New policy was just sent out. Turns out the rumors here about policing coffee badgers were actually legit. Who woulda thunk?

@OP Totally fake & boring purple haired troll post.
IP address inside Intel vs outside/vpn is how your connected time after badging in will be measured.
@ab RFID scanners were phased out for a reason. RFID signal bounces everywhere. Off your clothes, off the walls, off of metal door frames. If you walk by the scanners they can accidentally read you as entering or leaving.
Most of all, huge security risk. Makes tailgating easier. So, no, those will not be coming back.
Watching a recording isn't collaboration with the team you're collaborating with.
For those not attending late or early meetings under new policies, don't you have meeting recordings you can watch during your on-site time?
@jt 5 days and minimum of 8 hours onsite
What is the memo verbage? Need to stay x hours in the office, etc?
I think what we should all do is quite straight forward, if cant be trusted to WFH at least a couple days a week, then i will not do any work at home. that means no more late nigth meetings, no more catching up with work after hours, etc...
then management will se what a productivity drop really looks like
The coffee isn't even that good
Haha. Jokes on them. I'm having my coffee delivered now.
@e8 No. They were RF readers the same as they have now, except you just needed to have the badge anywhere on your person and walk through the archway.
@dx Just leave me the sports page in the handicap stall. Thanks bro.
@dw LOL coffee badgers don't give a S×××
There is another new rule coming. No working from the café. Only your desk or a conference room when justified.
@OP Random person on internet has correct information all of the time, none of the time.
@ay Some people didn't get the memo, but the company is going bankrupt. Not right now, but it's on its way.
Everyone will feel the pain which will continue to gradually increase.
@ab They didn't automatically read anything.
The badge had to be in a certain position and not covered by anything that prevents it from reading.
It is obviously your responsibility to scan it to enter. But how are you gonna enforce it when people are exiting?
This is part of the reason that I decided to retire from Intel at the end of the year. (I Started in December 2005)
A lot of ppl speculating about how Intel will track employees. You ever go to a scheduled meeting in an onsite meeting room? You don't need to call the meeting room to have it join the meeting. Teams will know which room you're in and ask if you want the room to join. It's been happening for a few months already (at least in RA).
You know the meme about the 10 mins max in the bathroom policy? That's coming.
What do we hire badgers for? Don't they belong in the wild? And why do we give them coffee?
@OP as a manager I'm definitely not tracking anything on their d-mb dashboard. Track it yourselves
right behind all the bootlickers
Okay, well, thank you for sharing that
information. ls there anything I can do to assist you with emotional regulation today?
@b0 Cheers to you. This sh-t is bonkers right.
Skroo you lazy entitled leech employees that think just because you got to stay home for 3 years during the pandemic doing personal stuff on company time that you should be able to continue to do that forever. At least when you get laid off, you'll only be a burden to the taxpayers until your unemployment runs out vs. being a burden to the company as long as you're employed.
How about you just come to work in the office spend the eight-hour day and shut the fu-k up ? Follow the advice of the pot brothers’ attorneys. It is that hard to come do a job, do it well, collect your check and enjoy your family. I don’t get all the fuss, but keep it up until it’s 5 days a week for you all.
I don't get it. Everyone I know is burned out AF, doing more with less, taking meetings around the clock, and brain fried from AI shortcutting all the parts of the job that used to give you some flow state. Why mess with everybody like this? There's really some fundamental kindness missing in this company lately. We have gotten better at listening to our customers and way worse at listening to our employees.
How many hours are we supposed to stay in office everyday? 8?
It's sad, actually. This is the best our leaders can do.
Nothing meaningful. At least Pat was a visionary. LBT is just humble going out to multiple dinners 7 nights a week with customers. HR lady only knows time tracking which is a problem solved since the industrial revolution.
@aq Intel phone too I guess
They are tracking via badge and possibly your laptop. She even shared a link to the badge dashboard in her message, have a look. The problem is not being at the office, the problem is surveillance, this makes me very uneasy about going to work.
@OP told you so
Mass non-compliance is the way...
Meanwhile at NVDA no global RTO but people struggle to find a parking spot.... Does management ever put some thought on why would that be?
Well… I guess I’m not badging in to get my coffee at Intel anymore. Fu-k um. Let them guess where I am all day from now on.
Yeah love the HR person's big smile. She's so brilliantly happy to deliver us all bad news.
Did nobody review the post before she made it??
Loving the comments on circuit from employees , and the HR lady big smile when delivering the we are taking away more benefits of flexibility, and not offering anything in return. No look back to ESPP nothing but you you get to keep your job. This is great motivation to get people to work hard for you NOT!! This just motivates me to save harder for retirement!!
So how much attrition do we all think this will get Intel? I'm assuming. That's their prize objective.
