So there are managers and many employees in California who were hired remote before the mandate, are they required to go into office because a few women that work from there are always away running errands etc and they barely do anything

I know many useless tools that work remote. I also know many more useless tools that sit in the office. I also know many useless tools that work for our vendors. Their goal is most likely to cull the herd. There cover is RTO. The biggest part of the herd is in MSP. I sure they will come for everyone else eventually.
Our team deserves to work from home at Joshua tree on Fridays and not show up to test. They are the best at what they do.
@fg Nice job sewing division amongst MDT employees that work in different locations. Your comment is why people get the idea that MN employees believe they are above everyone else. You have no facts to support the statements you make. How about you re-read your posts before pushing the submit button?
Most employees are hard working. We all goof off sometimes and we certainly all work long hours in the name of patients.
You are having to RTO because GM and his minion leaders want to pack the buildings with underlings that will kiss his ring. I am sure we will continue to see remote workers included in the layoffs, just like folks in MN. Stop ur crying.
@ek precision selection is unfortunately not given the priority it deserves and I’m all for people that work from home and that actually care to do what they were assigned however, others working from different states are abusing this privilege and slacking on their job just because they were hired as remote workers. Why are Minnesotans required to go in office as mandatory while others elsewhere don’t
Clearly, some people who are work from home abuse the privilege, but then again, there are people in the office that goof off too. A good manager should be able to sense that a person isn’t as productive as they could be and take an action to improve it. I’m all for purging people that don’t/won’t do their jobs to the best of their abilities.
The work from home people I’ve personally worked with were very professional, productive, and in many instances outperformed their office peers, yet laid off in the last year with the only rationale being they were officially designated as work from home (that and they were on the payroll) and not given an option to work from the office. This is just plain ol’ bad decision making, but I’ve come to expect that from our leadership team.
Medtronic, if you need to layoff people, or increase profit, then do it, but please put some thought into who you let go. Honestly, there’s some easy pickins from what I’ve seen, that include useless and underperforming VPs and middle managers, clueless HR people, unnecessary “project managers”, people (men too) constantly taking maternity leave, people who leave early or spend half the day in the gym, engineers that just sign off on change orders without reviewing them, people who aren’t competent enough to handle their job, and the list goes on and on. Sorry if I offended anyone here, but you have to admit that precision selection for a layoff makes more sense than letting go of a hard working, talented and valuable resources with the only criteria being working out of a home office.
Mental health days are important.
1) these women you speak of, none of them have any leadership above them? they are unassigned to a team, have no governance or performance management? sounds like any issues are a level or three above these employees.
2) assuming your allegations are true, and a few workers aren't super devoted to working hard for this cesspool? good! the more people who can fleece this place, the better I like it. only a bootlicker would care.
@a1 obviously, they have their calendars blocked and also don’t attend meetings and make random stuff up. How long can you buy that
@OP How do you know what those women are doing? Do you have access to their work responsibilities and the results?
