Any target date on when all virtuals have to move?

Next year, first half
It’s almost impressive how Leadership consistently fumbles the bag. At this point, if they accidentally made a decent decision, I’d assume it was a clerical error.
Everyone sees the double standard—no one’s fooled. The company has made it very clear that even people with deep system and process knowledge are replaceable. They love reminding us of that. Meanwhile, there are still “virtual” employees living right around the corner from a hub!!!
But sure—let’s keep pretending there’s any real logic behind who gets flexibility and who doesn’t. At the very least, if not forced to move why aren’t they expected to RTO to a hub like everyone else? Entire teams have been decimated because they’re “too far” from a hub. Not ONE person was spared. Before you say they weren’t needed, let’s remember their work is being passed off to someone who does RTO in a hub—delaying everything and tanking efficiency.
So if you’re one of the few granted virtual status, please stop gaslighting your peers. The favoritism is clear, and the brown on your nose isn’t going unnoticed. You may have worked hard—but not necessarily harder than anyone else—and being treated differently doesn’t earn respect. It only puts you in the same category as those who played a very different game to climb the ladder….
Are we bitter? Damn right we are. We’ve been treated like second-class citizens, so yeah—we’re pi---d. It’s apparently what they want! Leadership has built a culture dripping with resentment and discord. If they were even remotely transparent, they’d just stop pretending and change the NWV tag to what it really is: VAK — Virtual A-s Kisser.
The pettiness and jealousy and downright anger some of you have toward employees that are still virtual, which in most cases is because they simply don't live close enough to an acceptable office to commute to daily is sad.
I know plenty of really good people (both good and good workers) who were let go for simply not being in a hub. Some were hired virtually. So when you say it's sad, it's really sad that there are so many exceptions made for one person over another that has nothing to do with how good a worker someone is.
The company created this system. Legg said nobody would be let good for being in a hub and then the weasle backed down and let go hundreds of his people for not being in a hub. And the BS going on with creating new hubs on behalf of his reports while others were let go for not being in a hub is just more of this same BS
Still here because my services are still needed I guess, and I’m good at my job. I go to the office 100 miles away once a month. Sometimes twice.
It's NOT because you are good at your job. I know dozens who were let go who weren't in hubs that were good at their jobs. You either are a favorite of someone or you have some kind of skill that's harder to replace. But being good at your job has nothing to do with retention of anyone anymore.
" Many employees (in the order of THOUSANDS) are forced to drive 3-4 hours daily to the office and are not ALLOWED to be virtual."
No one is FORCED to drive anywhere.
@ed you are sooooo wrong.
Many employees (in the order of THOUSANDS) are forced to drive 3-4 hours daily to the office and are not ALLOWED to be virtual.
Therefore miles is NOT the only reason to be allowed to WFH.
You need to have the “back” and “approval” from your boss and above ie, you need to be “liked”.
Ask anyone at the office are they would spell it for ya clearly. oh that’s right you work from home .. The irony of speaking when you don’t have a clue.
The fact that it would make you happy to see them fired, says way more about you than it does them or anything else.
I don’t want them fired, I just to see all of Jeremy’s people come to the office like everyone else. Wasn’t that the goal? Making our workforce reflect our communities? Well come on man, let’s get to it. Does that track with you bit$h?

Probably virtual because they are Jeremy’s special DEI picks. Right Jeremy, you dou--e. Left wing pr--k,
“ while others are dead weight.”
For the umpteenth time, that is composed of the grossly overpaid “dark triaders” in the C suite, BoD & superfluous levels of “VP’s”.
@ay NVW are not supposed to be leaders. They are supposedly pretty good individual contributors that are good in their jobs and also have people skills and are essential to the project.
“ Again, there are thousands with the virtual exceptions (not because the job requires to be virtual) but because the management agrees to.”
Wrong. Am still virtual because the closest office I can report to is 100 miles away. There used to be one a bit closer but it was closed down. Still here because my services are still needed I guess, and I’m good at my job. I go to the office 100 miles away once a month. Sometimes twice.
“They worked hard to be friends of …. and to agree always with … and to elevate the ego of …. And they all have a strong digestive system”
What does this even mean? I am on a team that’s spread across the country and have never even met my boss in person, nor anyone else on my team.
Soon I hope.
virtual employees are selected and core of the business while others are dead weight.
@ab right. Again, there are thousands with the virtual exceptions (not because the job requires to be virtual) but because the management agrees to.
They worked hard to be friends of …. and to agree always with … and to elevate the ego of …. And they all have a strong digestive system 🙄
I know a NVW and he is weak as they come. Not a leader and has a crew that are 5x8. He’s expecting to be forced to Atlanta. Weird that he doesn’t have to go in to the nearby office. Nor does his boss. I saw some guys today that I hadn’t seen in a while. Coming in 2 days a week to the wrong location and no problems. Their “boss doesn’t care”
“ If you still have the virtual tag, you are untouchable. Those folks are not going anywhere, they are a higher caste than you.”
Golden children indeed.
Still virtual. Not worried, I’ll go when they lay me off. I’ll keep doing my job at a high level until then.
Depends if you are on the friends, family and shoe li---r track.
If you still have the virtual tag, you are untouchable. Those folks are not going anywhere, they are a higher caste than you.
There isn’t and won’t be.
If you moved and didn’t get virtual you played the cards you had.
Deal with it, many of us told you to push back and not move.
