I try and stay for at least a half day - going home at lunch time.
Because of the noise and my brain I usually camp out in a huddle room at the outskirts of the floor but even there, the walls are so thin I can hear every throat clearing, every sniffle from the people around me and it drives me crazy.
To avoid people/noise I sometimes go in at 5 am.
I'm taking advantage of the 1/2 day of PTO equals a WFH day for the rest of the year.
I see most employees doing eight hours a day in the office on a regular basis these days. However, I have not seen an increase in collaboration, or water cooler talk because our building doesn’t even have water coolers. People have the look of being there due to fear of losing your job Potentially from the never-ending policy changes.
Stop trying to bring up non-issues just to stir the pot.
I devote eight hours a day to my job. (It used to be more, but forced ranking and the near-impossibility of an exceeds rating with increased bonus means I now only do enough to not get an inconsistently meets). On days I go to the office, the commute takes up part of the eight hours I now offer.
On office days I badge in around 7:45 AM, spend 15 minutes trying to find a place to sit, then I badge out at lunch for the drive home. I work no more than 7 hours those days. On days I WFH, I login in about 7 AM and sign-off around 6 PM. The decade plus that I was fully remote, 11 or 12 hour days was the norm 5 days a week - not anymore. They want to play this stupid game, then they can pay the price.
I actually wonder whether a company can legally enforce a certain number of hours in office for exempt employees and that’s why they haven’t pushed something company wide yet.
My manager told me explicitly that it was okay for us to leave at lunch/not stay in the office all day, as long as we were there. Most of my team does something similar, it hasn't been an issue or affected productivity at all. In fact I think the flexibility helps. For example if maintenance needs into my apartment, I can plan accordingly around a half day. If I was forced to stay in office all day I'd have to call out or use PTO
I leave at lunch
No, it's the people like this that make them want to bring down the hammer even more. So, the majority suffer because of these id--ts.
"Not me, I try not to work more than one hour each day."
This comment - honestly, I think that is what Wells Fargo wants from it's employees. They don't seem to care about performance any longer, they only care that you are at a hub.
Not me, I try not to work more than one hour each day.
Don't poke the bear, id--t.
I go in all day. I like it so much I even go in 4 days sometimes. I get mad when my manager yells at me for eating hamgerders at my desk while on the phone helping customers, but who cares what that fink thinks.
8 hours. Documented & tracked by manager. I’m in brokerage side. Been that way since we returned to office.
Exactly, it's like a criminal spilling his secrets. Just STFU
Nope. I stay 4-6 hours at most. Time traveling home is also blocked on my calendar. They also only get 8 hours of work from me on office days.
2 to 3 hours … been doing it this way since March 2022 and no problem at all.
As long as it takes to log in and send one email
7 - 4:19 when in the office

And travel to and from the office is blocked off on calendar from meetings!

The more peoplw post about this topic, the more mgt will clamp down even further. PLEASE STOP.
I rarely spend 8 hours total in office across an entire week, let alone a day. No repercussions so far at least.
I’m hourly processor, going back to the office next year . 1 week in office 1 week at home . Will have to stay the full 8 hr of course :)
When I'm at home, 10+ every day. In the office? A lot less . I intentionally do as little actual work as possible while in the office as well. Sorry, too busy collaborating around the water cooler to make that meeting or complete that report. That's what they wanted, right? When/if they increase the required number of days, I want the data to show that they are doing it fully aware that it's counterproductive. We all know they don't give an S about production, but let's go ahead and eliminate any doubt that anyone ever had.
When I work from home, I work 9-11 hours, when I add carbon emissions to the world and congestion to the roads by going to the office I stay 4-5 hours. There is nobody to collaborate with. The person two doors down is loud and annoying and I get very little done. It’s stupid and is only being done to pump up Chuckles ego and to try and force attrition. I refuse to play.
You need a better job.
Every time. Why do you ask?
I stay exactly 8 hours on the days in the office. Upper management is micromanaging us. They prefer nine hours to make up for the lost time during my lunch.
as 100% wfh, always more than eight. if things change and i am required to return to the office... a consistent >= 8 hours seems more a goal. salaried obv
