What's with the site visit page these days?

The last week or so, on the "site visits" in workday it said something about "ODW" and now it says "as we transtion to enterprise to the enterprise platform, site visit reporting will be retired." Uhhhh what?

IF i had to make a guess, it's something to do with maverick going live in May but I could be wrong... I'd love to think that this means they won't be tracking anymore but... I can't see that happening, unfortunately.

They are probably - for some reason - going to take the site visits visual away from us so we can't see how many days we've badged in, that way people can't "plan" ahead of time for days/weeks they want to not go in, or some bs like that.

I keep an excel spreadsheet with my days because the badge readers are sketchy and I make sure to stay for at least an hour or so, that way I have literal proof that I WAS in the office if push comes to shove... "it says you were only in 3 days last week, how come" pulls up VPN logs and shows that i was connected to a dell internal network 5 days. Luckily I have access to my own VPN logs :)

A simple splunk querey can and does pull up those who ACTUALLY CONNECTED to a Dell network, btw. I've done it myself.

But, wtf does this even mean lol? I don't think tracking is going away because I feel like there would be an official email stating that?

@gm Exactly this plus internet speeds at my house are easily 10x what I get in the office.

@bx It's pretty simple. Per statements made by my manager, I get close to 3x more work done from home. This is because the environment in my housr is quieter and less distracting. I can also actually take my breaks/lunch when I am at home. My customers also complain about all the background noise when I take calls from the office.

@bx Because a lot of orgs/teams are spread across the globe or country and, whats the point in going into an office to join virtual meetings...?

Are you really that dense?

@bx Why? Because I'd far prefer to be in the comfort of my own house for 8 hours/day... Rather than in some bland office for zero reason. Dressing up lol? Yeah well I throw on some jeans and a shirt and call it a day. Half the time I wear shorts.

Su-ks to be in an org where you have to dress up LOL

@bx

Might have to encounter a bootlicker like you. Who wants their day ruined like that?

I think it’s because we are moving away from all prior tools and just using one Dell way for everything. I am sure they will track every little thing in that tool.

I don’t understand the concept of badging in for an hour and leaving. You’re up, dressed and there. What’s with that? Do you all live a mile from the office?

or, you're read too much into it looking for a conspiracy.
