- Bank of America denies the claims and says it will contest them.

## Summary

Robert Zullo, a former Bank of America senior vice-president, alleges he was forced to resign after the bank treated his caregiving and work-location arrangements differently from those of a younger Black colleague. His lawsuit claims discrimination based on age and race; the bank says the allegations are false and that it will fight them.

Zullo says he moved from Charlotte to Albany to care for his ill mother and, from July 2024, worked intermittently from the Albany office with his manager’s verbal approval. He alleges he was later placed on a performance improvement plan after seeking leave and permission to relocate, while the colleague was allowed to move to New Jersey and was promoted. The complaint, filed in federal court in North Carolina, also says a manager threatened that Zullo would be out within 30 days and would never work in banking again.
