Two people I know got it. Have to go to office where their manager is located.

One of the key characteristics of exempt employees is flexible hours. Employees of this bank work more or fewer than 40 hours in a week, but they get their work done. Do we have a few bad apples? Every place does. Bring it DF, we right here!!!

Is 6 too short? How about 7 or 7.5? Will this be included in performance review?

Okay, most are not happy about the 8 hours. I have a serious question-- are people really busy 8 hours a day every day? Honestly? My work has highs and lows, sometimes I'm working 10-12+ hours/day, but in the low times I'm working less, and not... — read more 

If they are going to treat exempt staff like hourly employees, threatening to hurt our review and bonus, i want my overpay time pay, i work weekends and sometimes 10 hr days. If they in anyway try and threaten us i would demand to see the data, for... — read more 

Its true! I chatted with my counselor today, and it was great! I told her I'm off the bottle (barely drink at all anymore) and in fact I'm loving the job search! It's almost like Christmas, the thought of doing work I actually enjoy - in a new... — read more 

Ok, what is the deal with the in office hours tracking? I’m hearing it’s based on badge swipes, connecting to the network. Can anyone in management enlighten me what they’re looking at? Is it 4 hours, 5 hours? Apparently there is some reporting... — read more 

So leadership has told us their most important metrics are days in the office, hours in the office and number of keystrokes. So be sure to work to those. Anyone want to help me develop a random keystroke tool?

a few people have shown up today and there are no open cubes. Wtf they expect you to do if there are no open cubes to work in. Oh and fyi it looks like cubes might be going away in some places. Just workstations crammed up against each other. ... — read more 

When will the remote employees be severanced?

Considering cancel this meetings for my office day. It’s hard to be in office by 7am and stay until 8pm to take those calls.

Does this count against 8 hours? Feel like a child having to even ask this question.

Work at night is very common for our team. Will I get a PIP? Or let go? My family needs the paycheck.

And they’re doing this by allowing manager discretion with missed hours. Several folks on my team were pulled into a special session to reiterate the new rules last week. As we scanned the room, we quickly realized a common theme: we all have... — read more 

Former tech project manager here. Now part of the deadwood population here that is too young to retire but ready to GTFO. Where does a guy like me go? I’m tired of being railed into the ground.

Apologies if this is another sad post, but can someone clarify how in-office attendance is actually tracked? Are we talking badge swipes, IP addresses, or just whatever the reporting AI spits out each week? I keep landing on these “magical” lists... — read more 

Is the plan that any remote employees, or those who don't live close enough near a hub, will be let go by 2027 if they don't relocate?

Is there any bank besides WF, that gets robbed every 3-4 weeks?

Seems Senior Management is in office this week. Have any departments been advised of their last day yet?

#1 - No severance if you’re fired for cause # 2 - save money on payroll # 3 - give them COBRA, but they will pay unsubsidized premiums for health insurance

Manager here who hasn't heard of this 8 hour in office rule. I've seen a lot of post about this so I know it's a thing. Was there an email sent out or were you guys just notified by leadership? Also, is anybody else's a lot of business not providing... — read more 

good luck folks!

The below is said in jest, and is probably not something anyone should or would actually do. Also, it would only truly work if someone lived VERY close to the office. Go to office @ 7:00 am. Leave office at 7:05….. Go home. Come back at 2:55... — read more 

For the coffee badgers since RTO, seems we have been busted big time. Anyone has any idea how to game the system with this 8 hour rule. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

May have been asked before. Sorry if that is the case.

If you are displaced, don't forget to take advantage of things like vision insurance, dental insurance, etc. Also, if over 55, look into 'Rule of 55'. 'Separation from Service' in IRS speak. It allows anyone 55 or older to withdraw funds from... — read more 

Does anyone have the details of when the next round of the co-location strategy layoffs or relocation offers will occur? Particularly if you are the only one on your team at a site but it is a hub. Thanks

No logoff entry defaults to 8 hour network login

My laptop is so slow ALL THE TIME and WF makes it so difficult to get a new or better one. What laptop model do you have and does it work? Any tips?

Was the WF rush to the cloud Risky? This risk averse employee thinks all of our data is at risk everyday it is on a cloud. Stupid is as stupid does.

As an employee of this bank for 10+ years, I had zero interest in looking for a new role at this point in my career but the pettiness here is just so astounding, I just can’t tolerate it anymore. I now have a second interview with a smaller company... — read more 

This may have been asked in previous posts but if so I missed it. Anyone know what the benefit is to change to Retired from Displaced? Doubt there is much just curious if anyone has done that recently. Thanks.

If you needed reminding that HR / Allegations department / Ethicsline / Loudspeaker isn’t for employees this is it. They are closing out all cases about RTO with either no response besides “we have closed this case” or this canned response: “We have... — read more

Or is that something that can be handed out throughout the entire year?

My manager informed us that you will be penalized for taking PTO halfway through the day and leaving early since it will count as a day in office where you spent less than 8 hours. This company really needs to get its act together and send out... — read more
