The rumor mill isn’t just noise this time, there’s a storm brewing. Multiple friends in high places are warning me NVWs are squarely in the target zone for Q4 layoffs. RTO FTW purges were just the appetizer. Now leadership wants the main course, headcount slashes big enough to make Wall Street smile. If you’re NVW and haven’t committed to moving to a hub, look out! You’ve been warned.

“ Anyone still NVW carries that designation because they are untouchable.”
D@mn straight. The teachers pets,, golden children + friends & family. RTO is only for us lowly underlings.
@fr whos angry? I'm very happy I'm getting a fat check to leave. Never in my my life would I transplant my entire life for a company that can't even respect its employees to respond to a survey THEY SOLICITED! If they have an ounce of respect for us they would've done what DOGE did and offer a payout, I would've taken that in a heartbeat. Instead they did an RTO song and dance like we're mo--ns. I haven't worked 5 days a week in an office since 2012, so fat chance I would start now.
Replied to these silly threads before.
2023 they said I’d be gone because I wasn’t in an ATS hub - got an extension.
2024 they said I’d be gone because I wasn’t going to move, got virtual.
2025 they’re saying because I got virtual I’ll be let go.
We will see, but I highly doubt it.
Still WFH, still making $200k+, still chilling, still pumping out more code and business value than most of my peers.
Stay mad boomer.
“ This is 100% true, EOY off payroll if no RTO FTW.“
I’ll check in with you on Jan 2. After my 3 office visits in Oct, Nov, and Dec (maybe a little office Holiday party??).
Stay angry my friend.
NVW = No Valuable Work
If you are trundling into the office like an obedient meek little drone, YOU are an incredibly weak person and I'm certain that your 'work' reflects that. Those that cling hard to RTO have nothing else to offer.
This is 100% true, EOY off payroll if no RTO FTW.
What is an NVW?
Same angry person, all consumed with NVWs, posting the same stuff all the time.
In the event it was true, which it isn’t, I will be good. Lay me off.
I’ll keep coming in once a month until then.
I know an NVW and he is definitely not untouchable. More like unneeded. This ain’t personal just an honest assessment of an incredibly weak employee.
NVWs are the culture of the company. Mind your own business.
Someone hasn't heard the story about the boy who cried "wolf". There has been too much crying of wolf on this site to consider the post credible.
I’m not an NVW, so I’m not scared of some purge
Anyone still NVW carries that designation because they are untouchable. This is just more sour grapes fake news. It is far more likely that 5 day RTO people get hit, as they are the ones targeted for attrition.
We are quickly approaching the 3-year mark after the RTO initiative was announced. The purge should have happened over a year ago.
Are you suggesting all NVW's
