If you’re out on vacation for 1 or 2 days out of the week, what happens with the 3 days in office requirement?
Same question again but on weeks with holidays, what happens with the 3 days in office requirement.

Here is how "we all need to collaborate " is working for being in the office:
1) My manager works at another site in another region and rarely has anything to do with me.
2) Other managers in my site have their doors closed most of the time. (When they're in the office)
3) When you approach another person or manager in your site with a question or an issue, the usual response is: " please send me an email or set up a call " and they walk away like their too busy.
4) There is a large number % of people who are still never in the office.
If ever questioned (which I highly doubt as no one is monitoring the dashboard anymore), your manager can easily point out that you were on vacation that week (or 2 or 4).
HR put all the monitoring into the hands of the managers, who are annoyed A.F. and can't be bothered.
So you are good to go.
I spent years being paranoid around here, and it never mattered. At all.
Learn from my mistake. Ignore them, do the bare minimum, collect your paycheck, live your life and for G0d's sake, Be Happy.
I know I wasted many years letting them wind me up and worrying. Stupid waste of time and energy.
Cronies and favorites come and go as they please, everyone else is made to comply with 3 days in.
Just prostrate yourself om the floor, kiss you manager's az, do them to random favor, make them look good -- and you'll be fine.
Kiss your manager's azz, stick your tongue way up their bu!!hole if you have to.
It's all in their hands and they are empowered to push back and protect you.
That is, if your choice is to remain here.
In which case, I question your sanity.
Depends on the manager but even if they don't monitor dashboard closely, an email is generated to your manager if one of their directs is out of compliance. Eventually, continual non-compliance is flagged at the HR level and they start asking questions.
Is the dashboard still a closely monitored thing? Seems it is no longer senior management's "flavor of the week". They have such a short attention span. They obsess over something for a brief period and then it quickly disappears from their consciousness forever as they move on to the next thing to obsess over.
As long as you have 3 days off entered in workday (any combination i.e. holiday + 2 vacation), employee is counted as compliant for that week on the dashboard.
Never gone in the remaining 2 days when 3 days off entered and when manager checks the dashboard it shows in compliance. Also never gone in during untracked holiday weeks like Thanksgiving and shows good.
If you only have 2 days entered, must go in remaining 3 days OR use it as one of your "out of compliance weeks". Since you only need 4 of the 6 weeks for each reporting cycle to stay green, someone can strategically have some skip weeks. Just be careful, some weeks count in two reporting cycles due to overlap.
The requirement is 3 days, not a percentage. If you are out 2 days of a week, you need to be in the other 3. If you are out 3 or more days, you need to be in the days you are not off.
PTO/holidays/etc are accounted for but the requirement remains for your working days.
A holiday, sick day, vacation day counts as an OOO day and impacts the 3 Day WFH.
