Word on the street is WFH ends early November.

Um, the reason LOCs are all WFH is because all the LOCs are CLOSED. I'm hedging my bets on MT eventually dissolving WFH. Sure, it may not happen today, next week or next year but trust me, the only employees left with jobs will all be in the Hubs.
I'm guessing that the brain trust has done some analyzing and determined how many of us will contract covid or take it home to our loved ones as a result of being forced to congregate in the office. So how many covid cases is acceptable, especially when the benefits of being in-office are nebulous at best. This is another example of SF doing what is best for SF, at our expense. I know this is nothing new, but this time the price could literally be our life or the life of someone we love. For what?
Just think 3-4 years ago they let thousands of people walk from the LOCs that were awesome employees! Off loaded the salaries and benefits as we all know. Fast forward to today and the LOCs employees are getting to work from home and the hub employees are going to have to go back into the office. These fu-cking mo--ns are ridiculous, place is an absolute joke! What the heck is 5 days every 4 weeks going to do. That huddle or 1x1 is a game changer!!! LOL...can't make this sh-t up!
In another thread, someone mentioned the "place everyone wants to be is in the hubs". Well working 5 days a month in office must be what all those people who work where "everyone wants to be" asked for. Make your choice, work your 5 days in office or get your resume ready and move on. You have had over a years notice this was going to happen.
Work from home is not ending. Hybrid is the new direction until next year.
Enjoy this job market and company growth while it lasts. When the tides turn, being asked to work a few days a month in office will be the least of our worries.
What LOC employees have a physical office to go back to?
I hate to burst anyone’s bubble but go back to when wfh was communicated. Was it announced as a great new benefit for the workforce? If not plan on going back to office. If it really was a benefit there would have been a dozen executives falling all over themselves to take credit. Hybrid was/is the bridge to100% back.
Great news for those planning on staying out and not going back-Walmart and Amazon are both hiring over a 100,000 employees. You will have to be vaccinated though.
It’s true…hub employees back to the office 1 week a month starting in November.
thx…. lookin now
I will also be out.
In unrelated news, PwC has 40,000 employees and now is letting any of their US workers telecommute 100%.
so those "fortunate" enough to be in a hub have the "benefit" of having to go to the office while everyone else in locs continues to wfh......that just won't work. IF this is implemented be prepared for those very negative surveys.
Not going back
There will be an all associates email informing update in the next couple of weeks. Communications is updating Q&A in addition to providing input/assistance to executive on primary message. It may come from MS or PS, yet to be determined. Sticking point is vaccinated vs unvaccinated debate…..
@BFI if I could like your comment more than once I would. How is any of this a surprise to anyone….
As if hybrid isn't just WFH with a weekly field trip.
Let's just make some more sh-t up. The hybrid plan link Ways of Working is out there on the home page. 5 days a month in office 15 days WFH. No change since the last 10 times this has come up
Haven’t heard anything close to this in my little neck of the woods. Are you suggesting this is company wide, or specific to certain areas?
Here come the wave of retirements
Correct. LOC employees will continue with wfh-everyone else back to their assigned office.
I don't believe this is the case for loc employees.
No one seriously thought wfh was permanent right? It was a reaction to the pandemic not a new benefit.
would be a huge mistake if sf did....
