All managers received the reports of employees who did not return to office for the month of January.
Do whatever you want with that information

When Chuck RTOs (to SF), I'll RTO.
@1aje+1kZBmQJs Glad you’re here to work “at a high level” but showing engagement with others and interacting with managers and executives is all part of “the game” if you want to get ahead. Hard work will get you so far. Out of sight out of mind will keep you grinding away for diminishing rewards. Putting in a couple of hours a month of face time with management is often worth exponentially more that churning out one more data point or system feature.
Work smart not hard.
@2ubi+1kZBmQJs So weird, I don’t recall extending you an offer but glad you’re happy at the misery palace.
@1lww+1kZBmQJs Not my cup of tea. Happy Hours s_ck. I'll stay at WF thank you very much.
@1aje+1kZBmQJs the point of the post you referenced is that full WFH is going away pretty much everywhere. Good luck on your fully remote work situation quest. I’m guessing you won’t be missed - since you’re not in the office for people to notice you’re gone.
@ 1cbw+1kZBmQJs
Yikes think again, there are a lot that make well above 100K and receive over 50k in bonus. 100K doesn’t even mean that much anymore either, harsh reality
@lng. Very few in this company get over 100k
Sounds horrible. Not being sarcastic. I'm here to work and I will do it at a high level. Not wasting time on anything else. Also, FRTO and hybrid models when it's completely unnecessary. Maybe it is necessary I'm your line of work, it's not in mine.
Good luck keyboard warriors. I moved to another financial services company and they have been hybrid with 3 days in office since last summer. Some of my team is here, some in another large hub so there’s always someone I’m working with on something in the office I sit in. They don’t do loud reporting and emails about not coming in. People who don’t come in are dealt with - quietly. There have always been very few of them.
It’s really something to work with and for people who do what’s asked, deliver on releases and get rewarded. The office is full of happy people just going about their day. We have happy hours from 4-6 once a month and department lunches once a month where an executive gives a company update to a group of ~75 and doesn’t dodge questions. I feel like I finally escaped the mean girls table and now work with adults.
No. We are not low level employees. We are employees working at different levels within the company, who know that "better together" doesn't apply to everyone in the entire bank.
Retail employees work in roles that require an office presence. For many of us whose roles do not require that, we have an issue with RTO, especially for those of us who had formal telecommuting agreements, and/or those going to offices where they aren't co-located with anyone. In my case, I had an agreement. I go in to a mostly empty office, and there is no one I talk to, unless I wait around in the break room on the off chance someone appears, or I wander down an aisle with some people. Those people are working a job I left behind years ago, and are in a group that I would not return to. It is not a hub location, and that same group of people have been told there are no opportunities for them to move up within that particular reporting structure, because their OC leader is firmly onboard with the location strategy. 3 of the 4 people are top producers, yet feel stuck because KS (who doesn't live in a hub himself) has decided to stick with the only hire out of hubs idea. KS had confirmed it after months of asking, when a hiring manager had tried to get an exception for one of the individuals whose skill set aligned well with a role where no qualified candidates had applied.
Because I was hired as a remote worker before Covid. It’s not a return to office in that situation.
I happen to work for a manager who works for the son-in-law of Jamie Dimon, so there is strict adherence to this policy. I missed two days in January and can’t remember those weeks so I asked for detail and was denied. Now instead of doing my job I am calling friends in HR, friends in CPG and talking to the security guards at the Ballantyne Brigham building to see if they can help me re-create my January office hours
Of course, from now on, I will be keeping detailed notes about when I am in the office and creating my own digital documentation. What a colossal waste of time. As my work involves satisfying regulators, I of course make that a priority, and not hours in the office.
I’ve never seen so much whining about RTO…you guys gotta be low level phone reps or something. Retail has been in their post since covid started. Why is it an issue of RTO 3/5 days of the week???
Hudson Yards is so ineffective at everything else they do that literally the only tool in the box is terrorizing their own employees so that a lot of them quit. That's it. There's no resolving compliance issues, there's no turn around story or innovation leading to awesome growth, it's just outsourcing, downsizing, and harassing good career employees until they can't stand it anymore and they leave. Can they do this? Sure, but it will fail. In breaking news miserable pi---d off people are far from ideal workers. I don't care if I'm the last one left on the stagecoach, I will oppose this treachery and everyone beyond it until I draw my last breath.
I got called out twice this week because of the report. I told them I was sick, that was good enough for now. I plan to resign when the check on 2/3 shows as avalable funds in my account, so Monday.
hopefully @woq loses his job with that attitude
Good luck p*nching the bully in the face. They control your paycheck and a union won’t work for high paid individuals, otherwise you are giving up high pay ($100k+) to bring up others. No thanks. Either comply or find a new gig. They will get you in the end.
F the reports and F the executives.
The majority doesn't agree with RTO, but the company isn't a democracy. Just like us, the managers have to do things they don't want to. So when it comes down to a manager keeping or losing his or her job, they'll have to tell you to start coming in.
It's also the minority that's screwing up hybrid for the rest of us. Tons of us are are thrilled with a hybrid approach.
Can’t wait for my manager that hates RTO to ask me why I was in the office only 2 days last week.
Me: I was sick, and didn’t want to infect anyone.
Manager: OK.
Any other answer is unacceptable.
Can confirm that multiple levels of my direct management agree with the FRTO sentiment.
Bullys never stop until they get punched in the face.
Managers don't want RTO any more than the ordinary employee. It's a select few that are gobbling on Chuck's nut sac that will promote anything he wants, but most managers are just like everyone else. They say F RTO as well.
They won't enforce until they feel the spotlight is going to be on them.
