Does a reporting dashboard going up mean that 3 days hybrid is here to stay?

@n1 yep! My manager definitely looks more at the % than hard numbers. So they’re looking for consistency in 80-90%, to allow for those travel days and such.
Business travel should count but apparently it’s up to your manager to decide. What a f*c#ed up system
@je I'm guessing you've never worked with the systems we have at this place. If you had the answer to this question would be very obvious.
It's because we're cheap and we don't invest in anything useful. And our systems are cheap and held together with washi tape.
What about business travel? Does that count?
@jb you’re a good leader!
How in the world are we not able to create a dashboard that works with PTO?
@h3 I’m a manager. Our BL isn’t doing this. Our team sticks to T/W/Th in the office. If a holiday falls on Thursday, we don’t make it up. If my staff takes vac Th/Fri I don’t expect them to make it up.
The dashboard still isn’t accurate due to PTO not being accounted for - which can make a huge difference. I have staff with 2-5 weeks vacation. Until it figures that in based on each individuals PTO, it doesn’t work.
I heard from HR a few months ago that a better dashboard would be rolled out in 2026 that does account for PTO. Until then, I don’t hassle anyone as long as they’re over 80% and if they’re under that, I notate why in my files to CYA…
@h3 also the "if you declared you're coming into the office and then took a day off that day must be made up" what is this sh-t? This is not a thing, and this feels like punishment for using the PTO we earn as a benefit that we LOSE if we don't use it.
Your manager is on some kind of power trip and making up their own rules.
@h3 your manager seems to be creating their own policy here. I have not had this direction and just had a conversation with my boss about being short one day this month due to weather and getting sick as sh-t for a week. If I was expected to make up days that'd have been the time for it.
Sounds like you need to take this direction to HR.
@h3 This is expressly not the policy. Your manager is going above and beyond the actual rules.
@eq You and a few others on this website seem to be writing that PTO/sicktime in 2026 will still count as an excuse for not reaching 3 days in office per week but that's not what my manager has expressed to the subordinates this week.
It's not JUST that the tracking dash doesn't account for PTO/sicktime. But also starting in '26 if you took vacation on any day you declared you were going to come into office (manager made us pick 3 specific days/week) then you must make up the day. This is in combination with coming into the office 3 or more times a week. For some reason my manager neglected to mention 11 times a month. There was mention of "if you take off the entire week" you don't have to make up the days. Alright, so every time I take off work I'll make sure to be off the entire week, I guess? what da F... Clear as mud.
Question: Am I really the only one with this update for 2026? Perhaps this is a specific hub thing? IDK. It is absolutely stricter than 2025, and it's like being punished for going on vacation less than 5 days.
If anyone who is a manager has any more clarification please provide it. Thank you.
The ability to work at home at least some of the days is the best part left about this job. I hate going in the office but I’ll still take some flexibility over none at all like many companies have moved to with this abysmal job market right now. There’s plenty of other things wrong with this company but it appears at least it’s staying 3+/11 days a month however it’s interpreted. I just wish the reporting factored in pto which this version that I see still does not. It’s laughable they can’t figure this out still.
Like some others mentioned I’ve also heard nothing about the 3+ days being moved to anything greater. It’s been brought up a few times in our team meetings and every answer is they’ve heard nothing is changing. I meet the expectation nothing more nothing less and just do my best to stay off anyone’s radar on a daily basis. It’s clear the leadership isn’t interested in building a great culture in return I don’t feel that guilty for not going above and beyond all the time.
@d9 thank you. I'm so fu--ing tired of these "we're going in more days in x quarter" rumors.
Our flexibility here is the only thing we will be able to use to pull in talent. We can probably snipe some talent for a discount from a place that's 5 days a week, regardless of our trash culture here.
No credible rumors
I have heard directly from GK (not that it’s worth a damn), that she has no intent to up the days. She wants to be known as more flexible than her peers.
I’ve heard from senior leaders below her that more than 3 days isn’t even being talked about.
And I’ve directly heard in a 1 on 1 conversation with a credible SVP who needs to know this stuff that more than 3 days hasn’t even been put on the table.
Knock it off with the rumors and using competition as the word of God. It is possible that certain level leaders have been asked for higher levels of attendance, but for the masses this is still just swirling in the rumorville.
@d7 For every hub site? 4 days has been a rumor for so long but I've never seen evidence. Why 4 days and not 5 anyways? Seems like they'd just go to 5 if they're moving up in amount of days
@cw April / Q2
@cw that's been regurgitated here since last year. "4 days a week coming in 2026".
Everyone I know who has a transparent reporting chain, including my own, has heard absolutely nothing about this. The hub strategy supports minimum 3 days a week. They didn't design it for more than that.
It’s been a year and a half and the stupid dashboard still isn’t real time, doesn’t display vacations/sick days. It’s useless after the fact if you find out in February that the scanner wasn’t working in January.
They want to fire you.
The only reason
@bm type office into search bar
I’m hearing rumors of 4 day in office starting in March
I am a manager, and I do not see any change to the manager dashboard that we have had for over a year now. All I see are the people listed and their percentage of being in the office for the month.
It says nothing about number of days, locations where are they badged in, or how long they stayed in the office.
Maybe they have one rolling out soon but I don't see it.
@c9 they can track IP addresses very easily. They can look at how long you're connected to the in-office network versus VPN
@c8 Given we don't scan to leave I don't know how that's possible.
I'm pretty sure this dashboard only rolled out because management now has a dashboard to view attendance by hour, so they rolled the old version out to the serfs at the bottom of the totem pole to make them feel better. If anything they are going to start cracking down more is the expectation I was given.
I don't like going to the office, but we are far better than many other companies. I hope it will not turn into a 5-day RTO like all other banks, such as Chase and BofA. Many of my friends who work in NJ/NY are going to the office 5 Days a week, just likebefore COVID, with a 3-hour commute.
How can one view the dashboard?
I'm tired of the war on remote working. We have been insanely productive for the bank.
