Apparently all managers got an email this morning with a Workday link to track their employees’ adherence to working in office. Apparently managers can see hours in office as well. Does anybody know if this adherence is measured by day or by hours?

It's like any write up system. A write up is designed to track action. The action of requesting you comply and the action of you either complying or continuing the action of non-compliance. I have no idea how many times you will be written up but once HR gets involved you can be fired without severance pay. It's in the documentation about in office attendance.
Make no mistake the company does not care about you as an individual. If people are constantly trying to beat the system they will just replace you with HIH employees or contractors.
What happens after you get written up for not being in the office? Do they fire you? What do you mean by team lead? Are you referring to developers
Manager here. It only shows days in which you badged in, PTO days if 4 hours of more (counts as in office), holidays, and not in office days. It gives a % breakdown of how much you are in office for the amount of work days in the month.
Now that we have this tool, my director has all leads on her team writing up everyone below 50% and giving a warning to anyone between 50-60%. One lead in our team got yelled at in staff meeting cause she was in office less than 10%. More than half my team is getting written up. When I told my director we’d lose half the team, she said that is fine because we will replace with HIH hires (which will destroy team productivity) and said we should be glad we don’t work at Amazon. This place has become such garbage.
Sounds like some people are talking about Verint which tracks production, idle time, etc. That’s different than badge swipes but could be used together if they’re trying to find a reason to fire you. This new manager dashboard sounds like it’s only associated with badge swipes as everyone required in office aren’t being tracked via Verint.
Badge swipes as you enter the building have been tracked for over a year. They just finalized the reporting capabilities. As for tracking location of where you are logging in, that too has been around for years. It can determine if at office or external network. They do not have capability to link the two (badge swipe and login records). Managers have been asked to only address folks who are WAY out of compliance for at least two months. The reporting does account for PTO.
And our dept is all w@h. This is used in many other companies. This is how they let you go instead of paying for layoffs or early retirement.
It is considered stealing company time.
We got it a few weeks ago. It tracks all your time. If you computer is idle you will have to explain it. They were tracking us before they told us. Our supervisor was able to show instances in our team meeting. If you are on production and your computer goes idle, they have the report the next day. Be careful.
It only shows days... For now 🙄
