Do our WFIP staff have to be in the office 3-4 days per week for 8 hours a day too? I realized I haven't heard a word about it from anyone, ever, so am curious how evenly the rules are being applied. Probably another best kept secret to alienate the US employees hat Charlie hates so much

Some overseas workers have been laid off too, most likely because AI can now do those jobs. It doesn't matter if your overseas making $2.00 an hour or in the U.S making $25.00 an hour, money is money and every nickle they can save is worth letting people go. Personally I think even their days are numbered. Whether it's AI or the bank is forced to bring back the work due to some political change. They're happily counting their dollars now, but eventually the empire will collapse.
Get rid of Indians, they've infested American companies starting in 2010.
American culture is whatever it takes to do the job right. For global LOBs, that means 12-14 hour days.
No.
Just like they don't have BYOD for phone, WF pays for a corporate phone for them.
Why do you care if things are even across the board between the U.S and overseas? The company sold out their employees in exchange for cheaper labor, and all you care about is a level playing field because you rather WFH? Even if it wasn't, nothing is going to be done. You're just another employee costing the company money. Their ultimate goal is to either send your job overseas or to have it done by AI. That is your future.
They’re happy to work in office because of the indoor plumbing
they are and dont complain or trash the company. imagine that.
Judging by their quantity and SLA metrics - I’d say so. Quality metrics….. call me back later.
If you want to work for $1 a day perhaps a WFH arrangement can be made.
Indian culture is 9 hours minimum per day. & yes they have the 3 day a week in office requirements.
The India teams are usually away at dinner when I log in in the mornings so I guess they take two 1 hour breaks
9 hours daily mandatory in India since folks like taking 1 hour lunches.
3 days per week
