@d5 stop thinking like a pawn. Use your brain. Why are you trying to hurt your colleagues that you are JEALOUS of? Just say you want to work remotely as well..sheesh. Hateful people like you are the scourge of the earth.
I suggest offering telecommuters hybrid at the closest site or laying them off.
If it was you who were remote, would you be for firing all wfh? Just stop. People wfh for all kinds of reasons. My whole team were made telecommuters, there are pros and cons. If they ever say we’re switching you back to hybrid, no problem for me, but others were hired living no where near an office.
So many variables to consider when asking that question…
- Has Citi closed the site they previously went to? - for me yes, I had no choice. So after 35 dedicated years they terminate me, stating my job has been discontinued when in fact I have spent the last 6 months training offshore employees to replace everyone on my team. Their job titles are the exact same as mine, department name as well. So you decide for yourself…
- Who is more productive, onsite or remote. - Citi has he ability to count keystrokes whether you are onsite or remote, just remember that. - Me, I was way more productive a home because I choose to not be bothered with drama, so being remote eliminates the ability for people to sop by my desk for idle chit chat to complain about what only you can control or gossip about what you think you know about someone.
- Perhaps there is a medical reason, don’t judge unless you know the entire circumstance.
Bottom line, do your job, do it well, and do not worry about everyone else.
LASTLY, BE THANKFUL YOU STILL HAVE. A JOB!
no. They are exceptions in my team have to exist per our group leader. They are the 10% per HR rule. Rest has to be 100% compliant to feed them.
Absolutely they should be RIF’d before anyone else. Having RTO while they WFH
mmmkkk
Of course, yes. I know a colleague of mine who works “remotely”. In fact, she is doing nothing but traveling every day and around the whole world. She never shows up in office btw
@OP Hello, HR. It's not great to see you again!
its a fear factor to force everyone to come to work. Why come to work? all corporations have large investments in real estate, we spend on gas, we spend on food. All this is needed for the economic circle to rotate. WFH does not benefit the economy, so you come to work :-)
I've had former bosses, that have left over the years, offer me more money to jump ship. Even in this economy, I'm confident I could land a similar gig at another bank, making 10-15% more than I make here. I only stay here because I hate commuting. The second they take that away I'm driving to the highest salary.
No. Hire more of them. Wasting a day in the office is so 2000s
