B of A Employee Fired after HELPING Customers
(no good deed goes unpunished)

more: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/07/jackie-ramos-bank-of-amer_n_381940.html

Bank of America fired Jackie Ramos after she took a stand against the bank's $15 "convenience" charges and $39 over-the-limit fees so she could sleep better at night.

"There was something inherently evil about my job," the 23-year-old said in a YouTube video she uploaded on Nov. 27, two days after her termination.

Ramos, of Fairburn, Ga., worked as a "customer advocate," which involved calling people who fall behind on credit card payments and either encouraging them to pay or modifying their accounts. But not all customers qualify for modification programs that will help them, and Ramos grew tired of saying no after six months on the job.

"So I stopped denying people," said Ramos. "I helped people get on programs that they didn't necessarily qualify for but who definitely needed the help."

1. I spotted her problem right off She thought BOA would allow anyone to actually "help people".
They are only interested in squeezing every penny from everyone possible.

3. BOA is a leach,,,
my wife has been GS leader for our two daughters troops over the years. AT first her troop account was at BOA, where EVERY month, they charged her fees, which on a non-profit IS A BIG NO NO. Every month she would call them, get apologized to, get the fees removed and the next month the same damn thing.
She had me make a deposit for her today. I did not know what it was for until I got to our bank USBANK. It was for her troop,,,
