Well for those fortunate enough to keep their jobs, hearing RTO 5 days a week is coming as part of the new strategy going forward. Gone are the Friday through Monday "4 day weekends" many have been enjoying. Covid is long over...time for everyone to get back in the saddle 5 days a week.

You all think some SVP is gonna jump the g-n and say yes to 5 day RTO if you asked? Don't be naive. If srini is making the decision, I would expect an email from him or D King at the appropriate time.
Dont care, thats a GenZ or Alpha issue. Most have had years of being part of a cubicle farm, only thing different is WFT the space planners did by making everything a sit/stand table without partitions so those f'n off at work with their outside voices and conference cubes make it so no one can concentrate.
@md he said no IT layoffs in January...
@bq He also said there was no massive layoffs coming to IT. Guess we will see if that was true also.
@an we have a lease for a lot of the buildings, I don’t think this would ever be possible.
@a3 heard the opposite.
@a1 totally disagree. I use it as my focus time with no in office distractions. I have way too big of a workload to do any of that.
@br Talk about someone who can't see the forest for the trees. Pick your head up before you walk off the cliff.
@a7 Dimwit, rouge is makeup. Perhaps you meant to use rogue ?
Jeff Simon (IT) just conducted an Ask Me Anything meeting. He was asked and said there is no change from current RTO rules (generally 3d/week for most people in IT).
It will be amusing if the RTO rules change in the near future.
@aj And/Or have those who do ritual washing do it somewhere other than the sit down toilet?
Rumors are will be 1 building only
@aj How about instead just lose the waste of money Frisco office. No reason to have that campus.
My group of 17 IC we have 7 Remote after they merger Markets...almost all of them Legacy sprint with salaries higher comparing legacy Tmo....of course all talented pp also....sounds like is not performance related then i hope they look on that also....Good Luck for all of us....
With everyone back at the office it's just more people pi----g and sh-----g. Frisco 1 urinals are already backed up every few weeks. How about investing some money in fixing the plumbing?
While this is not relevant for a layoff thread, I do think those who are “remote workers” that got grandfathered in temporarily will be the first on the list to go as there have been multiple attempts already to get those folks to relocate (and know some who have caved and moved to a HQ city)
hi liar:

perhaps my reading comprehension is superior to yours, but nothing here supports your unfounded blathering.
Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another.
For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer about his insecurities, the bully might be projecting his own struggle with self-esteem onto the other person.
@aa Wait, T-Mobile cares about its stock price? They want to see how low it can go right?
Imagine being such a crab in a bucket you care where other people do their job. You’ll be hoarding toilet paper during the next pandemic for sure. Imagine me spitting in your face please.
As a deeply data-informed organization, we have heard many anecdotes that companies who require employees to be in the office 5 days a week have a higher stock price.
@a7 “Hearing” just like we ‘heard’ every time this comes up. If anything, they’ll start actually monitoring the data and use the disqualifying list that everyone ignores. Are they going to do a complete about-face when morale is low and risk losing talent after their predetermined cuts? No cause even McKinsey & Co doesn’t bring up full RTO anymore.
What about the Remote Workers?
Hearing the same for the internal care sites, elimination of hybrid, all hands on deck in site or you’re gone. Rouge approach however sounds like this is in fact going to be enacted.
This is a layoff link not RTO. Who cares RTO if layoff. Stop posting these unrelated topics.
No it’s not, only corny Boomers care about this and bring it up every time around layoffs. The company uses it as a ‘benefit’ and isn’t going to scare away talent cause some people want work to be like a Dilbert comic.
Yes, I have heard it too from leadership.
@a1 people don’t work from the office either. they go on facebook or whatever. RTO is just a conspiracy among the executives to save the value of corporate real estate (and to simply crush us peons)
People don't work from home anyway. They sleep in, go to the store, play with their kids and pets.
