I confirmed with a VP that RTO is no longer being monitored

Had my 1x1 with my boss who is a SEVP of my org and reports to the almighty JC earlier this week. RTO was brought up. He asked if I was remote or went into the office which was confusing to me since I figured he knew this already. I told him I go into the office, mostly... He kind of chuckled and said "well, if you enjoy going in then do it but, nobody is keeping track anymore."

I asked what he meant and he said that it was too much work and effort for everyone to keep up with who is/isn't going into the office among other things and that there are far more important matters at play than RTO monitoring. Then bluntly said "nobody cares. but, there are some orgs who do still demand their employees to follow the 5 day work week in office."

It definitely depends on who runs the org at this point. I deal with a few different departments and know quite a few managers. What I hear is its about if the Director enforces it. Its been that way for a while. What I also see is people in the same group across different countries or states, people doing the same job, some work full remote and some are forced in. Most people full remote are due to buildings being shut down others went full remote and moved when they were promoting "connected work place" All in all its not fair some people in the same group are forced in while others are remote.

Wish it was the same in my dept. we are told not only to come in 5 days a week, we are expected to be there from 8-5 no exceptions. Everyone of us, has been (and continues to be) called out when we leave at 3/4pm, and reminded that this is a “8-5 job” no exceptions.

@OP And...you believe him?

Just sayin. At the end of the Dell Day they will sell you out in a heartbeat to maintain their salary.

Which org?
