Considering taking a position with the company but am reading about their strict onsite policy. Is it tracked by how many days you are on site or how many hours? How is it addressed if you have an offsite meeting or had to work from home part of your day (such as a coworker asking you to join an early or late meeting before or after you are at the office)?

They’re sc--wed in Clifton if they ever win a contract that requires high volume like the next generation technology is going to require. All the new college grads and the wrong people hired/promoted couldn’t handle it. If Clifton wants any chance of a future, the leadership there has to grow a pair and work on the attrition problem and stop letting HR spread their business cancer narrative.
Many large legacy sites have had headcount shrink 30%+ since 2022. Rochester, Palm Bay, Clifton. Some sites fully closed. Bringing people on site there makes it less empty as headcount continues to shrink. It also creates attrition, which must be a goal from lack of retention efforts.
@1my No one is safe unless you are in the club. You and I are not in the club. The funny thing is every since SM mandated RTO all I've done is Return to Office, socialize and have fun. I do enough to "meet expectations" and not much else. When I WFH, I really Work From Home since I am loved and respected in my home. I can't get anything done in the hostile workplace environment called the office.
@1h3 you say that but before you know it, they will audit that location/workers attendance in office and the managers who have allowed any wfh, will be accountable for getting those workers back in office 100%.. Then it will stop altogether. It’s happened a couple of times that I personally have witnessed. Least you think you are safe……
Drew Trainor at the all hands meeting was asked about monitoring badge swipes. He didn’t say you couldn’t, just basically said don’t give them (corporate) a reason to start looking into us (Clifton). How do other sites feel about this? Especially since we have only one program keeping the lights on for now. The next generation of whatever they’re trying to get into we won’t be able to produce. Very little talent and capability left. No one worth a damn will come back to this place that’s for sure.
It’s highly dependent on your management. I still see people wfh every day, even though they are in office employees
@OP I was told they would be tracking computer activity but that doesnt account for nuance like you mentioned so im unsure how they are actually tracking such things especially those of us who work with our hands and are not chronically on corp
"Is it tracked by how many days you are on site or how many hours?"
Both
"How is it addressed if you have an offsite meeting or had to work from home part of your day (such as a coworker asking you to join an early or late meeting before or after you are at the office)?"
You will still be required to hit your expectations for in-office. Items like you mentioned would be additional to that. Flexibility isn't a strong suit for L3H.
It'll be department and manager dependent. My immediate managers understand that life happens. I'm not saying it's a stellar place to work but we have contracts we're winning and it's steady work.
I haven't had a "talk" other than the year before last when I got over 200 vacation + sick (I had planned outpatient surgery). I was okay, but our CEO is an accountant, and you can guess how that goes.
