Will they track both Badge In and Badge out?
If so, say goodbye to Coffee Badging.
Your time locked in the zoo will be tracked.

Just curious. Hears we are moving to new Region

They had a 30 minute extra Q&A after the AEM about the future of the OP campus. Anyone hear anything new about that?

Follow up on TRo:
To nobody's shock, the actual reason behind RTO is due to inflate real estate value.
Confirmed increase in investment in local hire, goal is to eliminate remote hires entirely.
Current remote employees will be eliminated over time, first on the chopping block.
Expect a surge of investment into office spaces.

Confirmed february layoffs

That's great. Great.

Three times a week.

Just had a conversation with my Director and they stated that Enbridge in Ontario will be going back to full 5 days per week in the second quarter. Stated this is to be in line with the Province of Ontario mandated all government workers back to a full 5 days.

I do believe what I was told but guess will wait and see.

Is that true?

This new APAC office will relocate to Sing a Poar with hubs in Shanghai, Seoul, and Tokyo!

Checking to see how much change is happening

Management just took our lunch table and barricaded the printer access with it. Apparently they are going to sit their all shift and we cannot present a quote without their approval. Half expecting the bathroom access next and cant gain access until sell a BYOD+

People needs to be ready to choose your parking spot and office next year.

So who all is being moved to infinite?

Good Morning Plano and TPC R&D!

We know some of you may be included on Distribution Lists outside of the R&D-DL and may have seen a note sent to North America specific functions regarding restructuring this week. To clarify, this message does NOT apply to Corp/Global employees. As a Corporate Function, R&D employees should continue to come into Plano and TPC offices this week.

Apologies for any confusion and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Have a good week.

Discussing a potential offer with a recruiter for a 3 days in office role. It is in Dallas. Can this role eventually become 5 days ? That’s a deal breaker.

the columbus office closed yet

She's been 15+ years, disciplinary letter = fired. Badge reports gets run every month

L3s and the rest of the C level just need to stop with the BS. Just say you are coming in the office, that's it, if you want to get a paycheck get your A$$ in the office. This fake caring how we feel or how we work is more annoying than anything. We already know Hadji is in the office for like 3 hours then he heads home. Who really wants to work with there team in neighbor hoods ugh.

ha can we point out the ghetto neighbor hoods?

Just say it, I'm tired of all the playacting BS C level is doing, grow a pair of ba--s and get your @$$ in the office as well.

Anyone else get the notice about TB at PDC? I want to know how whoever had it was contact traced; we don't have assigned desks. So was this person isolated or is Ford just allowing employees to be exposed to TB?

Another knock against 4 day RTO. I don't want to catch TB from the gross PDC.

So it begins.. more and more groups moving back to more days in the office. 4 days for all next…

I heard from my manager that we are getting tracked on time in office now? Is that true?

What events are planned for your office? Sendoffs for the latest alumni class? Holiday lunches? Secret Santa gift exchanges?

Anyone know if this office is still planned to be built at Penn station

Anyone’s guess how much money has been spent on constantly renovating corporate over and over again? And why? Everyone hates going into the office.

So one of my close friends is a manager and he showed me what he sees: how many days per week in the office and total hours per day in the office (badge in/out or network connection, he is not sure know how the hours are actually being tracked). Well the report is very real saw it with my own eyes.

Mutual of America Life Insurance Co. has sold its Boca Raton office campus for a combined $23.75 million, paving the way for a major redevelopment.

The 11.7-acre property at 1150 NW Broken Sound Parkway was purchased in two transactions—$16.875 million by Broken Sound Boca LLC and $6.875 million by MBAL Commercial Owner LLC. The buyers are a partnership that includes Ram Real Estate, Butters Construction & Development, and Altman, part of BBX Capital Corp.

Under the redevelopment plan, Ram Realty will oversee the multifamily component, while Butters will take the lead on the industrial portion. The campus currently features a 76,761-square-foot office building occupied by Mutual of America, which has until July 2026 to relocate before the structure is demolished.

Approvals are already in place for a 287-unit apartment community with a seven-story parking garage offering 481 spaces. The residential plan includes 29 affordable units and 15 workforce units. The industrial section is slated for 63,624 square feet of small-bay warehouse and office space across two two-story buildings, along with 136 parking spaces (1)

The sales proceeds will help cover severance packages for the upcoming layoffs and restructuring, and help the company turn its first profit in 8 yrs.

Any insight into if the building challenges could lead to an accelerated move to Edmonton? Ex. Can’t build a building on-site and therefore Imperial decides to simply lease/buy an existing vacant building downtown Edmonton? I have no legit intel suggesting if this is a valid concern of not.

Hi all just wanted to give a quick update on the hand soap in BH. It appears that “they” have halted all water-down operations.

The soap is back to normal.

Perhaps the compliant raised on this site prior made a difference. Just goes to show you want voicing your opinion on an anonymous forum can achieve.

I encourage everyone to voice your opinion on the matters most important to you! #fisvproud

Or, what monitors do you guys use at home? Any idea what monitors the campus at Frisco uses?

An email came out today stating that all Tampa employees will now require to go to the office 3 days per week (instead of 2 days) starting on January 20, 2026. I guess they want more people to leave on their own.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others,"

This quote best summarizes how I would describe BNY.

Took a new role at another bank but wanted to say thanks for those who posted on here to help others.

I’m gonna miss the devoid and detached emails from Emily as she rammed a company pillar up our cheeks each Monday morning.

I’m gonna miss how they built an office with features we can’t afford because wages didn’t come close to keeping up with inflation and any merit raise covered the cost of health insurance increases.

Keep your heads up if you are still trying to get out. And remember, buy Bitcoin. Or if Robin has his way, Malaysian bonds.

Chevron India is offering their people 2x days a week in the office. I just heard that they plan to keep these, even as US Payroll are being forced to work 4x days a week in office.

So much for "better together"

... personally, if the I'm going to write to Management to try and get India 4x days in office too (including Monday). Fair is fair

How many employees did Basking Ridge office have before Nov 20th layoff?
According to AI, it houses 6000 people. What percentage of the total is the 1319 people they laid-off?
Just wondering, because I read about a WARN Notice investigation online.

For those who get those badge reports, let's say you are based in Optum Circle, but may decide to go to the UHC offices instead on certain days of the week, do you get credit for those towards the 4 days minimum? I asked my boss and they did not know so...

When was Toast’s current hybrid work policy for North America first introduced? The one with different requirements for on-time work for employees living within 25 miles from an office location. Also, is this policy actually enforced for those employees?

It’s awesome that the company spent all this money on renovating the buildings and creating the open floor plan seating just to find out the day of your meeting. You can’t use the office that you booked weeks ago because it has now become somebody’s personal office.

What is the actual point of all of this if they’re just going to change all of the Zirbel offices to individual offices? They should’ve just kept all the conference rooms and let these mo--n stay hidden in their office. This has been such a headache, such a pain, and honestly has created the lowest morale that I’ve seen in a company in my 35 years of working in the corporate environment.

It’s so unreasonable and so disrespectful to treat associates this way when we need a space for an urgent call, we do what we’re supposed to do in reserve it weeks ahead just to have it snatched from us.
