so that I only work for 8 hours, unlike now that I work for almost 10-11 hours.
I think Citi will regret returning employees to the office after seeing how much productivity will fall.

They don't care, and productivity will not decrease. 🙄
Take that hour lunch and two 15 minute breaks. Jane doesn't care about you or the time away from your family, so make yourself the priority always!
@izh I definitely advocate for separating "work time" and "home time" in a 100% black and white way if they insist on driving in to the office, don't get me wrong.
I only mean that in most teams, there are the people who DO the things... and then there are the people relentlessly asking those people how to do the things, so they can pretend they know how to do them as well. The people who actually do the things... they'll do enough things to keep everything rolling as normal, regardless of the efforts of those other types. That's all.
All the reason I’m interviewing now for other jobs with 100% remote not in the banking sector. I’ve got some great vibes from the interview so far. When asked what I wanted for pay I gave them a salary that was 20% more than what I’m making now and they had no issue with it at all and even up it by another 10%. I’m so stoked I can’t sleep. They are sending the offer letter in the mail I to be received by Friday. I have another interview in the works in case that one I want falls through. It’s so awesome to have options.
If you can’t provide the pay, you have more perks.
If you can’t provide the perks, you offset it with more pay.
Citi doesn’t do either. The only perk that I can see is the work from home and now that’s being scaled back. Those that “get the job done regardless blah…blah..blah”, there’s a derelict correlation between my effort vs. my pay. Especially since the perk of working from home is now being affected. There’s no way that I’m logging in from home once I get in from the office. Citi does not pay me anywhere near enough to work for more than 8 hours per day. Occasionally during crunch time, sure but as a norm, no.
The few people in each group who get things done will continue to get them done. Home, office, 8hrs, 12hrs, doesn't matter. The people actually doing the work will do what they always do. Productivity won't suffer even a little bit.
