Bank of America credit card charge off department closing down shocked many, and still raises disturbing questions as to why this happen. Everyday I attended work I notice that many other associates were always using sick days and had numerous vacation days that they were taking on a certain managers team not only did they have a substantial amount of sick and vacation days that were being taken. However this particular team was also being promoted to other departments. I decided to apply for a position at the bank I was declined due to having too many sick days being used and attendance issues. A couple days later I was approach by a manager asking me to come to his desk when I was done with my call. While I was on my call my mind was racing with so many thoughts wanting to know why he wanted me to come to his desk. Finally I was done with the call I walk over, and he offered to remove my sick days for a fee, so that I would be able to promote. I denied the offer and walk back to my desk. By the time I reached my desk there was a message sent from him saying not to say anything to keep that between the two of us, and if not he has dirt on me. After a few weeks or so I talk to a good co-worker of mine about the incident and she told me that he offered her the same thing and she denied the offer as well, but the manager started making it uncomfortable for her to work. I told her that I wouldn't go forward with telling anyone being that I was too disturbed by the manager I also asked for her not to tell anyone that he had approach me. A day later I got a phone call from her telling me she talk to our personnel department not informing me that she was going to mention my name. At that point I was force to be honest and tell everything I knew or my job was on the line. Meanwhile I'm waiting to be called to give my statement being told I wouldn't be in any trouble. A couple weeks later our department was closed down. During the few weeks learned that there were at least twenty associates who purchase time off from the manager and there job were terminated. This experience has thought me so much I've learned that sometimes it's better to keep quiet, and also glad that I passed on purchasing the sick time that could have cost me my job. It's better to do things the right way. So even if there are some negative and positive out of this situation it was something I could learn from.
