Any other lines of business that are going in 4 days besides Corp Risk?

Heard a rumor that HR is going in 4 times a week in team meeting is that true?
@w6 what business line?
We were told today that it is going to be 4 days a week and at least 8 hours a day. The bearings will continue until morale improves. We all know it has zero to do with ‘collaboration.’
@vv source?
4 days week is true. DF jumped the wagon ahead to retain his position. Corp Risk will be decentralized soon. Individual LOB will handle the risk function. So more layoffs soon
@b3 is designed to frustrate and get people to walk themselves out the door voluntarily. Saving them paying severance. Feels good to be valued so much, right?
There never has been, and never will be, "to much freedom" for any employee in a corp setting. Execs might have to much, but not the employees. The real word for it would be "empowerment". But, yeah. Not a thing.
We had a town hall for our org recently. Or OC leader flat out got asked about 4 weeks. He said it’s the same as it’s been, that three days is the bank-wide minimum and that individual orgs can require more days than that if that’s what their leadership decides. He says that the orgs that have recently announced 4 days have made that decision at the individual level.
As for our org, he basically said that decision has not been made yet at this time but they regularly reevaluate, and if they ever decide to increase us to 4 days we will be told well ahead of time to give people time to plan to adjust. Personally I took that to mean “it will happen someday soon enough, we just haven’t decided when yet.”
The more they tighten the sc--ws the less valuable and profitable the company has become. It's not a coincidence. When I was 1 up from the ICs I had unbelievable freedom to make decisions that now rest in the hands of the OC. It's a complete joke. We have to submit a request to wipe out a$$. This company needs to start empowering people, or drones will be the only types that stay here. The buildings are a massive waste of money. Get rid of 90% of them, hire remote at 80% of the cost, and crush your comp on efficiency. Or, I dunno, muddle a long following other leaders and what they do, never accomplishing anything as this company slowly slides into the abyss. That's an option too.
@dg you aren't talking to the right people then
Nope - heard we are sticking with 3 if you are rank and file
Charlie lastly just said during the ceo townhall, "I don't care if you work 6 days or 3 days in the office as long as the work gets done".
Can they just stop with this sht already, it's so old. Let us enjoy time with our f'ing family instead of commuting to sit next to someone you dont even f'ing work with in the office. So sick of this sh-t. Or just f'ing lay people off already, but be done with the bullsht.
@ad unfortunately, it is true. This isn't the rumor of years past.
Look, every company seems to be going to an office routine once again. Trust me we had to much freedom during and after covid and most all of us took advantage of working at home in our under wear and keeping little ones home to save on costs and added a gym and inground pool where we swam drinking wine before 3pm.
We thought it would last forever. The lack of results that would have increased profits and bonuses we traded for freedom is over. No more golf and tennis. Back to long commutes and daycare. We did it to ourselves. I am saddened the chickens came home to roosť
@ad who did you ask?
It's not going to 4 days a week company wide, yet another rumor to keep you chicken littles trembling. We asked today, it's LOB specific 100%
@aa lol so bitter
Many in CIB are five days a week and have been so for years. Stop complaining or just leave.
@a7 reportedly 4 days in office firmwide as of Jan1, 2026
@a6 so the company is going in 4 days soon?
WIM Compliance already notified about 2 weeks ago too Firmwide announcement is supposed to be coming soon.
commercial banking has been 4 days per week for quite a while
Everyone will be going to 4 days. Corporate Risk is just the first to announce it
Everyone eventually
I’ve heard CRE and some jobs in CIB force people to come in 4 days per week. My assumption is that risk is bloated at the moment and they are trying to entice as many people as possible to leave on their own rather than paying out the severance they deserve. Therefore, their goal is to make it as miserable as possible to work there until they hit their quota.
