As we transition to ODW, site visit reporting will be retired. However, the expectation remains the same: Onsite team members are expected to work a regular day from a Dell office five days a week. While attendance will not be shared, this expectation is non-negotiable
Have we won the battle?
@gj sitting in office to avoid rto related layoffs is FUD, like others have said rto is just an excuse to layoff low performers. Coffee badge everyday, max of 30 seconds in office, and it has never been raised to me. If they swap to a new system that is even less transparent, then the ability to feign ignorance grows even stronger. No one wants to play hall monitor, so I have HUGE doubts that they will try to make it stricter.
Sounds like this is designed so they can give the actual valuable employees a break while still being able to use attendance as an excuse to fire the people they want to.
Proceed with caution.
@gf Currently badge swipes on weekends does count whether you work them or not. If I am near the office when running errands on sat/sun I'll swing by and scan my badge. This reflects in workday when tbe report is eventually released.
@av My regular workday is sitting in the office for 2 hours, going home, then working the next 6 hours in my home.
Once could hope but trust me, tracking is NOT going away. At least not yet... I have no clue what "ODW" stands for but I saw that as well and it's been there for a few weeks now. There isn't any benefit to taking away the tracking visuals to us (IC's) as many of us will just track it via a spreadsheet or something lol - I already do because the badge readers are sketchy af...
I'd recomend going into office for at least an hour or two just so your computer connects to VPN, then peacing out... but no, the "war" has not been won and it will never be won. If anything they just scale back to a minimum days in office per quarter, or MAYBE quit tracking but... no war has been won.
@g9 once again, good luck enforcing it. Snowy days, appointments, kids, vacation time, PTO, constantly f*'d badge readers and we don't know it.... life happens. Does swiping a badge if you work weekends count? We don't know. I know my director doesn't give a cr@p. Even my manager delivered our teams reviews from home.
@ba It's going to your boss's boss or maybe even higher uo tne ladder. Decisions are being made at that level to prevent direct managers from protecting/favoring anyone.
@f1 please elaborate...I'm going to guess you're just another person who thinks they know what it is but really have no idea
RTO will be the least of your problems after ODW.
@eb One D-mb Way
What is ODW?
@b9 where is the NEW info theyre talking about with it going away? If it is not visible in the future for me or my boss, Im straight up not even coffee badging. Who's to say my scanner just stopped working since I couldnt check anymore
@b8 look in your Workday site visit info. Also, it's posted in Inside - Onsite Work
Where is this info?
No we haven't won the war. In true Dell fashion they are making the methods that are used to track us, as well as tbe expected tesults, less transparent.
You left out ‘Workday’. Workday tracking will be retired, because Workday is going away. They aren’t saying they won’t be tracking at all, it just won’t be from Workday. It’s interesting that IC’s and their managers won’t have access to it. But someone higher up will.
Also, they added ‘regular work day’ throughout… basically trying to address coffee badging. But ‘regular work day’ is vague and can be different from one person to the next.
We didn’t just win the battle. We won the war!
You'll never know until you test the system.
