Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

"How is working from an office that bad?"

There are many downsides to RTO mandates. But the clear frontrunner is being forced to be around bootlickers like you, that cling desperately to "how we did it in the past". What a loser mentality. Wake up.

@19z Both terms (written agreement, and written offer letter) were used in various posts in this thread. I agree with your point. Nobody was referring to an employment contract where the employer is contractually obligated to employment of a certain length of time and a certain compensation level. The offer letters that state that the person is being hired for a remote position should be honored by the Bank. Otherwise, they have destroyed their own credibility, which was already on shaky grounds for various reasons. So much foolishness is going on.

@19p yep. I was hired into a remote position and my prior position was moved to permanently remote because that's what we asked for. But they just went "ya we don't care" and went back on their end of the hiring agreement. It's fu---d up and now they have no good faith left.

@19z Oops, I meant "written offer letter", NOT "written agreement". This was an unfortunate type during my haste to post. Please excuse this egregious error.

@19t Nobody said "contract". The term "written agreement" as used. Please ensure understanding of words before criticizing or making disparaging comments about other employee's situations.

@19t We are all aware of that. Don't be a dolt. The offer letter clearly demonstrated intent, that the bank would permanently allow the position to be remote-based. Then they flipped the script. This is not ok.

@19p

An offer letter is not a contract, and I think many of them even mention the concept of “at will.”

@16m And yet some of us have written offer letters stating that we were hired for remote positions. Then suddenly, "oops, sorry, never mind - you're not remote anymore". That is f-d up.

@153 You're a clueless id--t. You actually think the concept of remote or hybrid work arrangements did not exist before Covid? Are you really that stupid? Many of us were hired as remote or hybrid years before the pandemic and have it in writing. But the bank decided to arbitrarily change that despite a written agreement. So go back to toiling away in your little cubicle that you seem to think is the ideal work environment, you ridiculous little troll.

@153 hey ya dinosaur, some of us had hybrid positions before COVID that had better flexibility than what we have now and we want that back. Just because it 'was that way before' doesn't mean it needs to be that way now.

There’s no contract. This is at-will employment.

@153 By that logic we should all be riding horses because that is what we did before automobiles were invented. Imagine that fun commute! ;-) Lot more analogies like it but you get the point.

What about those who were hired as remote? Worse yet what if there is no USB work office in their state? It IS a breach of contract but the bank/HR does not want you to think so.

How is working from an office that bad? You know before Covid there was no other option right? It’s crazy how many people would quit or be fired before returning to office.

Let's not give him any ideas and then we post out in plain sight for them to see what you all are doing. Come on people let's think through whether something really should be on the Internet or not for anyone in HR to see.

Sc--w that, I am in 11 days, no more than that

11 days. Don't give them ideas ...

I’m only going in 11 days

The current dashboard reporting I've seen from Workday assumes a target of 11 days in office per calendar month. It just shows % compliance against that target. If you're in 11 or more days, your score is 100%. If you're in 10 days, your score is 90.9%, etc. The report shows this score by month and a year to date average.

Is there other reporting that exists? Maybe. But this is all I've seen and is what the group I'm in is held accountable to at the moment.
