For in-office tracking, does it make a difference if a person uses Cloud PC vs primary laptop?

cloud/virtual desktop is being eliminated.
While it's still around, it won't be picked up by the hourly tracking.
It's more packed alright, more intolerable than ever. All part of the plan.
They are moving away from cloud and VIrtual desk tops, so they can track your hours. I heard hourly reporting was produced but they know its inaccurate based on location, badges, VD, cloud discrepancies. So we are all going back to laptops so they can track. Haven't you all noticed the office is getting more packed? They are cracking down on the "coffee badgers".
The TLDR is using a VDI or byod that connects to the guest network..make sure you badge in and badge out..~8hrs apart.
Heard today that cloud PC is going away with the rollout of Windows 11 for US team members due to cost.
@OP if you are in the office and login thru that hub on the desk your activity is not recorded so although you are at work in the office you aren't working, you have to login thru your laptop. Which defeats the entire cloudPC work hub set up.
RTO is tracked on a rolling 13 weeks. Which means if you are only in 2 days on a week and dont take PTO or thete is not a holiday. You have to make it up on both the week before and the week after or you will hot the report. I dont know how the 8 hour mandate affects PTO counting. It used to be that if you took 4 hours it counted as a day in office.
I wonder if they track in office hours for the offshore folks
On-site is tracked in two different ways. 1) where you log in from and for how long. Your level of activity also tracks this. 2) Badge in and out times.
Everything is tracked. It’s not that hard and big brother has been in the system for years. Most companies track everything and you authorize it each time you log in. That little warning banner at login time isn’t there for looks. It’s letting you know you’ll be watched. Enforcement is whatever the policy says to enforce. Pretty simple setup and you agreed to it.
Today my manager says 8 to 5 in office is required. That is 9 hours . So they are reducing 1 hour lunch in the report? It would be good if we can see these reports in workday for to be more transparent.
@an we were told Wednesday on a lunch and learn that it is OC and down 2 levels. So my manager and director dont see it. Wonder if it is up to them to care..or if they have to care?
It'd also be nice to know what exactly triggers you to be on it.
who gets 8 hours report? All low level managers or only top folks
No
Does it impact you today on tracking your RTO?
