Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

RTO inaccuracy and unclear metrics

Looking through posts on here and by mine and my coworkers’ numbers, it seems the new dashboards are wildly inaccurate. I’ve seen my days count where I’ve had multiple half days in office due to appointments, my coworker who works in office 4x a week well beyond 6 hours everyday and they’re below 60% compliance, coworkers saying the dashboard has said they used PTO/ sick days when they hadn’t. The data is obviously not accurate across all employees for many reasons.

“Over 60% of time in office” is not clear and can be interpreted multiple ways. Is it 24 out of 40 hours? In that case then could you just choose to go in everyday for an avg of 4.8 hours to get the 24 or does it have to be 3 days for 8 hours? Like others mentioned too, what about if someone is working more than 40 hours. How would that factor into the final calc? Right now they claim they’re not using time to track in the FAQ but I bet they’re gonna pull some bs I’m a few months saying “in office days only count if you spent X amount of continuous hours connected to company IP”.

Is it the amount of days that gets over 60%, so for April there are 22 working days if no PTO/ sick then 22 x .6 is 13.2 so you need to come in 14 days to meet “over 60”? It also mentions “rolling average of three months” so if there are, hypothetically, 60 working days through April - June then you have to go 36 days in that window but then can you front load and just go 36 days in a row and then WFH the rest 24 days?

This is ridiculous for employees to have to meet a moving target that the company clearly can and will just change at any moment. The backtracking claiming “it was well known that it’s 3+ days a week” is d-mb. Everybody knew 11 days got you your 100% and the old dashboard reflected that. Most people are going to go the 11 and not a day more. Even for my coworker who goes 4 days a week is showing as non compliant when their metrics should be above 60% for every month.

@b6 that's actually illegal, very. The company MUST not negatively sanction your mil duty.

@b6 the media would have a fu--ing field day with this if you get fired for it.

I've had multiple military leave days that aren't counted as non working days, so my #'s are not being calculated accurately. From what I can tell, it only takes into account sick days, vacation days, or other things you need to actually submit on your calendar.

My military leave days are imported into my absence calendar, but they do not reduce the total # of working days. So I'm getting kinda sc--wed.

@ad same thought here!!! 2 hour dr appt, not anymore! That’s a 4 hour sick day.

@ab it is definitely intriguing to me that this rolled out amid TTUS being open and 2 weeks shy of the next Townhall. I’m really interested in the motive and strategy here.

They do this as TTUS surveys are being filled out (deadline is this Friday)
They do it as people were beginning to adapt to the 11 day rule.
They do this to encourage more people to quit.
They do this right after they announce the wonderful sponsorship of the NFL.
They do this because they think (or know) that we will just roll over and take it because we have no options.

File ethical concerns with the internal system.
Complaint and document your concerns with your manager.
Flood the Q&A in the upcoming townhalls. Both GK’s and your BL’s
Revisit sites like Glassdoor and others and speak your mind.
Disengage and don’t attend employee events.
Look into forming a union- for real this time.
Keep track of your own time-include business travel, conferences, off site meetings, etc.
Consult with an attorney

@a4 Bingo, something told me to compile all of my accomplishments and kudos in screenshots on my phone when I got here, as well as track my own office days and hours. Revising the metrics retroactively seems messy and open to litigation. I was 100% compliant since we started this whole micromanagement bonanza, but now they're saying weeell nevermind we changed our mind. Very sloppy

I was looking for my March numbers & knew I was compliant all year, I track my own days & always get my 11. Well, yesterday it showed me as 10 for January & February suddenly & under the 60% which is the new thing. So now despite all my good faith efforts to track to that 11 & make absolutely sure I hit the mark, they are saying I am not & want to punish me. This id--t head of HR has now lost my loyalty to this company. Frak them all. What a bunch of liars & pricks. I tried my best as a normal person & always do, but this is ridiculous. So go ahead & punish those of us who tried really hard to comply. I'm going to comply all the way to a new company, don't even get me started on this requirement of 2 BL centric features per month which is impossible because we have so few people & so many changes we can't control we can barely keep the lights on. They made that goal so they can arbitrarily say later we didn't do it & then randomly pick enough 'needs improvement' this year. These people who run this company are diabolical.

Keep the email. It clearly says they realize there may be inaccuracies and in the same email it says it should only be used as a coaching tool and as part of this whole process they said they are counting Q1. We know it may have inaccuracies in the same breath as we are retroactively counting it. That’s music to a lawyers ears.

Lets be honest, the bank does not trust us to work from home and actually get our jobs done. Mulling through this last night and this morning, I think this new tracking is actually "good". Now that the bank has defined what a work day is, (60%) of a month works out to 8 hours a day for 3 days a week (24 hours a week), or some mix of this. I'm one that tends to give this company 10-11 hours a day, but now that they have clearly defined what a "day" constitutes, that's all they'll be getting. There will no longer be logging in at home after working in the office. That ship has sailed. I also plan to be sick for all 80 hours this year too, even if I take it 1-2 hours at a time.

@OP it’s absolutely ridiculous. I hit 11 x’s/m regularly but would often n switch to home 4-6 hours into my day. Point being I hit the 11 days/m metric. Then they moved the goal posts - in arrears and I’m non compliant? Wtf?!
