How's everyone complying with the new 8 hours/no consecutive remote day rules? How long are you staying in office? Any coffee badgers still? Lol

@4dq Please show us where this change is mentioned in any information or materials that have been distributed.
@4dp They changed the rules. Get it? Pre-Sept 14th no longer matters.
@48e It’s not about grasping the concept. It’s about the fact that prior to Sep 14 if you took off 3 or more days you did not have to go in to the office the remaining days to be compliant.
@345 omg I need to know what city has a talent show and zumba. I wish some of the people around me would go do that stuff so I wouldn't have to listen to their incessant yapping.
@489 Workday is being used to track the days you have taken off. Take off 2 and you have to be in office the other 3. Take off 3 and you have to be in office the other 2. Take off 4 and you have to be in office the remaining day. It shouldn't be that tough to grasp the concept. The assumption is that OOO days are equivalent to WFH. Ask your manager if in doubt. This has been cascaded down throughout CTI for sure.
@486 This was NOT the case prior to Sep 14. And since the materials provided don’t specifically say this, do we know for sure this is the case now? If the compliance metric being measured is 3 days in the office, how is that being measured if you literally can’t be in the office 3 days because you’re off 3 or 4 days out of 5?
@44s If you take 3 days off, you have to be in ofice the other two. If you are off four days, you have to be in office that one day.
@43j The WPE materials specifically state that 3/2 employees have to go in to the office 3 days if they take time off for 1 or 2 days in a week. But they don’t address the expectation if an employee takes off 3 or 4 days.
@3jt Completely true. Take your WPE "training" course again.
I’m seeing on Reddit people saying that if you’re off for 3 days in a week you have to come in to the office the other 2 days to be compliant, and if you’re off 4 days in a week you have to come in the remaining 1 day to be compliant. Have you found this to be true?
One of my execs said the report she receives shows nothing about time in the office, only how many swipes per week. I do see many more people at my campus, which makes parking a nightmare!, but all they're doing is wandering around, sitting in chairs on their phones or at the cafeteria. They now have a bunch of onsite activities like Zumba classes and an all-day talent show. Why force everyone to come in so much/often just for play time? More work is NOT being done, I can promise you that.
I got work from home due to anxiety
@ap Why not worry about your own performance and office time instead of others? If others are getting their work done, why do you care? You aren't their manager.
@ge Chase (literally down the street from Plano Campus) forces badge outs and sends a daily email to managers for any/all of their staff that fail to meet 5 hours in office, 5 days a week. Since BofA never is a leader, I suspect we will follow their onerous and oppressive lead. Note though that Chase tends to pay higher and has a better bonus/stock structure than pitiful BofA which is partly why Chase staff don't leave.
Well, even though the enterprise put out acceptable 3/2 schedules, my area thinks it’s best to coordinate a consistent schedule across all of our teams for collaboration. Zero flexibility.
Did I mention 2 people MAX work at the same site, most are at locations by themselves!
Make it make sense…
@ge woohoo! Can’t wait to have my crew back in the office all monitored and tracked for 8 hours
@fc Don’t fret. If enough employees continue to ignore WPE requirements, the Bank’s next step is to mandate core hours in-office for everyone.
@fc Had hopes for what?
I’m in the office 8.5 hours per day 3x week. Nothing has changed as far as I can see. The coffee badging is still happening. More lip service is all WPE is. Never seen the level of inconsistency and incompetence in one organization. I had hopes but two weeks later not so much.
HR cares nothing about us and I give up on this company. I showed hr a hostile work environment and if it didn't happen yesterday, they don't care. 20 years worth. Still nothing. I have been helping out my manager whenever asked. Guess I'm done with that. What's the point. Going to start moving my accounts to chase before I get fired. This company is garbage
I am staying in the office longer than I used to, and I'm seeing others do the same, to hopefully prevent getting flagged. But still less than 8 hours.
@ap what a tool! Imagine being more loyal to company rules than the people you share work with. Ugh the people we work with, corp loyalty >>> basic human decency
Coffee badger don’t care.
@b2 same with our team, manager said carry on as usual, has no complaints with anyone’s performance. People often leave after a couple calls but nobody on our team feels the need to demand vpn monitoring to expose them. Suppose some teams have more mature employees who complete their work and don’t care much for office politicking.
I have not seen any guidance it is a hard 8 hours including after conversations with my manager. We are on a more flexible do your usual time in the office.
I havent seen much coffee badging. I’ve seen a few here and there leave a little early but who knows if that’s from sick time or Flex Time. I mind my business and do my job.
I see many people only here a few hours. I hope they have a VPN report to catch the coffee badgers.
Who cares. I’ll still coffee bade if I want to. My sh-t is getting done.
I'm slow-rolling my in-office presence. No concerns so far.
@OP any coffee badgers still? Seriously??? Are you part of the snitch outsource team?
WPE is working out so well, 8 hours , more often than not try to hit 12 hours to make sure the bosses and snitches know what a good card carrying teammate and integral part of the bofa family I am.
