The recent mandated RTO has not been enforced for all depts. Just ask anyone who works in the CFO office. Hybrid employees are being asked to be in office 3 days, but permanent work from home employees have been advised to continue working remotely. On top of that how is USAA going to enforce RTO into yearly evaluations/possible layoffs when folks come into the office for 2 - 3 hrs then leave to work the rest of their shift remotely? This is happening in multiple LOBs. Leadership needs to lead and ensure if we are all going to dance then we dance to the same tune.

One of the people I know who still works there said permanently remote workers will find it hard to earn promotions and raises. There's a possible effort to force turnover in the permanently remote workforce to reduce cost of severance

Dashboard is for Executive Directors and Above. They routinely share with their Directors on a weekly basis as they are being held accountable to drive the 3 day a week minimum job requirement and manage performance for non-adherence. Read some of the key terminology “performance” , “job requirements”
I was told that there is a ‘dashboard’ but what actual metrics it has, remains to be seen…
I quit about 2 years ago. Sorry to see the strife.
Unpopular opinion?: I miss going into the office because I miss sodexo.
For my 3 days, I work at my desk 4-5 hours, use my lunch to go home and finish the rest of my shift.
They are checking turnstile reports in my area
Forced part-time RTO while telling which days to come in is not "hybrid". That's called micromanagement. Execs will be ordering seat temperature monitoring soon.
permanent work from home employees have been advised to continue working remotely
That's because they're... permanent remote? What would you expect? There hasn't been a blanket statement saying "anyone who is permanent remote must come in," so why would they be expected to come in?
There's been a work type exception request process for literally years at this point. When the "where we work" thing started, they introduced default work types (on-site, remote, hybrid) and a process to request a change. In many areas (if not most) it was manager discretion and didn't even have to go to an EMG. Now it requires EMG approval.
I'm curious what the future holds for this. There are so many ways to "maliciously comply" like coming in for a couple hours then leaving that EMG will either have to abandon this RTO thing or implement dystopian micro-management tracking of badge reads.
As if MSRs weren't nagged enough by their managers for not being auto-in, now they'll be nagged for only being in the office for 7 hours 45 minutes.
Not all hybrid are in office 3 days either. My department is technically hybrid but we only have to go in the office based on our project/assignment.
Great point made. I noticed it when someone came into the office before 7:00 and left by 10:30am. I don't think RTO for 3 days a week and work IN an office for 8 hours is that bad. Before you know it they will make RTO 5 days a week because people can't even come in 3 days and work a full day IN office.
