#workinghours

I’m starting to wonder if a regular workweek exists here anymore. Why is everyone doing extra time and acting like that’s just part of the job now?

In all this mess, good thing is that no one is controlling if you work from office 3 times a week for a long time. So stay home, learn new skills, and send those applications

Anyone else find the flexibility hours unnerving? Since when did they change hours of operation to 5am-6pm ct? As far as I knew it was 5am-10pm ct. I’ve always worked a later shift that no longer falls within their new hours of operation.

With this auto schedule program if you don't have 100% open availability you won't be scheduled because TLs aren't able to adjust it at all and our store was told today by TMS that full time hours are now 30 instead of the 36 we were getting looks like we will all be losing benefits as well since 30 hours isn't considered full time

I’m not going to bother logging on my laptop until it’s time to get my W-2 form for this year of hard work I have been preforming.

I will never be available outside office hours again.

Friday tomorrow. You know what that means. I’ll be in the office at 5AM sharp to drop off my laptop. I’ll connect to the LAN and clear my inbox, then head home around 7 to eat breakfast abs watch the masters. I’ll sit on the couch all day and drink beer as I watch every angle of every shot. Around 1 when I’m on the way out to the bar with the fellas, I’ll stop by the office to pick up my laptop after a solid 8 hours are logged. Nobody I work with is in the same office as me anyway so nobody can even question it. As long as your report shows 8 hours, nothing else matters anymore. I’ll check in again Monday morning. RTO has changed my life and now life is good. All you gotta do is “show up”.

How many hours does an individual need to stay in the office to count as a day?

I do not understand.

A standard work day is 8 hrs. Why all of a sudden are people so stuck on 6 hrs in the office? Shouldn’t it be 8?

Since when have we ever had a 6 hr workday?

Has anyone spoken to their manager about the rule that we have to be in the office 8 am to 5 pm! My wife and I are trying ti figure out how to do school drop off and pick up without incurring the expense or before and after programs.

I’m for ending Summer hours to increase stock value. There will be a morale hit and some grumbling and attrition. But the employees will adjust.

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!???

8 & Skate - Give me a detailed description of your daily routine, and how you structure your day.

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

Hours keep getting cut at the store I work out (nothing new) but I was wondering if other stores having their hours cut too?

I see a lot of people talk about 50 or 60-plus hours, and it always surprises me because I’ve never worked more than the standard 40. My reviews have always been great, so I’m genuinely confused about the disconnect.

Following up on the email from yesterday regarding the 401k and today's town hall, I need to address the ongoing issues we're facing. It’s unacceptable that we are constantly being pressured to violate labor laws by working through lunch. PTO has essentially been eliminated, and now we have to seek permission from Workforce just to take time off.

Additionally, being asked to handle two chats at the same pay after the recent pay cuts is beyond unreasonable. We deserve clarity on what management truly expects from us. Why is there a lack of communication regarding the reasons behind these changes? Are the whistleblower TikTok videos the cause of this? It’s time for transparency and respect for the workforce.

Well said, @2m0+1katwry9c.

Gotta make sure you stay on the right side of management

Just a quick reminder that while we’re all committed to collaboration, scheduling meetings at 4 a.m. feels less like ‘flexibility’ and more like a hostage situation. Work–life balance shouldn’t require night vision goggles. Unless the building is on fire or we’re launching a rocket, no one should be required to function professionally at that hour.

It’s pretty stupid that after knocking out my work, day after day I have to sit in my chair and wait to get my “8 Hours in”. Is 7-7.5 hours going to be enough to stay off the list? Or, are they really going after people who have 7.5 hours in office? I’m already incredibly annoyed by this d-mb rule and I can’t believe we’re being treated like teenagers! Hopefully this nonsense ends soon

I clock in at around 8:30 AM, then around 2 PM, I left the office… I came back around 4:30, and I left at 5 PM. Do I get credit for 8.5 hours?

5-6 hours is enough if you go back home and finish up there
8 hours is perfection

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!!!

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

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

To drive down salaries and increase work hours to 12 hours- Nasscom members resorting to layoffs to force Indian Government to accept exploitative employment practices.
No amount of union activism will help. Selective boycott of top companies by Tech pros - will only work.
Done apply to top 5 IT services firms. Avoid joining and recommending. Staff should refrain from referring new folks.
Spread the work among college grads that IT is not good track any more

After they started making threat, i cleared all my calls pre 9am calls so i could BE in the office 8 hours min. They want 9 to 5 in the office, that's what they get. I suggest all do the same.

Does anyone definitively know how Wells Fargo is tracking your "working hours"? I hear that the next big layoff is going to target people who are working only 10 to 20 hours a week. I work more than that (I hope) but it got me thinking about how they are tracking it. I have a permanent work from home exception so they cant track me through ID swipes. It just makes me nervous that they might be using a method that excludes me working remotely.

It sounds like 8 hours no matter where you are. In effect quashing the new policy

Must be in office 8+ hours with no exceptions. Hammers coming down. Charley and Flowers out for blood. This company is the pits

How many hours is that exactly? 6,7,8,8.5? Are they trying to keep this vague on purpose?

My group wasn't told this, who said this? I have most my calls from 6am to 10am with people in India. Do they expect me to get up at 4am to get to the office by 6am to take these calls? It's not going to happen, and i don't like threats. A word of warning to management. You track this stuff, you now have discoverable data that any outside law firm can get a court request for.. They will love to slice and dice that data to see different classes of workers doing different hours. Law firms love suing big banks for stuff like this, and with data like this, its a gold mine.

The facts are WFC is using this site to drive a narrative and fearmonger. The Schart does not keep his word. Employees need to STAND UP BOMBARD THE DOL, Regulators, POLICYMAKERS, AND FRIENDS. Report all the nonsense you are experiencing.

Remember ALL YOU SALARIED EMPLOYEES , IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO DICTATE A SALARIED EMPLOYEE’S HOURS IN OFFICE. STRAIGHT FACTS!!!

Stop letting them treat you like high-school kids. You are professionals. Only thing that wells ever did good qas exploit loopholes since THE Schart joined. This company has become unamerican.

PS, don’t accept any awards. The Terms upon acceptance could be hiding things like how the bonus is paid out etc.

You are professionals, make them treat you like one already.

They arrive at 8am and leave around 2:30 for daycare pickup but never see them back online or available for any meetings later in day. How do people get away with this!? My workload would not allow that.

Got a message from my manager saying full office hours are expected if you are in office :(

Racists , stressful and cutting everyone’s hours.. Della Martin Center psych unit is unsafe

has anyone ever had to extend their hours of operation as you were working a standard 7/8hr shift? got a phone call mid day and literally had to accept the fact I am stuck inside my store for the next 5 hours rather than the initial 2. Doesn't make any sense especially since there aren't too many students and it's always dead past a certain point, literally just rotting away. I do feel very disrespected considering how out of the blue it was and am mentally clocking out of this company as the days pass lol
