Corporations are learning fast from each other how to sc--w employees over, and get rid of them on the cheap, or better yet, for free. Just watch the RTO conditions keep piling up until enough people quit because they can’t or won’t meet them. They don’t care that full RTO pushes the best out first, as people with strong resumes have options. But then again, when was the last time they cared about skill or competence?

@dh sitting in an office is not needed. We proved that for 2 years during the pandemic.
Nobody on this board is leaving. They just whine here. If they had options, they would leave. Clearly they don’t. That’s probably a good indication of the talent and why we started and continue to offshore.
@j3 cutoff for what?? What does this mean? Will someone please clarify and where we can find this info?
@j9 I’m 37 miles. Where can we find this information? And why does it seem like only a few people have the info?
Shew. Good thing i'm 36 miles
@j6 35 miles from where? A hub?
@j3 Is this 35 mile rule on the source? I'm 44 miles
35 miles is the cut-off.
Glad I am still fully remote!
@a1 the 4 day RTO teammates wont quit cause what is one more day? But the special remote teammates will look elsewhere if required to RTO like evetone else. There is a major imbalance of RTO verses remote, especially in mortgage. It makes those forced to RTO while others sit home to feel less valued and lowers morale. How would you like to RTO 5 days while the coworker next you show up once every two weeks? Or leaves daily at 11:OO to pick up the kids? Where is the consistancy? Thats the main issue with teammates. If you are going to force teammates to pre-covid requirements then it should apply equally to eveyone. Leadership should not get to pick and choose.
@dh what a stupid comment.
Spam?
@a1 exactly right. Keep complaining about having to work in an office and crying that you want to work remotely. Keep showing your employer that they don’t need a live human being in an office that they have to pay rent, utilities and the other associated costs.
What did you think was going to happen when you keep working from home?? You are showing your employer that having someone sitting in an office isn’t needed.
They are going to lose their best people, the ones they don't want to lose, not the ones they're hoping to resign.
Yep, staying put but determined to malinger, waste corporate resources, slow down progress, and just be a pain to deal with. But by God, I'm physically in an office now!
Not sure it's a worthy tradeoff for Truist but what do I know? 🤷♂️
I wouldn’t be so sure they aren’t just out of touch id--ts looking for someone to blame for their inept results.
Managers will likely be required to enforce the mandatory 5-day return-to-office (RTO) policy, particularly during performance reviews, using badge swipe data as a key performance indicator. The question then becomes: what are the potential consequences for those of us who are telecommuters and continue to work remotely instead of returning to the office? Would we just face a reduction in our bonus or merit increase? Or, more concerning, could our performance ratings be affected, perhaps downgraded from "Meaningful Impact" to a lower tier such as "Building Impact"? Is there a possibility that continued remote work might lead to termination, or would it primarily result in a diminished bonus or raise? If someone is a high performer, would they really lower our performance rating from "Meaningful Impact" to a "Building Impact"?
For some employees, the RTO policy would necessitate a daily commute of over two hours each way. If the only consequence is a reduction in financial compensation, it might be a practical decision for some to remain remote and accept the potential cut to their bonus or salary increase, rather than endure the burdensome commute, gas and parking expense, etc....
@a3 should say job cuts not counts.
@a1
Agree 100% especially in the is market. So when do official job counts get announced? The company will not really invest in the infrastructure to absorb all employees returning to work.
@a1 I agree with you now. But it won’t always be like that. Once it’s not no one will stay.
The truth, and this is probably going to get downvoted, is that they are finding the opposite. Most don't quit, in fact its less than 5% that actually pull the trigger.. everyone says "if you make me return, I am gonna look for something else" but look around... there is nothing out there! Unless you are super lucky, they have all the power right now.
Not saying I like it, just is what it is.
