My work location was changed from Field to Remote on Tuesday, like some posters have mentioned. Everyone (try, it's not easy anymore), open a HR case asking why there location changed. Just to fook around with them.

@bq+1jm1tge8r Translates to we havent really got a clue like everything else.The same with internal systems,route to market,products,services and so on.
They really have no clue and it's been like that for a long time.
I submitted a HR ticket asking how they were making the determination of who needed to go into an office. The woman I spoke with said that HR has not been given any guidelines as to how those decisions are being made and that the Security and Facilities Teams were the ones making that designation. (With HR updating it in workday.) Not sure if she was trying to shift the blame or if that's really what's happening.
@bd+1jm1tge8r Thanks Mick.
If you are Field, then you are at a customer site 5 days per week. If you are more than an hour away and not Field, you are remote. If you are within an hour, you are on site. It's not that difficult. Why be je-ks about it?
It's also "their"
If you need to ask or make a request, most likely you already know the answer. Stay or leave.
I’m not sure HR really exists. I think they were the first replaced by AI judging by their inability to talk on the phone. Everything is email, a link, chatbot.
HR will most likely refer you back to your manger (or someone higher than him/her). Something similar happened to a bunch of us several years ago (prior to all the current RTO BS). Our manager was supposed to fill a form in confirming that we were "remote" (had been for years), the fool forgot to send the form in by the deadline and we all got set to "office based". At the time there was no directive to actually go to the office - but it affected other benefits (couldn't get broadband expensed, no support from IT for printers etc.) . This took years to get sorted out as the senior manger would have had to go to his VP and admit he made a mistake.
