People are walking around checking cubicles making sure everyone is in their cubes working. If a cube is empty, they take down the name and cube number. Just a heads up.

They started doing this in Andover, Dascomb road last year, they do it not just once but twice a day, once around 10am and then at 3pm to make sure you're there the entire day.
They are doing this in Roseville, Fremont and Palo Alto. Someone is going around checking twice a day and he claimed he was doing a headcount.
Headcount for what?
They did this in Conway Inside Sales department just before they let us all go. No WFR packages, sold us to a channel partner.
I guess now we know what "no tailgating" is really about.
they are running reports on who's key card was swiped to.
@HsoURtE-6vax, it's called favoritism. I remember when we all got the memo that we need to be in the office so I came in Monday to Friday and meanwhile the rest of my work colleagues continued to work from home. They got the ok from the manager for that even though I got told that I need to be in the office because "Meg wants us all back in the office".sickening.
What's nuts to me is there a person on my team who has been working from home since January. They moved from a city with a major site, back home to an area where was none. Obviously their manager had to okay this, I just don't get it.
Life is too short to stress over whether one occupies a cube. id they can send your job around the world and/or to a subcontractor, they can send it to your home office. As far as I know, all sites are taking roll and I imagine those not in a cube bubble up the wfr list. If that is all it takes then maybe HPE is not working for anyway.
They were doing this in Austin almost immediately after Meg took over.
They'd always say something like "we're hiring a bunch a people and need to find space for them" as if they needed to take inventory of the cubicles every few days.
They've been doing this in Erskine since 2012.
If you're on the premises, could you just post a sign in your cube stating your whereabouts?
I saw the opposite knee-jerk response from management in Houston. If you were sitting in your cubicle you weren't working, if you were out on the manufacturing floor you were working. They didn't have the brains to realize we could remote into the solutions we were integrating from our desks, with the advantage of having documentation, phone and email access at our hands instantly. When 2nd level management visited all of the butt kissing engineers went out to the manufacturing area and typed madly away on keyboards to show they were "working" , the rest of us worked from our cubicles and were chastised for not being seen as productive that day. What goes round comes round... all 3 managers were canned.
They've been doing this for years. Probably part of the reason I got WFR - the engineers working in the labs (doing their job) are "absent" from their cubes while useless deadweights are of course at their desk.
Meg is just a f*ckng idiot. I can't believe someone so stupid is being allowed to run HP into the ground.
My name is "Mobility cube"
Come at me, Meg.
Home today, sick as hell. If I had to report to my office, I'd take a sick day. Instead, working from home, I can actually get some work done. HPE's execs are complete morons.
I suppose if I had team members local to me (I don't), I could go in sick, and get them all sick, too. Maybe Meg just has a hard on to pollute and stress us out with a commute and all the wasted time and money traveling 2 hours a day.
How do you know this? What location?
What office(s)?
Who are "they"?
Leave it to hpe to try to turn the clock back to the 90s. Lol
I'm working from home today. Guess what Meg? I'm not doing it any less effectively than I did for 10 years before you came along and imposed the back to the office policy so you could justify location based sackings.
And who is stripping their cube while they are out and about being cunts?
WFR can't come soon enough!
Are you serious?!
