Just heard that you will be fired if you do not comply with 8 hours 3 days a week..
They will also be installing badge readers to swipe out at all locations that do not currently have them. As of now, only STL and CT sites has badge out scanners, so they will not be able to track hours at other sites until that is completed in Q3.. be on the lookout for the those!
Good luck out there all
No. You can choose to work 8 hours straight through or you can take a lunch break, which will not count as time in office.
does the 8 hours in the office include a 1 hr lunch break?
@7yrf+1siJThfj For buildings we lease, they are trying to get badge out in place. Since negotiations are with landlord/property owner company, grounds manager may not know about it yet. Security definitely wouldn’t know, and probably won’t until implementation. If landlord won’t allow updates to badging, then managers will be expected to request LAN connection reports and enforce that way. HR will be randomly auditing and managers who aren’t enforcing/writing up their direct reports for violations will get written up themselves and possibly fired. Cigna is going all in on this, and a company with as many resources and as much money as they can throw at this will make sure it happens. They will make sure, as the OP put it, you comply or be fired.
How sure are you that they will install badge swipe outs? Asked a building manager /secuirity on my site and the guy said no. Only badge ins to the building
More than those two sites have badge swipes. Many more. And there is badge reporting being sent to Managers.
@1cxu+1siJThfj No, nothing is changing for those with the designation of WAH. This was communicated with the initial rollout of FOW, and all of the designations are outlined in Iris.
Oh, and also no extras. No after-hours or weekend availability at all. I will be Fred Flintstone sliding down the brontosaurus the instant my time is through for the day. Anything else will just have to wait.
I am sure senior leadership will understand the results of their actions.
So it is clear that the #1 priority is physical presence in a building. Not meeting deadlines, providing good service, helping co workers, etc.
So I shall provide that. I will be physically present for all my hours. That's it. Any of the basics of my job are going way, way down the list. I hope this meets needs and no additional actions are necessary.
Unless they're also pulling productivity/key stroke reporting on the w@h folks, this ridiculously unfair focus on the poor saps tapped to be in person is utter B.S.
Cigna HATES working mothers. Tell everyone you know the truth about the cr-ppy place we work (or worked) depending if they've already JE'd you or not.
You have many many thousands of people hired and working ages as remote and now they have to be hybrid/3 days in house? Stupid move.
Make sure Cigna's true colors are known. Tell a friend, tell a prospect, tell a journalist or reporter.
Yes! This, about the managers role in this. NO ONE wants to have to enforce this. Managers are forced to comply both to be onsite AND will be on the hook for ensuring compliance of team members. So effectively turning us into highly paid baby sitters, not at all what anyone signed up for. We are all being sent out as HR's little minions to do their dirty work.
The real dystopian part of this is the employee’s manager is also up for termination if the employee doesn’t follow policy. My children are raised and adults now, aren’t the rest of us adults here too? So, if my employee chooses not to comply, now as their manager I am up for termination too? Make it make sense… They are just hoping the trash will take itself out and they won’t have to get their hands dirty with severances.
The new policy talks about the Inperson and In person Interim WAH. What about the folks who are just WAH in workday ? Is their status changing in anyway ?
Why do you think Cigna is trying to get rid of people so bad? Do you think they are hand picking the people that are required to come in to try to get those people to quit?
Dude, they have hard enough time tracking this stuff in call centers. I would just milk non compliance for a quarter and get another job in the meantime.
More locations than just the two you mentioned have badge in/badge out btw.
And it's been in the language since they revealed this scam that not complying means you could lose your job.
Cigna does not care how this affects your personal life..
You comply or get fired and they have made that very clear.. and if you don’t like it, quit, they want that the most
They will combine Workday and badge data to check for PTO/leave
This will be discriminatory against parents with young kids who need more flexibility. For others without the same schedule restrictions, it will just inspire them to sit around and talk until it's time to badge out. Trying to avoid rush hour traffic will get more complicated as well.
Does your connection know how they’ll check for PTO and leave times?
I think they're going to end up with a lot of empty real estate if they plan to stick to that. There has to be some cross-checking for folks on PTO.
Some buildings have the turnstiles for entry / exit already, they just have the "badge to exit" part turned off. I don't think it will take 6 months to implement that in all locations.
It would take way to much time and resources to track people based on their IP
Reliable connection… and they are not tracking connectivity to LAN
They already can track your hours in office via time connected to a company network and IP addresses!
Can you please share where you got the info from? Your manager or department or a reliable connection? I thought they were tracking how long you are connection in their LAN in offices without badge out scanners? But noo??! Helps to know
