than a bit, standing is probably not so bad.

BTW, on the subject of the post, I would really question whether BoA bothered to remove chairs that it already owned on its own motion. Why would it bother doing that? BoA already owned the chairs.
Your guess is as good as mine on that, raj. If you’re really concerned about the veracity of the story, however, you could always call the branch on Monday.
…since you brought the subject up, and you are the one who made the slur against BoA based merely on the lack of chairs, that you should call the BoA branch and ask why the chairs were not there at the branch.

Your post made no sense–for reasons that I explained–and now you are suggesting that I do your follow up work when I call you on it.

There are plenty of reasons to criticize BoA–primarily their excessive fees and niggardly interest rates. But criticizing corporations for things like this is silly. And it gives lefties a bad reputation.
