I see it all the time people leaving with all their stuff after lunch in the office? Hard to be believe they got here at 4 am or 5 am. On my team we not only have to be here 8 hours they track our computer activity too! Seriously which teams should I be applying to?

Why are you so concerned with what everyone else does?
I remember once we were told we could work from home during some kind of weather event. (It just so happened that day would have normally been an office day).
On the condition of we lost power or internet we'd have to come in. Keep in mind thats about an hour drive.
I shouldn't have done it. Waste of really and putting my life on the line just end up being laid off.
Nobody was even there. I stayed for a little while and I came back home. Signed on sent email explaining that I'd come back home wasn't staying all day. Felt weird being the only person in the office.
Sometimes I move to a meeting room or focus room if I have a meeting or, as in the case this week, the guy next to me was coughing and blowing phlegm all over his desk and I was digusted
All that matters is you get the total time required in office on the rolling average. Example for me since I’m three days in office.
Monday: 9 hours
Tuesday: 5 hours
Wednesday: 10 hours
I go into the office just about every day, but only required to go in 3 days/week. So sometimes I’ll go into the office, but decide to finish at home.
I do know of people that go in at 5:00/5:30am
My boss has let people start late almost like a swing shift. They need to because they have families that need them as if nobody else had families. So by 4 pm everyone is gone in the office including the people that started at 10 or 11. Our team works and supports other teams so there is nothing to do after 4 anyways when most people have gone home.
@e9 I show up at 5 because I live in AZ and my psychopath coworkers on the east coast and in India think it's fine to park 6 am meetings on my calendar even though we're no longer a remote company. When I can I decline the meeting, but that's often not an option (and I don't need to be seen as "difficult to work with" in this job market).
You want everyone working a synchronous schedule, Wells needs to consolidate to a single time zone, or bring back remote work
@em You sound like a privileged sociopath.
@ek the whole world is double standard central. this "it's not fair" victim mentality is what keeps many people from getting what they want. baffling that they can't see it.
Wells Fargo is Double Standard Central. That's why. Also, as others have pointed out, some people get there early. But also the double standard thing.
I have team members who show up at 5 a.m. It shouldn't be allowed. They're creating an asynchronous schedule amongst the team and they aren't even available when stuff comes up. You shouldn't be able to shift your schedule to the extent that you're not around for half of the business day.
@at "...also exempt employees".
Can't speak to everywhere in the company, of course, but in my area we're pretty much all exempt and we've been told we have to have minimum 8 hours a day (every day, in-office or not) or we have to take PTO. No "comp time", either. You can work 12 hours a day Monday-Thursday, but if you want to slip out an hour or two early on Friday after all that, take PTO or get your hand slapped.
So now most people are setting an 8-hour timer when they log in and no longer doing long days or evening/weekend email checks. If something can't be done in 40 hours, the deadline will just have to move, because only the most brainwashed company devotees are willing to give flexibility they no longer get in return.
Get in at 530am with the rest of us, see for yourself. For some its a necessity, especially if you work in CA with India resources.
I get to to office between 5-6 most days. You should mind your own business
Get busier with your own work, and you won't have time to track the comings and goings of others
The entire point of taking a half day is to avoid the office.
Badge in at 5
Out at 1
Easy Peasy
like @a5 said, just worry about yourself.
They are probably in a sales position and are heading to meetings or something similar—also exempt employees. If part of a high-performing team, we usually get to do what we want without being micromanaged.
I'm going to get called a boot li---r... But, part luck part skill, part playing the cheesy corporate ladder game.
But most importantly work for a biz line that is top performing. Won't matter if you contributed a lot to that top performance. Guilty .. or in this case wonderfully lucky by association.
These rules don’t apply to all the executives.
They take half day off?
I get into the office at 4:30- 5 a.m., and there are a handful of people who do the same. We work with India, pay attention to yourself
Start at 5. Why is this even a question.
We all just ignore the expectations and work whenever we want. Our manager said they dont care what we work and that since they're a minority WF is too scared to do anything to them. None of us do much of anything and work whenver we want. Its been a great year.
