5 Day RTO has served its intended purpose. Time to revert back to Hybrid.

Last year we were on a 3-day RTO schedule and things were working fine. Then, because of the (now admitted) broken presence report, everyone was punished with a 5-day mandate. Since then, leadership has acknowledged that the data wasn’t accurate and that the small group of actual abusers has already been dealt with. They’ve all either left or been terminated.

So why are the rest of us still paying the price?

It’s time to end the punishment and bring back a balanced 2/3-day model. The people who stayed have proven their commitment to this company, even through frustration and burnout. Rolling back to 2/3 days would be a genuine show of trust and a much-needed morale boost.

If leadership truly wants to rebuild culture and retain talent, this is the simplest and smartest way to start.

@ex government isn’t part of the telecom industry. We are the only one in our industry that doesn’t operate in a WFH or hybrid model.

As for the rest of the world, over 90% of companies still operate in a hybrid of WFH model. Over 35% of that is strictly remote. I will always call out your false claim as it’s a blatant lie.

5-day RTO is here to stay. It is the industry standard. Even the government has adopted it. Embrace it.

@a6 last year wasn’t 3 days? Do you even work here?

I think 5 day RTO is working great

"Last year we were on a 3-day RTO schedule and things were working fine."

But you really weren't.

It’s simple, they want people to leave. Until they hit their targeted headcount’s, they won’t change it. Unfortunately the people they need to leave won’t and the people they need to keep are the ones going in reality. However, they don’t see it like that. They see everyone as replaceable like changing tires on a car. Swap one for another, or they think things run just fine without backfilling, so they will just dump the load on the next person.

@OP Stanley doesn’t want that. Just wants to flex muscles like a power hungry king that actually got us into our mess to begin with.

Nope -- Still 40K more employees to go.
