I love coming to the office to see everyone (including me) play on their phones.

@je hope you are investing a bunch in Mag7 and QQQ.
The gravy train may suddenly stop.
We have about twenty on our team but only two or three of them do all the work while the rest of us play on our phones and play grab a$$ with each other during office days. We are all completely content to make 150k+ a year as long as WF is willing to pay us to do nothing.
I guess I am the old guy now. Bummer
You Gen Y and Gen Z are easy to pick out in these comments.
It’s actually national mind your own business day.
I’m on my phone all day, with ear buds and Spotify. Unless I have a Teams meeting. I need it to stay focused from hearing everyone loud on their Teams calls. At home I don’t need to do this.
@af
^^^ This!!
Look at most people, it's like deer in the headlights on most calls.
Zombies when in office. Why? Because nobody works with anyone there. Nor cares.
I have been tracking reorgs in my world and so far, in the high 40's now. Just for my area within 2 years.
Failed implementations, process, direction, and constant churn of "leaders" through the doors, all becomes white noise.
I cannot beieve they can't figure it out.
Copilot todo tasks quickly
Time frees up
Trade stocks in now free time
Profit?
Rinse and repeat
@a6 Did what I was told and used co-piolt to complete tasks quicker lol
I don't know about you all but the teams I've been on have been through three re-orgs (including a >50% headcount cut) in the last 5 months. So many things are in process of changing that any effort I put in is likely to be on objectives that will change in the next week or two. I try to do enough to keep my customers in the LOB happy and stay off the radar of any reporting/monitoring, but there's zero reward to putting in extra effort right now.
If Wells wants hustle from their workers, the working environment needs to have some measure of stability first. Maslow's hierarchy of needs and all. If people are mentally checked out en masse, that's an organizational failure, not something that can be chalked up to personal responsibility
From the person sitting at work posting this on their phone…
Well, we were mandated to trundle back to the office. Not to better accomplish day-to-day tasks.
Nope, we were called to a higher purpose. We are here to collaborate, to cross-functionally communicate, to mentor, to strengthen and uphold the best aspects of our company culture.
If we don't have 8 hours worth of that each RTO day, of course we will revert to padding out the mandatory time in our own ways. Can't leave early to do task work at home. That's not important enough to the shot-callers.
To the extent this is an issue, it's a failure at the very top. Workers should not carry any accountability here.
Office workers. Doing nothing but getting paid. Why would ANY company pay for people to do nothing all day. Even at home. Could save millions.
Oh well. Easy non work. Try a real job.
@OP
They're on here posting about how their life is so horrible with being forced to actually work for Wells Fargo...
There are cameras all over the buildings. It's only time until they crack down on this.
Sounds like there are still more people than work to do. I'm sure higher management appreciates you letting them know.
