What does it show? Does it breakdown hours by day? Or does just show average or a bucket you fall in(7+ hours)

What happens if you cut it a few minutes short of 8 hrs? Will you be bucketed lower?
@y4. Are you slow? Obviously means someone was told to rto and person continued to work remotely.
@vv over 2 years with zero office presence AND no remote access?? that is insane. getting paid for 2 years without even pretending to do any work at all...seems like both they and their slacker manager should be fired immediately. gotta wonder how has this hasn't been reported to HR or senior leadership.
I know someone who's remote access was revoked (like many of us) and told to RTO. This person told them flat out "no," 'fire me and I'll sue you." Over two years have passed, this person has not once reported to an office and is still employed. It all depends on who your manager is.
there are two different reports
one is attendance. how many days in office, travel, pto, locations of in-office days. This has been around for a long time now and anyone who manages a group has access to it. you can see day by day where someone has been. You can see averages over 4 weeks or 13 weeks.
They recently added to this report an "average hours in office". but it only shows average over the 4 or 13 week period, not day by day.
There is a second report on hours in office. this is the one that caused the initial stir a couple of months back. it shows average hours in prior 4 weeks. no click down to individual days. This report was/is only available to OC+1, HR and their delegates. I think the intention is to keep adding to the attendance report that all managers have access to and phase this one out... but who knows.
Someone on my team was scolded because she was at 7 hours and 20 minutes per day I believe. I would stay the 8 hrs just to be off the grid. I’ve been increasing my Metamucil intake hoping it would result in 2, maybe 3, dumps per day when I’m in the office. I like to stay in the toilet for 15-20 minutes per session. I’ll utilize that team to check emails, send resumes out via LinkedIn, browse Amazon, etc. I also like taking a couple of long walks around the office, usually holding a blank piece of paper in my bad or legal pad which has absolutely nothing on it. This place su-ked the life out of me.
I have been averaging just a minute or two over 7. No one has said anything to me. There’s also someone I know that’s still been coffee badging for over two years now and to this date no one has said a damn thing. I work uptown Charlotte and yet there’s someone I know in CIC Charlotte that got flagged for under 5 hours earlier this year. So who the F knows what they’re looking at.
I keep it at just over 7 to be on the safe side either way. But I must say it’s crazy that people are still getting away with coffee badging but perhaps it just shows that the incompetence of this company is still going strong.
We all need 8 hrs of sleep. Go in late, get your rest, come home and do your actual work at home during the day.
I once had probably the greatest manager ever and he said, why do you need to see the report if you're doing what you've been asked to do? He was half joking, but it's valid.
On the surface, it seems the only reason to want to see that stuff is because you're trying to game the system or trying to push up as close as you can to the line.
Agree with everyone for 3+ days for 7+ to be more or less safe for now. I would hit 8 hours. If you stay 7 just wait another hour. Stretch walk around whatever. Even if you plan to restart work when you get home still stay the 8 hours.
Whatever HR decides to do they can look back. Your manager may say no i don’t see that then next week they do. Do yourself a favor right now and do more not less.
There are always people that get away with things but unless you are one of them just do the right thing.
It shows number of hours badged into an office. I can’t recall exactly, but it’s like 0-2, 2-6, 7+. It’s based on badging and time on the network. It will also flag if you are going to an office you are not assigned to.
Hit start on a stopwatch once your pc is connected to the network& be done 7hrs, 59m later. I no longer log on after work/weekends.
@ab I absolutely enjoy that I get to work from home 2 days a week. Much better than 5.
It shows that WF is a company that doesn't care about your well-being one bit. The "Well Life" is nothing but gaslighting to brainwash the weak minded sheep.
Shows days per week you go in.
On hours in office, I've only seen a single average number of hours in office. But I also was told on the last one I saw that reporting had issues.
Just go in 3 days a week for 8 hours a day. Everything else is just noise
