Yes that was exactly my point. But every college educated under 28 year old on this planet truly believes that.
"Also, make sure to keep voting democrat. If we do it enough, all our problems will be solved!"
Ummm, that's why we are in this boat! Stop voting for mo--n Democrats. Democrats are the ones that want us back in the cities! Back in the office.
as someone who used to work in Brevard, there wasn't space for everyone who was required to come in even if you did come in early 3x a week. I still had to come into the office when all the members of the project I worked on was not located in Charlotte including my Manager and their reasoning was team morality. Team morality, for what? It would be team morality, if I had senior member located at the hub to mentor me from the start on technical skills or giving me a background information on the application I was going to be placed on. These things are very important as not every fresh out of college student has experience with financial systems, the lessons on how to appear charismatic, ask for help, etc are helpful but can be taught anytime. I think if you want workers to return to the office, there must be incentives for them to return to the office. For me, I never used the amenities. And tbh in IT there's not much customer facing work, everything can be done over zoom. An average person spends $15k a year commuting and at least 4 hrs of their day outside of work to get to the office. As long as you do the work or put in effort to do the work, that's the only thing that should matter. It's pretty easy to figure out who doesn't do the work assigned. To managers: WF policies allows for 2hrs-3hrs wfh and 5-6hrs in office, don't try to preach on 8hrs if there's a policy in place allowing for that. Assign days to your teams based on floor availability. It is incredibly tiring to come in early to find that are no seats available in the lob you work in and then you have to sit somewhere, which would be fine... however, this too has caused problems where managers keep tabs whether you sit in your assigned area.
Only a fool things driving around for no reason is "work". It's not, and RTO is a waste of time and money. So is the building we RTO to. F this horse S strategy. All it's for is to drive layoffs. That's it. Shart doesn't care if you're in an office or not. Going on to the office as directed? Ok, he'll just fire you for a different fake reason. People need to wake the he-l up. The only thing Shart wants is for you to no longer work for the company. You can't comply yourself out of this situation.
I’ll do about 160k this year. Not bad for a rural area.
Keep complaining about how you have to leave your apartment and get on the bus to your cube. It’s for sure gonna take you far.
Also, make sure to keep voting democrat. If we do it enough, all our problems will be solved!
RTO is a tool to get rid of unflavored employees. If your boss doesn’t like you and you don’t go to office 3 days a week you will be displaced. A few folks in my organization violate RTO policy with no consequences at all. Same thing applies to location strategy. If you are unflavored remote engineer good luck to you. Thanks to wells unique favoritism/nepotism culture.
sigh
just go to to work.
all this crying is getting tiresome.
OR
enjoy unemployment! you deserve it!
It’s BS - I know someone who never complied and had an excuse for not coming in 3 days. They never been written up and got a bonus and raise. However, during a one on one the manager did tell her she averaged 2 days in office. Not sure they are actually tracking now but they haven’t been for 2 years.
Nonsense. For the reasons stated below.
They aren't worried about overflowing buildings, at all, because they still plan on firing many thousands of workers. We'll "fit" alright, as our domestic population heads for zero.
Which LOB”s are doing this “rotating” schedule? Seems to completely contradict the “benefits” of RTO such as that ‘warm and fuzzy feeling in person collaboration”? Of course can’t do that with anyone in India & Philippines…
@fbf+1sfyDJAy If you think the deal is a lower bonus for not RTOing you are naive. That was the INTIAL intimidation tactic. Ask around to find out what the current repercussions will be. I say ask around so you’re not getting details from an Anon board and then ignoring them.
@zok+1sfyDJAy is all happy he went from a $20k teller to a $40k personal banker. lol. Congrats plebe. Keep up the hard work.
BS.
I do know many teams in I&P are already working 4 days in or have been told it’s coming for them. And once the golden children do it, you better believe our US management will be wanting their US teams to as well. After all, we are “one” according to our Execs. (Also BS).
Some LOBs are alternating teams to come in 5 days a week. When some teams come into the office every single day for two weeks, other teams work from home every day for two weeks. Then, in the next two weeks, these teams swap their RTO schedules, and so on. WF is insisting on this RTO stuff and will never go away.
What would be a better deal… the hit to bonus for not towing the RTO line or the savings (food, commute, time?) from not commuting?
nope, not punishing everyone for the sins of the few.
Those who are not doing what they are supposed to are getting performance warnings and escalations. This can also include revoking any WFH privileges for those individuals..
Do what you're supposed to and you won't have a problem
I’ve gotta be honest. I work in the branches and never took a day off outside the office after COVID (other than pre scheduled PTO). I’m now making double what was was going into 2020.
Gen Y and Gen Z’ers: if you want to be successful, just work hard. It isn’t complicated.
Don't feed the troll.
Yeah right.
Oh please. They don’t have enough space to bring in everyone 5 days. They still are trying to figure out where to seat the thousands of people they need to bring back in later this year.
