Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

The latest reason to reduce headcount is....

Not going to your local office enough! if you aren't attending your office, you are not compliant with "policy". Watch out for your notifications this week, you'll have two weeks to turn it around or you're gone. Happy to be disposable, as always.

For those questioning this, it has been brought up as a way to skirt around paying severance. Non-adherence to clearly stated company policy is grounds for termination. Not a layoff, but a termination, and therefore, no severance.

WFH employees are a security risk. Period.

You seem confused. The "attending one meeting and socializing crowd" IS the average 5 day in office "worker".

  1. He wasn't when RTO policy was conveyed
  2. If other orgs had a different RTO guidelines in place, I can't speak to that.
  3. Clearly not lol

  1. Neville is gone
  2. He was head of Technology, he didn't set company-wide policies. If he did say that, it was at best a guideline to his reports.
  3. Any official communication on office attendance policy is going to come from the Chief People Officer.

"It was clearly stated if you're scheduled to work a 5 day workweek then in office 3 days, 4 day workweek then in office 2 days, 3 day workweek then in office 1 day. "

Stated where and by whom? The only official email I've seen simply states "3 days a week for most, 4 days a week for directory and above".

@daHurtTruths the guidelines aren't vague at all. It was clearly stated if you're scheduled to work a 5 day workweek then in office 3 days, 4 day workweek then in office 2 days, 3 day workweek then in office 1 day. Clearly if you're on PTO for the week that's a wash, you don't make up time the following week lol. As long as you and your manager can speak to/confirm with any discrepancy then you're fine. Separate thought on this whole RTO thing, just think if the whole covid cr-p never happened we would all be in the office 5 days a week(unless remote). So there is no reason for people to be playing games with hybrid RTO skirting around not coming into the office, you're just cutting your own nose to sp-t your face. If people are being sneaky about RTO, what else are they being sneaky about?

@daHurtTruths, I've thought that in the past and know others that think the same. Some think the whole RTO for everybody thing is really just to quiet down the ones that absolutely need to be in the office (i.e., the people manning the phones) and that no one besides them would ever be fired for not coming into the office. IDK. I think a lot of it will be left up to each individual vp/director/manager. Some will be all gung-ho about it and basically enforce it very strictly. Others will just go through the motions and honestly just keep quiet about not everyone coming in.

I'm skeptical they'll ever use office attendance as grounds for termination. They've yet to put exact expectations in writing other than the vague "3 days a week" (e.g. what happens if you take a week of PTO, do you have to come in an extra 3 days in the next X weeks?). And if they do decide to take that step, once they open that box there's no going back, they will be forced to terminate even high performing employees if they don't meet office attendance goals. I think they'll just continue to follow all the big tech leaders and try to leverage it into performance reviews.

If the company is asking you to go in to work then go. If not then leave. It’s just that simple.

As stated, badge swipes are easier to monitor that IT usage.
They will monitor potty time with swipes as well, so per fast and get back to work.

Ah yes. The reason why Elon laid off/fired a bunch of Twitter-pated people. They came in, socialized, had MAYBE one meeting and left. Mikey's just following Elon's example.
