Hearing it from multiple reliable sources.

They hate you. They want you to quit. Why would they roll back the 3 day rto? If they could make you work 7 days, they would.
Helloooo..Goldman Sachs is hybrid as a good friend works there and takes the ferry into the office two days a week and is virtual for three. Also, he tells me the ferry has dropped many runs into NYC as many companies are still hybrid and the majority of all including Wall Street work from home on Fridays.
- Probably not true.
- Too little, too late. If they want the employees back on their side they need to offer virtual status to anyone whose job allows it.
“ Hearing it from multiple reliable sources.”
Ya mean you “hoyd it from da grapevine”? Via the California raisins perhaps?
"...after coordinating with the business roundtable of leaders that are all implementing similar plans?"
There is no business roundtable with similar plans. It is not the new "industry standard", as some dimwit likes to post here every day because it gives him some weird thrill.
Our industry is Telecommunications. (Yes, Telecommunications...stop calling us a "Tech" company; we could not be further removed. We are no more a Tech company than US Steel is. )
Telcommunications companies, and indeed our direct competitors, still employ a structured hybrid schedule for their management personnel.
The opposite. Take a look around more groups are being called into 5 days instead of 3 as the phase in of full RTO completes. Do you think Stankey is going to change direction after coordinating with the business roundtable of leaders that are all implementing similar plans?
The people posting what they are ‘hearing’ with nothing substantive to justify it should have at least done it a couple of months ago and said the announce date would be April 1.
Not happening
June 13 is Friday the 13th
RTO 7 days a week coming
@aq where are you hearing it from ? L2s 😂
June 13th. Liberation Day.
We are already hybrid, 5 days in the office for core hours with additional coverage hours as needed at home to meet management responsibilities.
This is a psyop. Read the boardroom and tell me any of them have ever reconsidered anything.
I’m hearing this too. It’s obviously more than a rumor now.
@a8 No it isn’t. I just got a job offer yesterday for a major telecom that was hybrid.
@a6 see the second comment on ats office presence
"5 days is rapidly becoming the industry standard."
That's just as stupid as Legg claiming that AT&T was at 60% occupancy in 2018 and that is why we have the Emp to Desk reation set around 65% now. AT&T was a hybrid company in 2018 so of course it was a low occupancy number. You and Legg are jackasses of the same proportion.
@aa That thing is a troll. Posts the same garbage every day. This whole back to hybrid thing here is almost certainly also BS. It’s wishful thinking and no one here has had anything close to concrete evidence it will happen. We are also an outlier like you said.
BTW the survey results don’t matter. The L3s and above will give glowing reviews and BS answers on the free response questions to skew the results even if 90% of L2s and below blast RTO and the like
@a8 WRONG. I could tear this statement apart very easily but I will try to be nice here. If you do your research, 80% of the companies are still in hybrid/remote. Majority of the 80% are still doing 3 days+ across all industries. The other 20% have approached the 5 day RTO policy across all industries. Examples of big names that are doing 5 days: Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Amazon. Most of FAANG is still hybrid and companies like Microsoft and Spotify are still remote. Promise you it’s NOT becoming an industry standard as many have learned during the pandemic that 5 days is NOT necessarily to generate revenue, especially in tech field.
5 days is rapidly becoming the industry standard.
@a6 possible that the one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.
No, it's not. The “ATS employees: Updates on office presence” website was updated today with the dates for 5-day office presence across different locations.
Complete and absolute made-up nonsense that for some strange reason seems to be gaining traction.
How long have you worked here?
Do you actually think a 180 on policy, basically admitting you were wrong....is something Stankey is likely to do?
C'mon man.
One day, things will have reverted back to a "relaxed" in office policy, and the Presence Report will be something that is laughed about by those still here, and it will no longer reviewed at all.
But there will be no formal announcement or policy roll back. And that day is not imminent.
What sources? L4 and above or just your buddies gossiping? Like the other poster said they made a big show of going 5 days and it would be major news for a company like AT&T to backpedal. Last thing Stankey and friends would tolerate is looking like p_ssies in front the of the CEO buddies.
They don’t care about employees and we know the survey is a sham.
I don’t think so, they have pushed very hard for 5 days, I have made up my mind for 5 days now an, it’s just a rumour to swing the survey results.
Keep the surgery honest and tend to disagree
