#office

Working at the hubs is way better than Bloomington. fewer execs to su-k up to, nobody cares if you leave early. People are just way more laid back in general. hundreds of other employers in the area in case SF doesn't work out.

The fact that people choose to live and work in Bloomington blows my mind. What happens if you get laid off? Where else can you work?

I know there was recently a change regarding what counts as in-office but can’t find the email. Do vacation days count as in-office days for a week or no? I only know the holidays no longer do, but not sure how vacation days are counted towards the 3.

I didn’t realize people were still working from Cleient Centers other than the client facing colleageuse. Have you all been going there to get your badge swipes or something? Or were you assigned there and the announcement about them revoking your badge access doesn’t even effect you anyways ?

Why are some departments allowed to have standing desks and others are not. I asked for one and was told we do not have it in the budget, but an old coworker that moved to a new position was able to get one.

Has anyone heard anything about set in office hours being put into place?

Can anyone tell what kind of watch D is wearing in the earnings video? And what ring is he wearing on his right hand?

Where is that conference room? In the cube? Looks swanky.

Let’s have some fun! Wrong answers only! I’ll start:

Arrogant Dou--ebag

Is today going to be a lighter day?

With winter coming up are we gonna get flagged if leaving early etc or as long as you swipe it’s fine?

Anyone know the model? Looking to buy one for home.

Legitimate news everyone!! Reports are back and actively being reviewed. Resources are expected to spend 7 hrs in office.

I’m guessing this could be next criteria.

Initially I've heard it was 15-30% reduction and based off articles I've read. Now I'm seeing and hearing from people in office it's going to be up to 50% of the entire work force. Is this true?

Any news for BG office ? Or we are safe ?

Rumor has it Roger doesn't link WFH or remote workers. Push coming soon for 5 days a week 8 to 5 for all and to force remote workers back in office or leave.

Should be fun

not fair!

Confused now how my sr director is remote and i am supposed to be in office 4 days a week ? idk 🤷‍♀️ thoughts

The Citi Workplace app is crashing after the latest iOS update. Download it and try booking your seats. When you can’t book one, you’ll have the perfect excuse not to come into the office next week.

Honestly, this organization is so stupid.

My director just met with my group about attendance. Seems the 25% minimum in office per your requirement is going to 50%. Not exactly sure when. Also, they are on to people who badge in and immediately leave. I heard some offices require you to badge out. More good times here.

Just fyi...hearing rumors HR is monitoring time in office and taking action without notifying management for people spending less than 2h in office.

this has been going around and around, but passing along again

Manager just forwarded us the email from leadership

Fiserv tax incentives for the BH office

Are they monitoring total time spent in the office, or is badge-swipe activity sufficient regardless of hours logged?

Westlake - Full RTO announcement coming end Q1. All non-client facing associates are required back in full time in Q3. They will be renting a building in Plano and will designate certain teams to the site.

I am new to campus. I can’t find anywhere to sit! Every time I sit down in a desk people scowl at me and eventually walk over and say that is so and so’s desk or this neighborhood is for so and so’s group only. I went to my supervisor and they told me to just sit anywhere but wherever I sit I am told I do not belong there. Why doesn’t anyone admit this open seating experiment is a huge failure? My supervisor and manager sit in the same desk every day and clearly “lead by example”

Gotta make sure the ctc building has state of the art LED’s

For those of us who have not been there. What exactly is this other than office space and people? The video promos make it look very futuristic, cutting hedge CIA/MI5 type vibe, keen to understand what it looks and feels like and is it locked down, restricted access etc and as military grade as they are making out.

I've been hearing rumors about 5 days in the office starting in January from people in different parts of Ford. Any insights on this?

Of employees time in time out time on laptop time off patio if they use co pilot if they don’t use co pilot?
Asking for s friend

I see more and more job postings with Houston as the primary or secondary location. What do we think is going to happen long term? Do we really need three offices?

We were just informed this morning that because TPS as a whole isn’t making the 60% we are directed to come in 65-70% the rest of the year to make up for it. So because a few people aren’t making their numbers that want the entire org to show up. Literally punishing people who are doing the right thing to make the numbers look better. What the ever loving fu-k

Some people are saying some of us will be in a new office by next March. How would we know if we’re destined to go to a new office? Doesn’t Abby know about the serious gang of Waraq that runs that town?

I see it all the time people leaving with all their stuff after lunch in the office? Hard to be believe they got here at 4 am or 5 am. On my team we not only have to be here 8 hours they track our computer activity too! Seriously which teams should I be applying to?

Anyone heard any rumors about when Westlake RTO will take place? And if they are leasing more space?

Anyone know what is going on with Outlook? Can’t seem to get any updates or answers from management.

Since this company loves RTO and in-person “collaboration” are there any plans to build a new regional site? Would a new campus possibly be built somewhere closer to civilization and not in the backwoods of NH or KY?

So after a year, they finally made “eligible” work events count as days in office lmao. This is the current state of this company…..so delusional that they think this is a win worth bragging about.

I can’t be the only one at HP who is sick of hearing the same instrumental songs playing on repeat. Tell me I’m not alone

What happened today? I'm OOO and my boss text me asking if I could join a meeting.

I am hearing they’ve changed the tracking for in office hours to time connected to the network. Does anyone know if this is true? So if I come into the office and badge in at 8am and spend the first half of the day on the phone with the help desk because I can’t log in those four hours don’t count? I had thought it was badge in/out time?
