One month in, I’m curious if any management levels have heard what the early results of the work one policy have been? Have people been complying so far? And how does that compliance rate compare to what they expected to see…
The more interesting part to me is all of these rumors of layoffs happening next week; you’d think they’d like to leverage any non-compliance to the work one policy to (1) Cause employees to leave voluntarily and (2) reduce severance pay for those they can terminate. But the policy notes that compliance is viewed on a 90-day basis which wouldn’t start until October. Thoughts?

90 days for this new effort started July 1st, there shouldn’t be anyone negatively impacted for non compliance until after 90 days after that date.
I find this thread amusing. As someone that was laid off last summer, had I been given the option to go to the office and keep my job, I would have. Yes, I was hired WFH, but things change, don’t like it leave. At least it’s on your terms. It took me months to land another position that was the equivalent of the work I did at Aetna. And the market is brutal right now.
Grow up folks! Put your big boy/girl pants on and go to the office or find something else. This trying to game the system will get you no where and there hundreds that would gladly replace you. Ge-z
If you like the office go but why force others many driving over an hr to get there.
I have heard others say come to the office it’s nice here, when asked how long their commute was I t he answer, I can see my house looking out the window.
Something I find confusing about this is that the RTO from last year was supposed to be serious but there was no comment when the office started to become empty. Back then it was even okay to flex your work days but since many decided to not come in it and thought they were above it, it got worse for everybody and now you have to be in tues, wed, thurs.
The attendance is way up compared to pre-July for sure but it has also slowly mitigated. Still it's certainly a larger amount of people than the RTO effort from last year. I don't care either way, I like the office but in a way it is maddening that I lost my flexible days to this second RTO push because people wouldn't show up at all and right after a mass layoff. It's CVS' fault for not managing it or actually checking in and encouraging RTO.
I have a different perspective on 1 CVS attendance. Is it close to pre-pandemic, No, nowhere close. Is it much better than the announcement in June for more stringent RTO, it definitely is. I’d say attendance now at 1 CVS is probably 2x of what it was in early June.
1CVS hasn’t seen an uptick in attendance. The same cubes around me that have been vacant since pre-COVID still are. The cafeteria is still pretty empty most days. I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday and didn’t get to the office until after 10. I was easily able to park close to the front entrance whereas before COVID I’d have to find parking at another building and walk if I showed up that late.
The policy is fuzzy I hear different interpretations from everyone I ask. The posters below interpret differently.
There were no HR meetings and mostly no team meetings. It’s as if they want people to be non compliant
There are also rumors of some directors telling their people to inflorescence the policy.
Laurie Havanec and Karen Ly--h can both tongue my an-s.
it's a 90 day rolling period. Not every 90 days. 60% compliant is 2 days a week, 22 days in 90 days.
The 90 day period is ongoing.
Reporting is currently done by week.
Come next Monday that week starts and the week 14 weeks ago falls off the reporting…
It’s not taken every 90 days… it looks at your compliance over the past 90 day period… 90 days from July 1st is Sept 29th. On Sept 29th the 90 day period is July 1st to Sept 29th…. On Sept 30th the 90 day period is July 2nd to Sept 30th…
The “next” 90 day period is literally a new set of days every day.
So to answer your question… it depends on when those days were and when you plan to go back into the office.
Honest question here. If you hit the 24 days in the 90 day period could you WFH until the start of the next 90 day period?
It does add to your total.. a rolling 90 days requires 24 days with swipes…
There’s people coded hybrid with still 0 total.
We are 33 days in or 5 work weeks.
7 more work weeks remain… or 35 business days (and I’m not excluding Labor Day).
If you went from 0 to 4 days a week yes you could hit 28 which is over the 24… but if you are at 0 now and just do the 3 days a week … every Tues, weds, thurs… that would give you 21 days with swipes which is < the 24 needed come the first “official” 90 day period…
So as I said… they kind of already know or have a very high likelihood of who will be short.
Of course they know and take into account LoAs and stuff but there are people that have literally no documented “acceptable” reason of why that will be short.
I wonder if you came in 4 days a week on a few specific weeks, if that would add to your total.
Because I am a single parent, Some of the weeks, I haven't been able to meet the 3 day rule.
Reporting has been being shared to some via their VP… next week I think reporting will be accessible by all people leaders.
You don’t have to wait until 90 days to see if someone will be compliant 90 days after 7/1… there comes a point where before 7/1 + 90 days it will be impossible for someone to come in enough to get to compliance
