People, who said they were former Bank of America employees, alleged that their supervisors drove them to burden consumers with needless debt and fees, to fatten the bank’s earnings and the paychecks of senior executives, and threatened to retaliate if they complained.
Some complained their salaries had been too low and that they had to hit quotas.
