Long but worth a read - we really need this doc leaked at AT&T
If you ever had any doubts these overpaid corporate clowns just don’t care, this piece from Barton’s about JP Morgan’s RTO fiasco should prove it. They all know it’s BS, they have no data to support it and they don’t care. There has to be something... — read more

Reporting non compliance
Can I report my coworkers for noncompliance to RTO? I feel like there should be a portal to report these things up the chain so they can ease these freeloaders off the payroll.
Time in Office Report
I head from someone that they were tracking our badges when we leave the building somehow, does anyone know if that's true? Just trying to get an understanding of the presence report if anyone has more details.
