#workday

A friend of mine's brother coaches college sports. The nature of that job means getting 'let go' every 3-5 years, always around the holidays. It's a brutal job. My friend lost their job a few years back and called her brother for advice. She told me this...

Routine is key. You're going to want to spend every moment of every day looking for your next job, fight that urge. Your new job is finding your best job. To be your best, you need rest, you need down time, you need exercise. Take 3-4 days to lounge and de-stress. Then make a list of small house projects. Then put your schedule together. Your day should include no more than 4 hours looking for your next job. It needs to include a workout and something for your family. When those things are done each day, don't feel guilty for watching TV or enjoying your free time. Stay positive, we all get the silent treatment from potential employers along the way.

Hope it helps.

We usually start doing our year end this time of the year in Workday. Somehow the performance review form is not available online. My manager asked everybody to write up performance review in a document this morning and send it to him. Very strange

Capital One offices and amenities now open on Fridays. They are totally doing that because SOO many people want to drive in Fridays 🙃. Get ready for full time RTO

....download your Workday profile, also pay stubs, and IDP to a personal device before Tuesday...

Does anyone else think it absolutely su-ks? Seems like it is always down.

Go into workday, under your profile somewhere there is a documents option. Find your old reviews (they go back as far as 2018),download them, and email them your home email. They’ll be invaluable for utilizing ChatGPT to help with your resume.

Received workday tasks this morning. Self evaluation (which feels weirdly early) and another about updating your veteran/disability status? Maybe I’m freaking out for no reason but is this a sign of anything

Anyone know?

1) Does the 8 hours count working with offshore at night? If no, I'll ignore them till next morning

2) Does putting in extra hours on weekends help?

3) Is 5-6 hours + 2-3 hours office + home acceptable? Bridgets email does indicate so.

We can now send and recover feedback via workday!

If anyone hasn’t noticed yet, leave allotments in workday now have a “approved bank” amount where it looks like it’s being propped for an accrued PTO type of situation. Rumor is that other benefit changes, such as our unlimited PTO and overall flexibility is going to change for the worse.

They arrive at 8am and leave around 2:30 for daycare pickup but never see them back online or available for any meetings later in day. How do people get away with this!? My workload would not allow that.

Layoffs to stand following $1.1B AI acquisition

Activist investors have taken a $2 billion stake in Workday, signaling approval of its direction and saying they "look forward to continued collaboration with the company."

I swipe in, do exactly what’s needed, and leave. Used to stay late, used to hustle, but not anymore. Every month the bare minimum gets a little lower because the company’s shown me they couldn't care less about us.

Wondering if that's a soft ask/getting feedback for those they think might be open for voluntary layoffs........

What does INP stand for against someone's name in Workday?

there used to be a report in Workday you could check out, but it looks like it's gone now

this whole bs thing started in what, early March or so? I went in MAYBE 3 days/week but averaged out more like 1-2/week lol. I was told by my manager that I should probably start going in more to stay off a "list," so i did. I'd go swipe my badge and drive the hour commute back home.

Then the whole manager reorg happened and my new "manager" is pi---d about the RTO as well. He basically told me - without saying it - that if i want to just badge in and go straight back home, then i can.

I live an hour from the office and got tired of the drive. I put in for a medical exception for something and was granted 6 months. So, I haven't been to the office since I think early April now?

Are they still monitoring this cr-p? Because in my last 1x1 he didn't say a thing about it.

You can still see your badge swipe totals in workday, but is that even being monitored anymore?

If you go into your MyHR - personal information and expand the employment history section do you see anything that says your “Transfer - GL account code change”?What does this mean? Mine says as of 8/10/25. I have not got any increase or change in my job.
