Heard a rumor that the company plans to eliminate hybrid work starting in 2027. Unsure if this is just for folks that are hybrid in Minnesota and DC where hybrid employees are expected already to come in 4 days a week. Anyone hear anything about this?

@kj Expanding the radius means what? Right now it is 30 minute commute time in high volume of traffic times.
even prepandemic - werent those offices in MN mostly empty anyways on Monday and Friday?
As for DC I did not even know UHG had a large presence there
You are correct, sort of. They are expanding the radius for Minnetonka and DC. If you are more than X miles/minutes away, you will be remote. Then, hybrid goes away for Minnetonka and DC. The expectation is 5 days a week. But the goal is to get people to 4 days a week. When it was 3 days a week, the average was under 1 day. When they moved it to 4, the average is just under 3. By moving it to 5, they expect to get people to 4. If you are not in Minnesota or DC, this won't apply.
@OP makes sense. If you been anywhere others than the 3rd floor in 9800 then you’d know that no one comes in. Even after the email went out telling people their badge swipes were below requirements. Then there are those who wander in around 11 and out by 2. The row of cars leaving post lunch is comical. Can’t speak for all leaders, but ones I work with have created a toxic environment where no one wants to come in. Ending hybrid won’t do anything. No one cares and there’s no accountability.
