How are they accurately measuring these? My coworker runs outside 6 times a day so does each time he badges in count towards his 12 day a month requirement? Does reporting show like 40 badge swipes?

Please be nice to the person you are working with! We want to help you! We have been given a directive that we are expected to follow. We are doing our best but volumes are high due to the new 8 hour requirement. Thank you.

Several of us are in the same situation. We all declined to relocate. Does anyone have any experience with approximately how long it took before they received the severance DocuSign email?

3 days per week, working 8 continuous hours a day. I heard it. Did you?

Do they cap it? Let's say someone worked here 40 years?

Has anyone been able to get unemployment benefits when voluntarily quitting? Is this an option. Asked ChatGPT but it answers differently every time I ask it.

Importing labor or importing goods, what's the difference?

There is no difference.

Good jobs are sent oversee and only execs and hedge funds benefit.

Stop destroying our worker and our country because of your greed.

Do they only confirm dates of employment and titles/salaries or has anyone known of an instance where they shared more (like reason for termination)? Thanks!

What's the rule for this or just point me where to look as I am unable to locate the information? I was planning to leave anyway but I'd rather take severance and my PTO.

People are rumbling at the support center about a change in bonus, making it a long-term incentive or something like that. Does anyone have a communication summary on that? I think it only went to Sr. Managers and up.

Req that was posted yesterday says “for all hires in Minneapolis, Virginia, Maryland, or Washington DC”. You will be required 4 days in office.

Has anyone heard for sure if exempt (professional and managers) are part of the 8 hour RTO requirement? It’s odd that exempts are not paid for working a specific number of hours, yet they’re requiring it by proxy through this RTO policy. I see that becoming a labor issue.

To be announced to certain groups on Friday.

Calendar abnormality or another way to sc--w over employees? Please discuss…

New PTO changes -

Most employees will not see any changes to their PTO accrual minimums or PSWD carryover maximums, and no employee will have fewer PTO or PSWD as a result of this change.  

· Illinois- and Nevada-based employees will have higher minimum PTO accruals (from 80 hours minimum to 104), while employees in California, Colorado, and Montana will have higher minimum PTO accruals (from 80 hours to 104) and higher PTO carryover maximums (up to 216 hours).  

So a big - 🖕🖕🖕🖕 we don’t think you’re worthy Texas folks.

Just got out of a meeting with a couple members of leadership. Announcement to come towards the end of October.

TL;DR:

The Trump administration terminated about $100 million in grant funding for the Ascend Elements battery plant in Kentucky.

Construction at the company's site is paused but is expected to restart in 2026.

Ascend Elements stated the grant termination does not change its trajectory and it will seek other funding sources.

Now that layoffs are starting when we hear on policy changes

It would seem obvious that the WARN Act will be dismantled shortly since the bill was introduced by a senator who would be shunned today, and passed by a completely different type of congress than we see today. Not surprisingly Reagan did not sign the bill.
No question today's administration will ensure corporations have as much power to layoff as many workers without so much as a grunt. Removing guardrails meant to protect employees is their goal. Pay attention.

I keep hearing that terms I reno became permanent. Also heard throughout california. How can I become permanent? How does that work? My local said unlikely but I can confirm Rwno nevada did it a few months ago. What's the workaround? If they allowed it it should be the norm now.

we have a state of emergency in the state and Jsoc still hasn't called for WFH for all. This is gonna be like July all over again.

We are asked to volunteer for different locations or functions but they do not ask you to volunteer as most managers are forced you do not have a choice.The only ones who have a choice are contractor like companies and such

Does Fiserv require 5 days a week in the office ?

For the same job role in the same group, some are remote, and some are required 4 full days.

My Boss Said The Company Is No Longer Gonna Pay For My Mobile Phone starting January 1. Has anyone else heard this rumor? Is this true?

Take time to review your medical selections carefully because it looks like a lot of little changes have been made and some may or may not affect you. Please read the options carefully. ChatGPT can also help you select the best option for you and your family.

I've witnessed hundreds of families being tear down as their jobs being replaced by H1B and OPT visas.
This should stop and Ford should stop hiring H1B, H4, OPTand other phony visas out there.

I’ve noticed some people seem to have a lot of flexibility like taking walks, longer lunch breaks to go to the gym, playing pool, or spending time on their phones. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, it’s great they have that balance but I’m just curious how that works here. Does our company track productivity in any specific way?

What tools is Truist using to keep an eye on what employees are doing on Truist laptops? Some departments have Sapience, but I've heard there are other tools being utilized. Anyone know what else is being used and which departments are using them?

Im retired SF! I went to play golf with a buddy today with an 11 am Tee time. So get in the cart and glance to my left where I see a TM on his laptop while drinking a bloody Mary complaining how weak the drink is. I told my golf partner. He walked over to him and asked him if he worked for SF. My partner came back to me and confirmed he worked for SF. My partner asked how does he get away with it. I replied: Just like government since covid this is the WFH we have. My buddy shook his head and said: UNBELIEVABLE!

Please make sure you read the details of the 2026 medical plan benefits. Cigna is adding a $55.38 per pay period surcharge if your spouse is eligible for insurance through their employer.

They are promoting a capped increase of no more than 5% but that does not take into account the spousal surcharge.

Do we keep our vacation time and PTO is flex or is all paid time off flex starting next year?

Stores to start processing Amazon returns in an effort to drive foot traffic to the stores. Amazon customers will also receive a 5% off coupon when they return an item.

Can anyone share the timing on when merit and RRP funding is decided and when funding levels get communicated down the chain of command?

Or maybe there will be no communication because there won't be any funding this year?

No new ideas so let's just keep flip-doing back and forth on things that don't matter.

I'm sure there are gonna be a bunch of 2s given out, though, to send the message that Bill Brown thinks you su-k but we're not ready to fire you just yet.

Says the executive living in a multimillion-dollar home just 30 minutes from Deerfield, with a $100,000 car parked in a heated garage. If I were making $500,000 a year, I’d probably enjoy the daily commute in a brand-new Mercedes too.

If executives truly want camaraderie, perhaps they should rent city apartments and commute alongside us - waiting for buses and trains together this February when it’s -15 degrees with windchill would certainly build solidarity.

The truth is, we already proved during Covid that collaboration doesn’t depend on geography. Microsoft Teams and instant communication make it possible to deliver on time and at a high standard. To suggest otherwise is 100% disingenuous.

I was genuinely hoping for more detail on RTO during this afternoon’s Town Hall. Instead, it was barely mentioned. But at least now I know how many kids our executives have and which sports teams they root for - that’s exactly the information I needed to finally sleep soundly tonight.

All software and IT teams who are more contractually required to be US based will be required to be at 70 pct offshore. No rehired in US until achieved and R required otherwise.

I hate the sound of it. In theory it is unlimited PTO. In reality you could be passive aggressive marginalized for taking PTO. I’d rather have my fixed number of days I can take with impunity.

Listening to the Townhall now, leadership turned off the user comments on the video. Surely, leadership knew the text chain would be a constant barrage of employees stating they do NOT want to return to office at Deerfield.
