Looks many still stay at home, not many in office yet

What will Hock do? WFH policy again?

How can you be badged in AND coming into the network thorugh a VPN?
They're already willing to violate corporate policy. Punching an ssh tunnel through
to some workstation or lab box to create network activity is childsplay.

Go for it! Post here what happens.

I plan on buddying up. I go to office one week and take co-worker badge with
me. I badge in both of us. Next week, I WFH and buddy take my badge and do
the same. Genius!

Brilliant, speed run disciplinary action!

We are not dealing with incompeteent legacy vmware management.

BC takes attendance through badging, AND network utilization.

My mom said she'll switch back to Wine to run her Windows apps from Ubuntu. Free and more reliable.

I heard managers get in trouble if attendance is not what it should be.

At the moment time is needed to settle the transition and then the GM will be pushed to promote in office return. GM will be given time to do so. GM can make exceptions up to 25% of headcount in the GM business unit. But eventually GM will be on the hook to show better in office attendance.

Are we thinking transition will still be remote if they were originally remote employees?

Too early. Wait until everything settles.
