Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

In office + mandatory screen time = conflicting messaging

From we've been told, you need 6.5 hours of activity a day. For an 8 hour day, that works out to 1 hour for lunch, and two 15 minute breaks. But the conflict between in-office and mandatory digital activity is really striking. How can you collaborate and work with colleagues if your screen time is measured and reported on.

Want to visit a colleagues desk or have a chat in a meeting room? Better bring your laptop and move your mouse around or it comes out of your lunch/break time.

Is Wells hosting an employee event? A town hall perhaps? If you go, your digital activity average will suffer. You will need to trade your lunch for it, and hope it doesn't run long - or just stay late to compensate.

Its fun that they have a gym at my office, but if I want to use it, I need to either skip lunch or stay late that day.

So many people leave their workstations unlocked now when they step away to the bathroom or to get coffee, so it doesn't count against them.

Meanwhile, years long colleagues randomly disappear, one after another, never to be seen again.

Living the Wells Life.

Skip lunch or stay late…. So you want a lunch hour AND an hour workout? Find a new job that will accommodate thus schedule.

Who takes an hour lunch? And you also want to go to the gym during your working hours? Why would Wells Fargo pay you to work out? You sound very entitled.

@OP since when is lunch included in your 8 hours? Exempt or non-exempt you’re still required to WORK 8 hours.

@ef fairly certain, but not 100% positive, it is last activity of any kind, be it network or badge.

As far as being active on teams etc.. People getti g called out on that, appears to be individual managers commenting to their employees never seen any policy on that. Or atleast not in my area.

There is an official policy for this. The mamager dashboards records your initial badge time and your last recorded laptop activity during the day and subtracts the time do arrive at the hours. It has nothing to do with how much you do throughout the day

@cn No sh*thead. Exempt employees don't have "unpaid" time during the day. We're essentially on the clock all the time.

The only conflict here that is truly telling is where you think your 8 working hours included the time off for lunch. That is UNPAID time off. Now go redo your made up math and drop the woe-is-me self pity.

You will worry yourself into your own health crisis if you don’t put a stop to worrying about every minute of your digital activity. So pointless to have these obsessive thoughts. They will find a way to get rid of you if that is their goal regardless of active minutes.

12-14 hours just to stay afloat. Lunch break? What’s that?

@ac If you work smart and are on top of your deliverables... WHY NOT? If it keeps an employee happy & productive, ALLOW IT.

The fact you include an hour lunch within your 8 hr workday explains perfectly why WF is getting rid of slack mo--ns like yourself. You probably still don't even comprehend what Im saying. Better hope you dont ever have to get a real job prerty much anywhere else where lunches are not part of the 8hr workday.

Most groups aren't measuring by screen activity. It's mainly log in time or badge time at an office.

Also, saying you would go to the gym during work time, and not skip lunch break, is one of the reasons these guys are forcing these rules down our throats. The amazing thing is that you don't see one thing wrong with it.

you're not supposed to be using the gym when you should be working.
