Is an extension for a few months possible after one gets the RTO letter? Whom does one go about asking on dire need?

If you are just now getting a letter I have a feeling your management alerted your org late... and they got in trouble. You're chances aren't good.
Also - if you manage folks it is highly unlikely it would be approved.
lots of people outside of dallas still wfh without a virtual designation, so it is not a real policy that is being enforced at the lower management level.
Let’s talk about this in the office
How are you not RTOed yet? I got RTOed in 2023
Get in line
Sorry.....this is non-negotiable.
@bx I was under treatment for cancer and submitted for a 3 month extension. They sat on it until they could include me in the layoff plan. My manager suspected that they didn't want to pay the medical either so they wanted to put me on COBRA. It's not unheard of to make exceptions. There is a certain AVP, that was demoted to Director, then to L3 IC that is under the same circumstances and was given an open extension. They did the director to L3 IC because he didn't have any direct reports! KDxxxx
Most requests get disapproved since so many previous employees granted extensions in the past lied and never moved.
@aa SVP or above needs to approve it. Unless you are under going medical treatment, there is a good chance you will get denied. Good luck
What possible reason could you have for NOT wanting to RTO?
I got one for 6 months. I think only 3 in my org got an extension. You just need to be the first one to ask.
You need a chain of command approval for any requested changes to your RTO
It’s pretty rare to see an extension approved. You’ve had a lot of time to prepare.
Can HR do that or does it need a blessing from the entire chain of command?
Absolutely. I've seen it extended close to a year.
