How is this legal? So 11 days was good, but now they say it’s no good because new rule is 14 to 15 days, depending on the month. Applies retroactively since January since expectations was to be in office…but for 15 days????

Data for the RTO tracker is wrong, but there's a new message
It says, "NOTICE: In‑Office Adherence data quality has been corrected for most team members; however, VDI and some Mac users may still experience incomplete or inconsistent data. This notice will be removed once the remaining issues are fully resolved."
A supposed Workday date fix is in progress
Workday currently has a message that reads, "NOTICE: We are actively addressing an issue affecting the accuracy of In Office Adherence data. As a result, a data update is currently in progress. This message will be cleared once corrective actions are complete and validated."
Ivanti log in while in office showing 0 days in office.
Newish employee. Prompted to log in ivanti while in office. I just work off my laptop not the monitors. Report is showing me as in office 0 days. Why is this? Stressed out over here!!
IP Address Tracking is OFFICIAL
Per the comms sent to all employees from the CHRO, in-office time is NOW being tracked and measured. So all the rumors can be put to bed because designated hybrid employees are being tracked for RTO indeed.
RTO Tracker Missing Days
I come into an empty office 10-12 days a month. Why are my days missing? How is this goal bring tracked? Are we going to start tracking all of the “extra hours” I put in at home after being on calls all day.
The wait time for HR is 70 minutes. I am not giving up on this. Someone should have validated this data before publishing.
RTO - Does anybody actually stay for more than a few hours?
ALL they care about are badge swipes. That's it. Swipe your badge and you get a gold star for "going to the office."
But does anyone ACTUALLY stay for a full workday? I mean, I drive an hour to the office and stay for 1.5-2 hours and then go home because why stay? Cafeteria food prices are way more expensive than ever and none of the food is not worth the price. One person on my actual team goes to my office and we both leave at the same time. Which is typically 11:30-12pm.
8 hours in office??? This real!???
Someone said when they asked if in office mean 6 hours or 8 hours and the response was they are tracking people to be in office 8 hours .
Wtf!
This can’t be real, no one is staying exactly 8 hours a day in office
This isn’t real
Or is it!???
Reporting to management what days we plan on being in office
Was informed we need to be telling management what 3 days we are going to be in office each week. If we need to change a day we need to be letting management know. This feels beyond the rto requirements. If we are hitting our 11 days a month why does it matter what days we are in office. The micro management is at a all time high. Is this happening across the board or am I just lucky?
Just received confirmation that they are now tracking us for 6 hours in office via IP tracking
So that’s why they have that stupid new goal about being present in office or some garbage.
Man, what about those of us that take long and frequent bathroom break because we are old and have fiber and bladder problems??? Every trip to p-e takes over 10 minutes to walk back and forth, and it takes a long time to empty it out because it drops so slowly as a 60 years old.
I am so glad I am retiring this year. I feel horrible for the young folks and all the folks that were hired as WFH and took a lower salary, now have to spend money to commute
Where are HealthSpring employees (hired post-acquisition) supposed to report in the office?
My whole team is remote. I was told that I need to go to the office 3 days/week starting April. Nobody knows where I'm supposed to be reporting... the chicago office has 50+ stories. There was zero guidance during my orientation.
Unpopular opinion: truly dedicated employees want to be in the office
A lot of quiet quitters and underperformers on this forum

April 1! You ready for the Hunger Games? 4 days in office 8 hours a day. Those microwaves are going to be cranking all day long. Seats will be hard to come by and those Focus rooms will be filled to the brim with all the “look how important I am” workers.
The Keyboard and mouse at each station will be filled with germs and who knows what other funky bits. And those bathrooms, oh those bathrooms will ripe with unbelievable smells.
On the other hand, the collaboration that will take place will be incredibly helpful to furthering the foundation of Tech and Risk across all teams. For once WF got it right. Only way to make it better would be to have everyone come in 5 days a week. That’s just a pipe dream at this point, I guess. But a dreamer can dream
Being in the office 3 days/wk is reasonable
Those who are too lazy to be in the office for 3-4 days a week don't care about their job and their career
In Office Requirements
If you go into the office do you need to be logged in for a certain amount of hours on your computer? Does HCSC track that?
BH sez get ur azz into the office
..slackers, all of you. /s
BOA is tracking coffee badgers... beware
I know 3 coworkers fired today for coffee badging... all of them would come in at 7 and leave by 12... terminated for violating policy. I know several people who coffee badge for for far less hours, management is cracking down on this quietly... you have been warned
Coffee Badgers being terminated
Supposedly they're cracking down on coffee badgers... anyone here this?
Does Wells have the ability to track hours at the office?
Managers receiving lists of employees who aren't on campus enough
I just heard from two different trusted sources that managers are receiving lists of employees who aren't on campus 4 days per week. Supposedly this is either already happening or will happen in all groups.
EP office badge swipes
Does a “badge swipe” count if you only badge at the front doors, or do you have to also badge at the turnstyle? Asking for a friend
Cloud PC
Does logging into Cloud PC effect your time that is counted toward the 8 hour per day in office requirement? Have heard different things.
Flexible Hours
Hearing from various high level people that soon all LOBs will force employees to make sure their 8 hours in the office are during core business hours such as 8 to 4 or 9 to 5. If you come in 6 and work until 2, they won’t allow it going forward. They want to align all LOBs and make sure everyone is working same hours for better collaboration and synergies
Underwriters back in the office weekly bs quarterly
Anyone else hear underwriters will have to be back in the office in a weekly bases? Not everyday but hybrid (I.e. 2 days home 3 days in office)?

At What Point Does a Sales Job Stop Making Sense?
So let me make sure I understand my situation:
I’m being required to come into the office five days a week…
while carrying a quota that doesn’t feel real…
in a role where success depends as much on internal decisions as actual selling…
while helping train the very AI tools that could eventually replace me…
on a low base salary…
doing mostly administrative work and churning quotes…
with little to no company culture…
coworkers I don’t connect with…
no visible upward mobility…
commission that feels more like roulette than performance-based pay…
and management that’s largely absent.
All while knowing I’m effectively stuck here until I land something better.
Mmmkay.
Does snow day count as in-office?
Since people working in Charlotte were told to work from home Monday, does that count as one of our in office days? I had appointments scheduled midday Thursday and Friday since I was planned to work from home and there's no way I can make 8 hours in office those days.
Office attendance
Supervisors can see when direct reports are not in the office. Are they able to see the time the employee badge in and out of the building too?
5 Days in Office
Potential employee here. I know 5 days per week in office is the official policy, but is it actually enforced across 100% of teams? I know a lot of similar companies have RTO policies on paper, but they aren't policed. Thanks in advance;
Newby here- What are Connect Weeks?
Are they just weeks you’re required to go to office? What if no one on your team lives in the same state as you?
Newby here- what are connect weeks?
Saw a comment on a different post about “connect weeks” schedule being posted…. What’s that?
Are those weeks when you’re expected to come into the office? I assume where most if not all meetings are through Zoom?
Or is it Forced socializing?
HR RTO
When HR 5 day in office required?
Why HR getting free pass to do nothing all day, every day.

Corp badge in/out
At the end of February, each department at corporate will have detailed Attendance data for their staff. Every employee will fall into one of many buckets;
In office but less than 4x week
low time, meets 4x week but less than six hours in the office on multiple days
No time- Which is never in the office. This is to verify the “exceptions”
Get your resumes ready because there will be a wave of disciplinary cuts as a result of this.
Will Monday Jan 26 be exempted from in office reporting?
Most ppl impacted by snow received an email on Monday Jan 26 that in office policy will be relaxed this week..... Only to receive another email that in office policy is back in full effect starting Today Tuesday Jan 27.
So will Monday Jan 26 be exempted from in office reporting? Will we only have to go into office 2 days this week instead of 3?
More RTO? 4-days a week….
Email from KS today doubling down on RTO. Wow.
If You Mandate RTO, At Least Make the Office Livable
If you’re going to force everyone into the office five days a week, can you at least turn the heat on? People are sitting at their desks in coats, winter hats, and gloves. That’s not exaggeration either.
You made the RTO decision, not employees. If the company doesn’t want to pay to make the buildings habitable, then revert the policy. Forcing people to commute just to freeze inside an office is beyond ridiculous and completely self-inflicted.
please post the tracking cycle weeks
HI - can someone who has access to the in office attendance tracking tool please let me know the week starts for the 6 week cycles? is Feb 1 2026 a cycle start?
Unassigned start
How’d it go for everyone?
I heard multiple times, “no, those spaces are for x-x team or person.”
No they aren’t. We’re not saving you space b/c you’re special. If we’re doing unassigned, that means you too buddy.
In Office
I overheard someone talking about how rto is going to change and it’ll be 2 days per week in office and up to the department(s) on which days you need to come in? Anyone know anything or know if this is something that’s going to be released?
