I’m curious how many people are going to adhere to 4 days come October…. What are they really going to do if people don’t? Fire everyone???
We’re at 3 days now and there’s a LOT of people that are not in the office 3 days consistently (myself included).
One of the worst places to work in my banking mortgage experience! I have never seen such poor management. Truist is the worse. They should change their name to I don’t have a clue bank!
Not coming in. I'll be working from home.
Starting in October HR will be monitoring adherence to the 4 day a week policy. Badge swipes and network location log in..VPN Vs on site etc. It will no longer bee up to managers to oversee...so take that for what its worth.
"I want to take my early calls in my PJs. Po-p alone in my own private bathroom. Have all encompassing authority over the thermostat. And not nearly get ki-led 5x on the way to work because people are horrible drivers."
Ladies and gentlemen, meet our newest AVP!!!
I can’t help but feel the “better together” narrative is disingenuous. Anybody that’s been in the corporate world especially for decades knows, most of the time, nothing special happens in the office. It’s usually like that movie office space where people are incredibly annoyed and dread it.
There’s small talk, sometimes it’s easier to get an answer because you can bombard someone in person without warning. But generally everybody is at the desk not talking to anyone and/or they’re on the phone all day.
Any grand visions of high fives, whiteboarding, and conference rooms full of enthusiastic problem solving do happen but are rare. I’ve been in corporate a long time at multiple banks. There’s no magic in the office and nothing significant that can only be done in person.
The exception, and it’s extremely rare, is this: you get lucky and really enjoy hanging out with your coworkers because they’ve become friends. I’ve been lucky enough to have that on several occasions. Is that reason enough to spend millions on office real estate and force everyone in? He-l no.

Future generations will laugh at us. Wait so you guys all met at a building every day? Why? That’s just how businesses ran. You guys had internet and laptops? Yeah. But still met up? Yeah. Wasn’t that expensive for companies? Yeah. Help me understand. I can’t. We didn’t understand it either.
There are reasons they picked October… no one hires in Q4.
Imagine being so indoctrinated you believe in the company that shoved vaccines and DEI down your throat. More gaslighting is required for the sheep!!
Hope your day gets better as you appear to be living in misery. (it won’t get better)
Imagine being so d-mb where bi--hing about going into the office one additional day makes sense.
Go find another job d-mbo.
"I will not. My staff will not."
You will do as you are told, slave!
I will not. My staff will not.
I will, because I am on this Earth to serve my corporate masters!
And, it's the only way to become AVP!
