How was the RTO for those in the MN/DC office? Did you have monitors on the desk, was it clean, the cafeteria open, etc?

There's hardly anyone from my team in ANY building here. With only a few exceptions, they're all in India.
The RTO mandate is effectively an arbitrary new condition of continued employment. And by "continued" I mean only until Big Brother decides they can do okay without you.
@jp GL 32's wear jeans daily, its not a big deal
@jp I heard from someone who has been in the office the last couple days and they said a lot of people are wearing jeans. I doubt anyone cares. I won’t know anyone in the office from my area so jeans it is
@dg I love how you say “lazy” employees. What is your definition of lazy? Are you just salty because some people are more efficient? you want to call them “lazy” because they don’t work a solid 9 hours a day with only one break. Maybe because they get the WORK done in half the time you can.
@jn I'm curious about dress code as well. Are there fashion police making sure no one shows up in jeans and a polo shirt?
Are they tracking time in office?
That is coming as I hear. Business is checking on risks before firing telecommuters who cannot move or come to office. And hire those role in Philippines or India
@j8 my manager told me they’ll be looking at a report to see if you swiped your badge in
How exactly is this RTO being enforced if your manager is located in an entirely different state? I know my manager isn't in favor of this anyway.
@aa bro. Point on the doll where the maga hurt you. You’ve got some pent up anger there. Optum has some services for you that may help. Look into it.
@b3 I’m starting to think those 9:25-3:50 employees are on to something…
If you are a telecommuting in sparq how do they decide your "business" city? Is there a reason for it? Mine is a hour and 20 min away.
@bt too many. If RTO was truly around togetherness and collaboration they would fire everyone who doesn’t live around the MN office or any office where a team should be based out of. But they won’t so it’s clear that’s not actually what they care about
@b3 - exactly. Lazy employees are just as lazy from home as in the office.
How many people were sitting in MN and were the only person in their department in the building while the rest of your team was still remote?
Everyone seemed pretty on edge understandably. Tried saying hello to a few people as I know zero people here. Everyone kinda blows you off. Another hour or so and we can sit in traffic for the long grind home.
Going in did affirm this place is trash. Stressed out and unhappy team was clear as day and couldn’t be hid on Teams. All the people with private offices sat in their chairs from 730-8a to now without lunch or break… that is the “future” you could aspire to here…
I’ve never understood this notion that ppl who wfh aren’t doing anything. You have a job. You either do it and get your tasks done or don’t and get fired. Because here’s the reality…
Those at home who don’t work are the same ones who don’t work when they’re in the office! You know the type…they come in around 9:25, spend all morning getting their coffee and are up out of their seats chitchatting. Then they take their 90-minute lunch. Then they may do a thing or two before packing up and calling it a day around 3:50.
@aa enjoy the soup in the unemployment line. No change Steve H will let this pass. Just forwarded him a copy of your post
@aa
Wow, you ASSume a lot. Not to mention your blatant racism and and ageism.
@aa - wait that’s possible? I was told that there was no appeals allowed and managers can do nothing.
I switched my impacted employees back to telecommuters today. I wouldn't subject anyone to RTO - don't care if they term me with cause for it. The only people who like working in the office are old white guys who don't want to go home because their spouse and kids hate them. Or deluded MAGAts who think money=intelligence and wfh=lazy libtard cucks.
@a2 - good to know. I need 2 monitors to do my job so I guess I’ll just drag them in daily.
No monitors guaranteed. Had to rebook to a station with one.
The cafeteria has been open for years now though.
