Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Anybody else still coffee-badging?

I have been coffee badging ever since RTO started and I have never heard anything from my manager about time spent in the office. I am the sole person on my team at my location so I never see anyone I know when I go in. So I typically take a few calls at the office in the morning then head home to finish up.

Reading all the posts here about managers cracking down about number of hours in office makes me curious if I’m the only one who hasn’t had any related time tracking guidance yet? I don’t see myself changing up my in-office routine unless I hear something from my manager directly.

There’s all kinds of ways of gaming the system.
I’m not going to share how I’ve gamed the system for years, on this site, just to have the company close the loopholes I’ve been exposing.
When you’re kind of an on-demand type of employee just waiting for work, you need something else to fill your time.
All I can say is, just think about it. Badge swiping and network activity. What time of day you’re swiping your badge? If you don’t have to badge out, all the better.
If all we have to do is log onto the network, who says we actually have to be doing anything on the computer? The laptop can be plugged in on the network, locked away in the overhead cabinet in the cubicle.
Everyone has a smart phone. checking email, Microsoft team meetings, etc.
Anyway, I’m not gonna give away all my secrets. Just think outside of the box.
Finally, when work does come my way, then I do it.

If you are in sales like a financial advisor, they might not care as you are bringing money in to the company.

If you're lucky enough to be in this situation, shut the fu-k up about it online.

@d6 Your type of superiority complex is what makes working in a corporate environment insufferable.

@b9 Your expectations carry as much weight as your grammar. People like you really need to be fired for "incompatibility with a corporate environment."

Expectations are great. I expect my execs to not be habitual liars. I expect leaders to trust their managers, to give them agency so they are free to innovate and make the tactical decisions they need to make without getting an approval from the OC. I expect execs to focus on growing the company, not a never ending war against domestic employees. I expect the rules to apply to everyone and minimal hypocrisy--no more fake hubs being created for newbie executives. No more personal assistants that can be remote while thousands of others get downsized for it. I expect the executives to support WFH for the roles and people where it makes sense, because it the company more efficient and drastically improves the potential talent pool vs having just a handful of cities we can hire in.

You’ll hear about it OP. Just a matter of time.

Maybe people are getting turned in by snitches - that’s my theory. Otherwise people would be getting warnings en masse. I know for a fact my exec doesn’t even do 8 hours

@a6 the RTO report and the actual RTO hours/Productivity report are two wholly separate items. A 3 on RTO doesn’t mean you show up as 8 hrs in office.

@op I’m still doing it as well and have not been called out, even though several others all around me (same team and sister teams) have been if they were 4.x and lower hours.

I have a couple of theories, perhaps with coffee badgers they can’t calculate it correctly for now or they are saving us all up to skip a warning and go straight to a more serious retribution.

All I know is a +3 in my area is having meetings with employees and their managers to clearly state expectations.

Yes, still coffee badging and haven't ended up on the 8 hr/day list or the 3 days/week list.

Manager hasnt said anything because HR is reviewing your case to determine proper documentation.

Same here.
Manager recently said RTO report shows 3 solid days per week.

If you're gonna do it, start doing it twice a day 8 hrs apart.

Even with the drive increased time probably more productive than an open floor plan
