Heard a rumor of 3 days/week and possibly 5 days/week starting Jan 1. Haven’t seen anything from corporate. Everything has been heresy. Teams are gonna fold. WFH works. We’ve been able to release the new online banking to 11 million customers while mostly WFH and during a pandemic. Tech buildings are chaotic with numerous distractions. We’ve said it many times, open floor concept does not increase productivity. It does the opposite. PUSHBACK PUSHBACK PUSHBACK!!!
Well said, @67a+1k4tc23cn.
Interesting.
It's a soft layoff and they want employees to be upset enough that they leave on their own accord so the bank doesn't have to pay severance.
Friend of mine in the upper management had started 5 days/week. Rumors have been circulating in the senior leadership that 5 RTO roll out for the rest is coming up this January. They need to release an official memo for this! I think the remote employees may be safe for now? The internal contributors (in person) are going 5 days RTO.
Bill doesn’t care. It’s all about control.
I could spend an extra hour in the morning, an hour at lunch, and an hour after work doing chores or playing with my child that I’ll now have to spend sitting in the car or eating lunch in the office. That comes out to 32.5 DAYS per year that I won’t have the chance to see my kid. All for what???
