I love RTO. Gives me a chance to get out of the house and shop, take 2 hour lunches, catch up on personal things watch tv and rest. No managers come into the Charlotte site so no one around to harass the few people that even bother to show up. We can swipe each other In and out. Put my phone on meetings and DND. No one knows where I am.

As long as you have a garage you can consider yourself in office. Rich and Tony said so.
I’m more worried about this “restacking” business. I come into the office but my team is not here.
Simple Wells Fargo math. They’ll decide the time period they want to calculate the average over when they decide they’re getting rid of you for not meeting the average. Whether that be over 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months or some other arbitrary number they need to support their decision.
Agile = overstaffed, underperforming, vague, ambiguous direction
Non-agile = efficient, more leanly staffed due to true SME occupying roles, decisive central leadership removes unnecessary ambiguity.
Agile has always been a joke. A bunch of people running around with their tinfoil hats on, desperately trying to look like conformers. People citing the 'manifesto'. No educated adult lives their life by someone else's manifesto. How embarrassing.
Agile is over 20 years old. Not exactly cutting edge, yet Wells is just now trying to adopt it.
Wow...is it really that difficult to figure out?
May be a day = 8 hours. If you choose to come for 4 hours a day in a week, you still need to come for 2 days to complete your "average day" per week.
“Average one day a week”—that is indeed a tough one.
The more interesting part of the communication is the 'restacking' of teams section at the end.
It will be interesting how that plays out on the ground, and how it will affect anyone classified as fully remote (myself included).
We'll never even know how much time and money was wasted on all this BS for no reason other than tormenting people and encouraging resignations.
I hope you don’t work in finance.
I’m sorry you don’t understand. Are you a product owner?
It’s the total number of days divided by the total number of weeks
From what minimal reporting I’ve seen, they take the number of working days in a random period, filter out holidays, PTO, VTO, sick time (where applicable), etc.
I’m expected 3 days per week, so if I were to RTO 5 days this week, I could do 1 day next week and still average 3 days. Obviously unless you know the sampling timeframe, you can’t game it quite like that, but it seems like that’s how it works in my management chain.
For you that could look like going in 8 total days over a 2-month period, or 12 in a 3-month period (which I’d take in a heartbeat compared to 24 & 36, assuming no other time off)
