RTO enforcement at SD HQ?

How many days a week do you come on-site?

Is 1, 2, 3 days a week strictly enforced?

Office attendance targets are generally defined by leadership at the team level, and the degree of enforcement tends to vary depending on management. Managers have access to internal reporting that organizes employees by workplace designation (fully onsite, hybrid, shared-space, etc.) and tracks onsite presence through badge activity.

The data is presented more as trend reporting than exact attendance logs. Employees are grouped into rolling average ranges over a configurable lookback period (typically around three months by default), with attendance buckets divided into quarter-day increments across the 0–5 day spectrum.

One detail that matters is that the system only appears to care whether a badge was detected at least once within a 24-hour period — multiple entries in the same day don’t increase the count. In practice, a single onsite badge read is enough for that day to register toward the average.

Since the reporting is bucketed rather than precise, small differences often become invisible in the summary view. For example, someone averaging 1.8 days onsite per week would appear in the exact same category as someone averaging a full 2.0, because both land in the same attendance band.

That also means people don’t necessarily need to meet the nominal expectation every week to remain inside the “correct” grouping. A stated requirement of two onsite days per week is effectively about staying above the lower boundary of the corresponding range on average.

At the overview level, managers mostly see distribution counts rather than employee names. So on a five-person team expected onsite three days per week, the dashboard might show four people grouped in the 2.75–3.0 bucket and one person sitting in a noticeably lower range. The summary itself doesn’t immediately identify who that outlier is, although deeper drill-downs can still reveal it.

Wow. That's wonderful. Surely, APAC singapore site is indeed the growth site.

So we at SD and other site can just envy how well APAC is doing and continue sticking to our outdated mindset.

Blaming the higher management or C-suite for every layoff or changes. But never a reflection of ourself on our own mindset. Sicc...

1 day every week or two. It's loosely enforced, if at all.
