Burning PTO because you are sick or snowed in because WFH is no longer an option. I know there are supposed to be exemptions if your manager fills out the paperwork but mine has already said they have better things to do. Squeeze your employees until they leave is the only reason I can come up with. Thoughts?

No wonder Medtronic's going down the sh----r. I mean, I knew there were a lot of b-ms (especially the lifers just hanging out to retire in MN), but post-COVID really has shown up how lazy and entitled my Medtronic peers are. So many lazy deadweight pos letting the rest of us pull their weight. That's how it's been for years, and it just stopped working. Geoff is the biggest part of the problem, but so are most of you leeches.
Go to the office and stfu, or quit, instead of hanging around here. I'm sure the employment market will be great since you're all so special and deserving. #b-ms #failingcompany
Sorry you hate your family and escape them by going to the office 5 days a week.
Ugh .... People are still complaining about RTO, bottom line if you were remote before Covid, your still remote . If you were hired remote after Covid your still remote.
Everyone else is back in the office.
Ge-z 4 days a week won't ki-l you, I've been 5 day onsite, before, during and after Covid and never got it.
Must be nice to have unlimited PTO
I work remote, but no way would I take off for being sick. I never did before covid, why would I now?
Some of the comments in here are so d-mb.
People had to work from the office for years before COVID. They either went in and battled through it and possibly made others sick, or they took the time off and didn't.
Nothing has actually changed except your level of entitlement that you should be able to WFH all the time. If you're sick, be responsible and take the time off. It's noone's fault but yours and your peers' if you go in and make other people sick. It's not Medtronic's fault you don't want to take the time off like you should if you were as righteous as you're all pretending to be.
Just admit you're salty that you can't WFH and move on.
@qv Many people are contagious before they know they are sick but they don’t pay attention to the early symptoms.
When did Medtronic hire <18 year olds?
Many people in the office are indeed "sick" but not contagious. The mental health crisis in the US is staggering. You know it's bad when the leading causes of youth mortality <18 years of age is g-n violence and su----e.
I wonder how truly productive we will be when everyone is at the office sick.
@gr Which is extra great now that the guidelines for who can get the vaccine are changing. Most people at Medtronic won’t meet the guidelines.
I'm going to give everyone Covid at the office because I'm not burning my PTO
MDT has 2 policies on "not coming to office if sick" and "your personal safety come first in bad weather" now if your hourly its PTO or if your honest take PTO " an don't worry about work until your back in the office. Your manager must really dislike you if they are unwilling to let you take a couple WFH days including your 1 mandatory if sick or snowed in for a couple days
I think what is unfair is the remote workers and still work when sick or bad weather. They don’t need to use PTO.
Lower managers’ leash got pulled. They are truly at the whelms of the higher ups.
soft layoff, the next round is most likely targeted at do nothing WFH dingdongs .... Best of luck slackers
Funny how the lower rungs of management haven’t said a word or even asked a question on our behalf, totally silence. Only thing they are now good for is walking around cubes “checking on productivity”. If you have a decent one they will ask how your weekend was prior to going back to their cube to work on PowerPoint presentations…the rest of us just get asked why their presentations aren’t finished yet, we had all weekend to work on them.
Totally worthless
It's call a soft layoff. You are correct. Medtronic is slowly making our work lives miserable so that we will voluntary leave. Medtronic invested 100s of million of dollars setting up the campus in India.
