I’m considering an offer at PNC but want to know what it’s actually like. Is it five full days? Do people badge in and then leave at lunch and work the rest of the day at home? I don’t think I can ever go back to five full days but the role seems interesting. So just want to get a sense.

@OP What did you decide?
@ya agree, when production apps go down and the people who need to be online are driving home an hour away maybe it will be noticed wfh is beneficial
@bz I've heard very similar things across the tech teams. May is going to roll around, people will acknowledge it for a few weeks, then it'll go away and everyone will be back to how they were.
@bz I don’t what dept you’re in but hard agree. There seems to be massive disjointment between leadership.
Can’t disagree here. I’m amid/upper manager and there is a rift developing like I’ve not seen in my many years here. It’s a good bank and a solid community partner, but the offsets to low comp (care about people, fair benefits, patient with temporary under-performance) are fading. Look past the gloss of courting you and ask questions like you’re asking. BTW, yes it’s expected to be full five days, and no there is zero chance of that actually happening. I’m ready for discord, favoritism, and looks the other way as some “have an afternoon meeting across town” and evaporate like a fa-t in the wind.
@OP Consider a different offer brotha. there has been no real justification for a 5 day RTO from any of executive leadership. we were sent an email in january that rto 5 days/week will be mandatory in early may. cut and dry email. no recorded message no follow up no feedback requested. recently pnc had its annual compensation review for employees. many employees reported a very minuscule 1.25% pay raise and "maybe" a $1k bonus. there is no such thing as exceeding expectations.there is no such thing as competitive wages. there is no such thing as a promotion. seniority means nothing. and it seems like experience /skills don't mean as much anymore. people have left. some teams have dwindled. its going to get ugly before it gets any better. and it might be years before things get better. executives are very out of touch of the day to day life of tens of thousands of their employees. we should be learning very soon how much the ceo was compensated last year. over $22M in 2024. the rto5 is purely politically driven.
i know several people who still work there. i left a while ago.
