#office

Today is the day that many folks in SP1 are moving offices. What is the intent of the office building reshuffles? Will space be sublet out or is this just to free up space for future growth?

After seeing so may posts on here about for people getting fired for coffee badging now I’m confused. I understand people who would only swipe their badge and turnaround immediately, but si don’t get why people who stay here for 6 hours would be considered coffee badging. I try to stay at least 6 hours at the office when I go in, but sometimes I like to spend only the mornings there and come back during lunch. If I do this wouldn’t get fired?

3 floors in the Cypress CA location are up for lease. Not good.

Having not one second of privacy is bad for women:
While wearing a skirt or dress you have to constantly be aware of how you are sitting.
No privacy when standing up and adjusting your clothes. Pull and adjust in front of everyone.
With open floor plan someone can stare at you all day and there’s nothing you can do, if you even notice. T has nasty twerps working there just like any other place.
I’ve seen men standing just outside of my view then averting their eyes and walking away when I turned my head.
The stress of always being on display is getting to be too much.
To scratch anywhere everyone has to walk to a conference room or the restroom.
We need at least the mini cubicles for a bit of respect for our humanity.

Hi there, former employee for about 8 years. I got laid off last year.

This might sound random but I want to send a former coworker a present, and I don’t have his home address. If I sent it to the RR1 office with his name, would it make it to him that way?

AC not working in Burlington everyone is complaining, its so miserable. We're all jammed into these smaller rooms I'm sure all the body heat is not helping. How about let us leave an hr early instead of having this 1 hr social hr!!! The A side is working of course because no one is working over there.

People at my area, secure, with same people , picking same desk are now coming in Friday. Leave computer on over weekends, come in early Monday.

The 2 days on weekends count

Earth day eh? They encourage people to to leave laptop on all day and drive to work

I'm not going to waste time going on and on about the same things but who is actually going in to work at 8/9 and staying till 5pm? Obviously RTO 5 days means working from the office all 5 days but there's no way in he-l the majority is willingly going to go from WFH to now commuting to an office just to sit there for 8 hours.

This is a true story. Had been working through an issue with the help of the TPO. As it was almost wrapped up, about ten weeks later, I reached back out via email to the person who had assisted. As the email was being typed, the Out of Office message caught my eye. It said, Hello, I am unavailable to answer your email because I no longer work for FIS as of (their layoff date here). Please contact (email point) for further assistance. Great work. Bob, nicely done. Did you make that person write their OOO message or did someone have to go along and add to everyone whose career you ended?

I've seen it mentioned here, and the same rumor has been going around the office.

With the new RTO tracking being through IP and not swipes, has anyone heard anything about if changing location from hub to branch would be an option? The excuse used to be that it couldn’t be tracked.

Sorry lads

So I’m guessing the bank went back to assigned seating? I’ve been out on sabbatical and just returned to our new space, but all of the seats appear to be assigned and I have no idea where I should randomly sit.

It doesn’t feel good to start my day like this every morning, trying to search for a place to sit that isn’t near the break room. But I’m told all the other spaces are neighborhoods. I can’t continue to take calls from a desk next to the break room so people keep asking me to go on mute because I hear all the noise, but then I have to forget to go off mute to start talking and lose my opportunities to speak up. This is ridiculous.

Those teams sitting in a neighborhood who are not on the phone all day. Need to have their dedicated seating over here. I don’t know how they got away with giving them the prime seats.. but I can’t continue working like this and I will be figuring out a way to work from home if this continues.

people at the nyc office really need to learn how to flush the toilet...

Are people really in the office 5 days a week or is there flexibility/WFH allowed?

What’s up with word floating around that the in office requirement is being updated to 9 hours for the day to count?

So it seems somewhat apparent that the writing is on the wall , RE is pricey in NJ (Northeaast) , and with little innovation coming out of NJ how long before execs order everyone to GA or TX , anyone have any credible info. With everyone consolidating into one building in Middletown and the recent more to a different facility in Bedminister, it seems like just arranging the deck chairs...

At the Pleasanton office. Every day I am surrounded by self-entitled D-Bags. These people really think they are better than everyone and look down at you. There are also many D-Bags at the Santa Clara office too. Hopefully with continued lay-offs at Pleasanton and Santa Clara Oracle gets rid of more of the D-Bags.

My hub doesn’t have coffee pods or tea bags, nothing. Bring your own coffee, tea bags,and bottled water.
‘So cheap

Is this just my hub or bank policy to not even offer free coffee pods and tea bag…not even water other than from the sink

I see people coming into the office before lunch and leave office before 3 pm. Sometimes it makes me wonder if they are really "working." I also see people in their office glue to their work computer for HOURS with the lights OFF = ALL of them were SAFE on this round. Maybe we should follow their pattern to survive

Do managers also have to work the full eight hours in the office? I’ve noticed that some mid-level managers spend less than eight hours there.

While scheduling a meeting I noticed some coworkers’ roles had that string added to their role. Does anyone here know what it means?

What gives? Anyone know of a plan to resolve the congestion in the near future?

Where does it say what counts as a day in the office? The 4 hours in the faq is NOT for that formula.

I am going to take my chance and continue 4 hours in office and 4 hours at home to.

Anyone else taking that risk that 4 hours won’t count or just me?

I say f it. Going to risk it all. 8 hours in office sitting by myself makes no sense

And those in other offices too, are you being ask to relocated to Bellevue, WA as well?

What are ways to in all technicality adhere to RTO rules to the letter, without breaking rules, but still fighting the micromanagement mandates?

Some Ideas
Boycott TTUS

Log into office early (in office IP tracking) and run errands in the morning. Long lunch breaks while logged in.

Requiring your manager to attend all meetings in conference rooms (in person collaboration is important!)

Being in office only the exact minimum required. Tbd - maybe 6.5 hours?

Switching seats every day with reservations in Reserve me and kicking people out of their seat they forgot to reserve

It would be a shame if someone brought one of those fa-t sprays and it accidentally went off or if someone accidentally left fresh fish they had planned for lunch in a drawer over a weekend.

Does anyone know of any formal policy that prohibits employees from bringing a walking pad (electric treadmill) to campus to use under their desk? I have a dedicated spot, so no hot desking involved. Or is this a classic situation of “ask forgiveness, not permission” ?

I didn’t fully connect the dots a couple weeks ago but our leader made sure we saw the update to the in office goal on Workday, and that it meant full days which was at least 6 hours. I didn’t think much of it until yesterday when we saw all of the discrepancies. The tracked number is over 6 hours which they will never tell you because they want 8.

I know of at least 2 people in our office, but there are probably more.

Today’s the day where some slacker always shows up to say the presence report is wrong. What gives? Is he on spring break?

Anyone else had their manager ask if they were interested in possibly taking a buyout. This is happening in some out of region nts/abfs. Offices ?

Work 6 hours in office, leave to beat traffic.
Work 2 hours at home to get my 8 hours day.

Does that count as 1 day in office?

Many people are saying if you work in the office and then work at home same day, they won’t count as a 1 day in office???

Anyone have any word on what's going on with the Richardson building they acquired last year? I'm hearing some buildings in the Dallas area are going to be closed and the employees in those buildings will have to report to the Richardson location.

Long time Dell person here (20 years). I'm looking at applying for a job with AWS in Austin. Curious what the culture is like. And I get it...one devil to another. But I am single income house and need to afford to live and save. And for what it is worth I am okay with going into an office 5 days a week. Just curious how it's done at AWS Austin.

Some questions:
Are desks/cubes assigned?
Do cubes have walls at least?
5 days on-site or hybrid?
Do they track badge scans openly? (Dell does...created a tool for us too)

What is the review cycle like? Annual? Are there bonuses tied to annual review? What do percentages look like?

Anything else I should know?

I just looked up my information in teams. My business address is now listed as “Bassett”. There is no town near me with this name or that has a UHC building. Does anyone know what this means? I am a remote worker currently. Thanks in advance.
