Your Voice, Your Vote... Unless You Work at a Bank - How Big Banks Claim to Allow Employees Time Off to Vote, Yet Shame Them For Doing So

<p><strong>Election Day is 8 days away as of the recording of this podcast.</strong></p> <p><strong>No matter who you vote for, I support your American duty to VOTE! (Vote Often in Chicago...Kidding)</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Big Banks claim to support your right to vote too, offering up to 3 paid hours for voting time per "eligible employee" at Bank of America.<br> So.. What makes an employee "eligible"?<br> <br> <br> Manager approval is needed to go be able to vote during work hours, but on the busy 3rd of the month and with short staffs on the branch, I will get into how managers will use this time to dissuade their employees from voting during bank hours or chastising employees for not voting absentee, voting early or voting when they were off.<br> <br> I share a story about the 2014 Midterm elections about how I wasn't allowed to vote because it was our "outbound call night" where we were supposed to coax customers into making appointments the next day/week. To be fair, I just called my burner phone, and I never bothered any clients at night at home.</strong></p> <p><em><strong>Long Story Short, Banks only portray that they are caring American companies allowing their people to do their civic duty.
