i thought coffee badging was driving to the office grabbing a cup of coffee and then walking out a different exit with said coffee and driving home and then beginning your day

Core incompetence = Connectivity. In the simplest of terms, you provide a service that allows 100,000,000 customers connect and communicate and get things done anywhere and anytime. (Asterisk * Offer excludes employees)
My day starts early and goes late nearly every day and work over 12hrs most days. I get my required 3 swipes per week, but it does impact the response and work of the team negatively to have folks cover commutes. That being said, I might be in the office 6ish hours, but I’m working 12+ most days. We were full time remote pre covid for that reason and that no one is colocated. Now FTO. Makes no sense
T prefers honey badgers
“How do you know it recorded one? Is there a report you saw? Is it based on inaccurate pings?”
There’s an internal site you can view saved pings on - it was posted here some time ago. I’m not at my company laptop where I have it saved, but I can post it tomorrow.
Yes, it’s viewable.
“It’s incredible that this basic concept is lost on senior leadership. Just like the fact that happy employees make happy customers. Board, officers and entire C suite need a major overhaul”
It’s not lost on them. It is imperative and required to maintain their legal poker face and stay on RTO message during the great purge of the targeted employees. T will go to great lengths to court and coddle the remaining employees once this immoral charade has accomplished its intended “people transformation.”
Some continue to call the unfortunate ones “dead weight” but we all know who these people really are don’t we?
Regarding the following post:
I was at the office 4 days last week and it recorded one according to the system (my badge swiped were correctly recorded), how is this data actionable?
How do you know it recorded one? Is there a report you saw? Is it based on inaccurate pings?
Post from TheLayoff.com
How did you find out it only recorded 1 due to pings? Is there a report?
The focus should be on smarter work, not harder work. Productivity and results, not hours. It’s incredible that this basic concept is lost on senior leadership. Just like the fact that happy employees make happy customers. Board, officers and entire C suite need a major overhaul
“ Any regular listings under 8 are actionable.”
luckily for you. you are not in charge of you'll be kicked out for incompetence
What’s crazy is senior management and GRE think senior technical types would happily spent 8hrs sitting at a table with 4 others within 18inches all around.
“ Any regular listings under 8 are actionable.”
What policy is an exempt manager violating when they satisfy the requirements of the presence report? Most of use haven’t been given an hours requirement and there isn’t anything about that in the policy on hr one stop.
I would imagine the people that stay under 4 hours probably don’t have their boss or teammates in the same city as them. They’re forced to go into an office with strangers that has little to no desk space 3 days of the week.
“Any regular listings under 8 are actionable.”
I was at the office 4 days last week and it recorded one according to the system (my badge swiped were correctly recorded), how is this data actionable?
“Another org was already told expectation is at least 6 hours on office days.”
Any regular listings under 8 are actionable.
“Why the downvote? This person 100% right, info is inaccurate.”
Because the Stank paid actors need the employee base to believe it’s accurate and enforceable so they comply due to fear.
“I’ve seen the ping data, it’s wildly inaccurate and unreliable.“
Why the downvote? This person 100% right, info is inaccurate.
Are there numbers on what percent of people actually report to the correct office? I know people that don't even have access to the office. LOL
The comment with numbers didn’t display correctly.
Numbers were:
46% less than 4 hours but on vpn for 8 hour workday.
34% in office more than 4 but less than 8
And only 20% actually in office 8 hours.
The numbers basically said everyone is working a full 8 hour day but most are doing half days at home, coming in to coffee badge, staying a few hours, and leaving…which mirrors what we’ve seen at other companies as well since it’s all productivity theatre.
Human psychology dictates that the majority will do the bare minimum to meet arbitrary requirements such as these.
Stankey got really butthurt when the numbers came back with only ~20% of people actually being in the office a full 8 hours a day.
Off the top of my head the numbers were
46% 4 hours = 8 hours
People just aren’t going to follow these silly directives, no one I know or work with does including directors and AVP’s.
“LAN tracking is real. Another org was already told expectation is at least 6 hours on office days.”
Doesn’t mean it’s reliable or actionable.
I’ve been advising people to document their own hours in office, take photos with timestamps, record travel logs, keep receipts, basically collect as much evidence as possible so if they do try to act on this unreliable data you can easily file a wrongful termination suit against the company.
I’ve seen the ping data, it’s wildly inaccurate and unreliable.
LAN tracking is real. Another org was already told expectation is at least 6 hours on office days.
Fear mongering.
This is what was said about RTO last year and attendance and nothing was enforced with the bonus except anecdotal reports.
As usual, it depends on your org and how strictly your manager is enforcing these things.
There has been no official word or release about hours in office, tracking, etc so they likely won’t use it as an enforcement point until there is.
The tracking system is also notoriously unreliable especially on Mac’s. I have access to some of the data, and it isn’t great.
I was in office multiple days last week, on the WiFi and only got credit for one day according to the ping system. If they use it to enforce it’s going to end up with a lot of people getting false flagged who were actually in the office.
it said coffee badgers will be impacted by 2025 bonus
Because it was too scary
