Heard from a reliable source, that managers will be required to do 5 days a week in office from Sept this year and everyone from March 2027. Anyone else heard this?

@p0 Who cares? Quite your complaining and be grateful you have a job. With everything going on right now who cares if someone is mostly wfh?
If I’m back to 5 days a week then I don’t need a laptop… I will take a desktop pc please. And then the company will have to pay out for DR sites again. My home is not your free DR site unless I am afforded something in return.
@t7
TSG is 20 days because when you work 6 and 7 days a week, overnights, weekends, week-nights, on are on call 24x7, 20 days is enough for anybody.
Why TSG still doing 20 days per-quarter, fair game
What about the sneaky people who come in and leave mid day? They are not in the same office as their managers. When management visits they stay all day. How do they get away with it?
@ng
The bank was going to go back to 5 days in office no matter if people followed directions or not.
It's the easiest way to get people to quit and banks are full of uptight non progressive people.
@hc You still can.
@b5 Not contractually you didn't. It was at your manager's discretion and authorization which is how it should be but guess what? When the firm asked everyone to do 2 days, a bunch of d-mba$$es tried to be smart and gamed the system by coffee badging and other shenanigans which effed it up for everyone else and now the firm has implemented a tracking system to enforce their requirements and to use it to expel those bad actors.
@av I do my best work at home.
@fw you sound sooooo not smart. Like a shill. Like a fool
more soft layoff tactics to cover for their out of control AI lie, move along, nothing to see here
@a4 Our area was able to eirk one day per werk remotely back then.
@a3 No, we were able to work remotely one day per week.
@gp don’t worry, they’ll continue to make up reasons to fire people and free up seats.
We about to be sitting on each other laps. We don’t have enough seats for 4 days a week right now. We have people using the cafe or break area to work.
They don't even have the space to seat for 4 days a week and you think 5 is happening?
lolk.
It seems that people team is on this thread because only insane would say such things
@c5
Imagine if we just remained in the 1950's. Times change, and if 5 days is what companies are doing and RV wants 5, that be it.
You really have a choice to go elsewhere or open up your own business and hours, no?
@fa
People you really need to get a grip and reality is that most companies are already working 5 days.
You have a choice to go elsewhere.
@av complete and utter clap trap. No commuting to or from work. Working later in the being because you’re already at home. No unnecessary bullsh-t meetings to attend just to be “seen” no office politics just the freedom to get your job done . Although I would argue a mo--n like you probably requires in office supervision to stop you drooling on yourself or to make sure your tied your shoelaces properly
That could be the final straw to push me out the door, which, of course, is what they want.
It's obviously a tactic to get rid of staff. Would a legit company that talks about innovation and AI all the time really force its staff back to 20th Century work conditions?
Maybe we can go back to Windows 95 and no Internet while we're at it.
6 days a week coming soon...
which is ridiculous as it never was before covid
@a3+1kfaxsn3z No, 5 days was not the norm prior to 2020 and not the direction groups were headed. My team started downsizing staff in 2016. By around 2017 / 2018 all staff positions were gone and shifted to India. We were told part of the perk of not having staff was more flexible work hours and we could work from home up to two days a week. When Covid hit in 2020 and everyone was struggling to get monitors and laptops, etc we were set up from day one because we had the ability to be fully remote for at least 2 years already. This company is full of cr-p!
Yeah 5 days RTO will definitely be a "until tomorrow" mindset with laptop tucked away.
The good news is that a portion of us will be VVV corpses and not have to do this.
Going back to 5 days in the office is ok as long as we go back to separating work time from home time. Do not call or text me outside of working hours. Do not expect me to log on from home and do extra. Work while sitting in the office. The company cannot have the benefit of people being always online and yet not provide any flexibility. Let’s go backwards. That shows great leadership. As long as the stock price is at an all time high, the employees do not matter to leadership.
Wrong, I worked from home every Friday for a good 10 years before covid.
Glad I'm retired now and don't have to deal with this idiocy and people like you anymore.
@av people who wfh work. Sounds like you dont seeing you have a clear description of your day. People like you are why the rest are being sc--wed over
Office is for work and collaboration. Home is for playing with kids not in daycare and playing fetch with the dogs in between scheduled meetings and shopping with fewer crowds while everyone else is working
Definitely coming PNC just announced recently as well.
Lol
And nothing says "innovation" more than desperately clinging to how things were done before.
Normal working conditions again? Sweet
Is goldman 5 days? Then we will be.
Monkey see, monkey do - Our CEO doesn't have a novel thought of his own if that hasn't been made abundantly clear yet
5 days in 2027 if you still have a job in the US or if BNY exists.
@a3 it was.
Before COVID, 5 days was the norm for everybody, right?
