Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly take a deep dive into the toxic workplace culture at Bank of America (BoA) around hours worked by junior employees, in spite of senior management saying the right things. BoA’s investment banking division has long been plagued by a toxic work culture, characterized by overworked junior employees and severe health crises, despite repeated assurances of reform. Tom Matt discuss these pervasive issues within BoA’s work environment. Fox highlights the tragic consequences of this toxic culture, such as the deaths of junior employees, and criticizes the company's failure to implement effective reforms, attributing this to a lack of accountability and ethical leadership. Kelly echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the necessity for senior management to set clear expectations and consequences for middle managers who perpetuate unethical behavior. Both stress the need for senior management to address the deep-seated cultural dysfunction, impose consequences, and foster a healthier, rule-abiding workplace to prevent further tragedies and promote employee well-being.
