Kevin Flanagan was a computer programmer who worked for The Bank of America in Concord, California, USA.
Flanagan shot himself to death in the parking lot of Bank of America's Concord Technology Center (which has been put up for sale by BofA in 2011)[1] after he and colleagues were laid off in April 2003.[citation needed] The lay-offs were due to the company replacing many IT employees with guest-workers who could do the job for less pay. This change included informing the laid-off employees that the remainder of their tenure was to be spent training their replacements.
The Concord bank office has been the site of multiple protests.
