Has anyone else found themselves using more PTO or personal days since the new policy eliminated back-to-back WFH days? I’ve had to take more time off lately for unexpected personal matters—like caring for a sick child—that I used to be able to manage while working from home

Not using every hour of paid time off is like give yourself a self inflicted pay cut. It's part of the comp package - use it!!
I was told by our higher ups that theu CAN see the VPN reports. They have to request them and they dont request them unless the employee is not meeting the in office day requirements.
I’m seeing on Reddit people saying that if you’re off for 3 days in a week you have to come in to the office the other 2 days to be compliant, and if you’re off 4 days in a week you have to come in the remaining 1 day to be compliant. Have you found this to be true?
Manager confirmed last Friday in a team meeting that as long as you are compliant 4 of 6 rolling weeks, you are still OK. How those rolling weeks are calculated is anyone's guess as he did not elaborate.
The training is clear that you have to first focus on being in the office 3 days per week, then secondarily not doing the 2 days back to back. If someone is sick or there are circumstances where you have to do back to back days, that is okay as long as you are generally complaint. This is all in the education.
@bc yup even though just worked this weekend and had to still take half day sick day
Yes! I’ve been using my time off. Smh
@OP yes, same here. The requirement is definitely resulting in this and adding to that is the refusal to spell out the policy in regards to what happens to the reporting when you take time off. How does pto impact the policy? It’s not clear at all. Some have said that you could put a small amount of sick time in Flagscape, say 15/30 minutes and it shows up on the report the same as taking a full day, I don’t know if that is true or not, but if it is and they can’t differentiate between full days and less than full days, it could be a way around it. But of course they don’t want us to know that, lol. Same with the tracking of time physically in the office. According to the article in the Charlotte Observer, the bank at the moment isn’t able/doesn’t report on length of time in the office. We know they can track VPN, but whether they get reports on it is something else.
