Anyone has news if HR is running report to check if employee is working in the office? Or it's off the radar?

At least in Clearwater there will be mandatory onsite meetings by product teams Tuesday through Thursday going forward.
I connect via vpn even when onsite. This includes purposely using hot spots sitting on lunch patio benches. I also keep meticulous logs with an app I wrote for ios. If challenged it will be easy to show that the IT system is both unreliable and the standard not systemically applied.( aka targeted enforcement). Good luck HR, 30% goes to my council whose advice I sought when layoffs became inevitable. We are thinking 1 year salary.
Scared tactics probably. I stopped going to the office regularly and HR and my manager stopped asking. So best of luck if you have the ba--s to stand up to HR.
The company records people connecting to the network via VPN to determine if they’re working from home.
The badge has RFID, so you are tracked everywhere and know how many times you go to the can, try wearing a diaper to not end up on the sheet list !

Yes, they are logging your computer and if it connects to the office network. If it is not on the office network 'enough' workdays, the manager gets an email asking for an explanation. If the explanation isn't good enough the employee gets a pretty nasty letter threatening their job. I'm not sure what the 'enough' metric is, but the reporting/auditing window is roughly 3-week blocks.
Fair warning, I've seen several cases where the logging system has just fouled up. One example showed a co-worker as logging their computer in another country when there were witnesses, video footage, and badge reader logs of this person and their computer being in the office.
