Wfh vs in office staff

Glad they continue to show favoritism for in office folks when they created separation amongst staff. Lets pretend wfh staff doesn’t exist on any level except to pick up the dirty work, But lets continue to ensure in office staff get goodies , parties and recognitions. Great job making everyone feel part of the team

Weirdest things that happened at your Comcast office

Does anyone here have any crazy, wild, or just outright weird stories from Comcast?

During my time at Chesterbrook, PA location we had a BedBug infestation, apparantly an employee brought it into work and we had to go on lockdown back in 2016 to exterminate.

Also had an employee who was black out drunk at a Happy Hour and was asked to sleep it off in her car, Yikes.

4 day office start date

I'm a manager in Manchester and I have just been told today that despite what the in office scorecard for flex employees is telling my team, they must start doing 4 days a week from 1st September (despite one week to go of the 4 week period). Seems pedantic and fussy to me.

Anyone else been told this? Not sure how will enforced.

RTO 4 days sept

So I work in Everett and we are being told 4 days a week will occur for some time now it's fine I get it. I am on a specific client so I am in a certain secluded area, what I do not get is there is now being asked to return on specific days per person. I wasn't in office when asked due to vacation so my slotted days are just being demanded upon me. There is not enough desks where I am now for what we have in terms of my team at 3 days a week and Managers at 4, How are we going to cram Boston people here too. My manager claims they are getting a new section for us or an additional section with seats but like anything here it was false promises. This place is so terribly ran Site wise I am amazed the little ground hog that runs around here has a job still.

RR5 3W

Email went out today outlining the company's plans to finally eliminate the 90s cubes on RR5 3rd floor, starting with 3W on August 29.

The good news is that employees will get to WFH during reconstruction.

The bad news is that the desk count on 3W will almost double in the same amount of space.

Visa Office Strategy Announcement

Did anyone else feel let down by the office strategy announcement at the town hall? Aside from the Foster City remodel, there was no mention of other locations and no clarity on how teams will be impacted. They skipped over all the submitted questions. With this and the AI hype, all signs point to more people losing jobs.

AT&T’s return-to-office mandate forces 9,000 to relocate or resign: ‘Layoff wolf in RTO sheep’s clothing’

Googlers reportedly in uproar over RTO crackdown: ‘Check my work, not my badge’
AT&T ordered 60,000 managers to report to one of just nine offices nationwide — drastically consolidating its footprint and leaving 9,000 workers with the choice to relocate or resign.
The US telecom giant, which currently has 350 offices across 50 states, reportedly is calling workers who have been remote since the onset of the pandemic to a handful of outposts to save money and inspire collaboration, according to Bloomberg.
One manager, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, called the move “a layoff wolf in return-to-office sheep’s clothing.”
AT&T CEO John Stankey announced the on-location assignments will take effect in July in Dallas and Atlanta, and will be implemented everywhere else by September.
He told Bloomberg that the 60,000 managers will be required to report to one of the nine designated offices at least three days per week based on their specific duties.
Of AT&T’s 300-plus hubs, two core central offices in Dallas and Atlanta, plus locations in Los Angeles; San Ramon, Calif.; Seattle; St. Louis; Washington; and Middletown and Bedminster, N.J., will be used.
People local to one of these nine offices are reportedly still eligible to be reassigned to another.
About 9,000 AT&T managers will be forced to relocate or resign under the telecom giant's new return-to-office mandates, which will assign workers to a hub no matter where they currently live.

Staley estimated that among the managers affected, about 9,000 — or 15% — will face the choice of relocating or leaving the company.
For those who decide to move, relocation offers will be made on a case-by-case basis, an AT&T spokesperson told the outlet.
Meanwhile, several managers at the phone company said the number of managers having to make this decision is likely closer to 25,000 based on office reductions and task-specific assignments.
Insiders told Bloomberg that the return-to-office mandate has created a sense of unease among employees — who have worked from home since the onset of the pandemic — as details about new assignments and the process used to relocate individuals remain obscure.

An internal document sent to workers said: “Your leadership team will determine your designation and work location based on the needs of the business, work groups and collaboration partners.”
“Depending on your role, it’s possible your work location could change,” the memo added, according to Bloomberg.
The Post reached out to AT&T for comment.
AT&T has not been shy in recent years about axing employees in an effort to cut costs, and is known to periodically shed workers and dollars through an internal process known as “surplussing.”
Since 2020, AT&T has let 69,000 employees go as part of a $6 billion money-saving effort, Bloomberg reported.
This time, though, seems different. One vice president told her team that she’s “never seen us do something this drastic this quick,” Bloomberg reported.
“Many will make decisions that are appropriate to their lives,” he told Bloomberg of employees either relocating to keep their job at AT&T or resigning.
He continued: “If they want to be a part of building a great culture and environment, they’ll come along on these adjustments and changes. Others may decide, given the station of life they are in, that they want to move in a different direction.”

Google has also recently cracked down on its return-to-office mandate, including tracking employee badge swipes. Most employees are required to be in the office three days per week. The workers have been warned that poor attendance records could adversely affect staffers in their individual performance reviews.

Facebook parent Meta also ordered its workforce to be on-site at least three days per week beginning this fall — the latest move in Mark Zuckerberg’s ongoing “year of efficiency” at the tech giant that has slashed 21,000 jobs.
