IN OFFICE HOURS REQUIREMENT - CIC
Ok, what is the deal with the in office hours tracking? I’m hearing it’s based on badge swipes, connecting to the network. Can anyone in management enlighten me what they’re looking at? Is it 4 hours, 5 hours? Apparently there is some reporting... — read more
Measure what matters
So leadership has told us their most important metrics are days in the office, hours in the office and number of keystrokes. So be sure to work to those. Anyone want to help me develop a random keystroke tool?
No open cubes today. Lol
a few people have shown up today and there are no open cubes. Wtf they expect you to do if there are no open cubes to work in. Oh and fyi it looks like cubes might be going away in some places. Just workstations crammed up against each other. ... — read more
Layoffs
When will the remote employees be severanced?
I used to take lots of early morning meetings at home with Indian teams and evening meetings with west coast
Considering cancel this meetings for my office day. It’s hard to be in office by 7am and stay until 8pm to take those calls.
Leaving for lunch
Does this count against 8 hours? Feel like a child having to even ask this question.
I can only stay in office for 7 hours due to my kids’ school schedule
Work at night is very common for our team. Will I get a PIP? Or let go? My family needs the paycheck.
They want to pit us against each other
And they’re doing this by allowing manager discretion with missed hours. Several folks on my team were pulled into a special session to reiterate the new rules last week. As we scanned the room, we quickly realized a common theme: we all have... — read more
Deadwood Lead tech BSA looking for thoughts.
Former tech project manager here. Now part of the deadwood population here that is too young to retire but ready to GTFO. Where does a guy like me go? I’m tired of being railed into the ground.
Pull the camera footage!
Apologies if this is another sad post, but can someone clarify how in-office attendance is actually tracked? Are we talking badge swipes, IP addresses, or just whatever the reporting AI spits out each week? I keep landing on these “magical” lists... — read more

Barnhart Update
Seems Senior Management is in office this week. Have any departments been advised of their last day yet?
Why PIP people?
#1 - No severance if you’re fired for cause # 2 - save money on payroll # 3 - give them COBRA, but they will pay unsubsidized premiums for health insurance
What is the 8 hour rule / office equipment
Manager here who hasn't heard of this 8 hour in office rule. I've seen a lot of post about this so I know it's a thing. Was there an email sent out or were you guys just notified by leadership? Also, is anybody else's a lot of business not providing... — read more
Major Double XL Layoffs by end of 2025
good luck folks!
Fun with Math
The below is said in jest, and is probably not something anyone should or would actually do. Also, it would only truly work if someone lived VERY close to the office. Go to office @ 7:00 am. Leave office at 7:05….. Go home. Come back at 2:55... — read more
Is Coffee Badging Over
For the coffee badgers since RTO, seems we have been busted big time. Anyone has any idea how to game the system with this 8 hour rule. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Are hours in office a 4 week rolling average? Thank you.
May have been asked before. Sorry if that is the case.
Benefits usage, and Rule of 55
If you are displaced, don't forget to take advantage of things like vision insurance, dental insurance, etc. Also, if over 55, look into 'Rule of 55'. 'Separation from Service' in IRS speak. It allows anyone 55 or older to withdraw funds from... — read more
Co-Location update anyone
Does anyone have the details of when the next round of the co-location strategy layoffs or relocation offers will occur? Particularly if you are the only one on your team at a site but it is a hub. Thanks
Tip: Do not logoff. Simply disconnect network and walk away
No logoff entry defaults to 8 hour network login
WF laptops
My laptop is so slow ALL THE TIME and WF makes it so difficult to get a new or better one. What laptop model do you have and does it work? Any tips?
Amazon Cloud Hit
Was the WF rush to the cloud Risky? This risk averse employee thinks all of our data is at risk everyday it is on a cloud. Stupid is as stupid does.
Grass could be Greener

Changing to Retired during Severance Period
This may have been asked in previous posts but if so I missed it. Anyone know what the benefit is to change to Retired from Displaced? Doubt there is much just curious if anyone has done that recently. Thanks.
HR is closing out all RTO cases with no response or a canned response

Is there a PIP season at Wells Fargo?
Or is that something that can be handed out throughout the entire year?
If you start feeling sick, you can't leave until 8 hours
My manager informed us that you will be penalized for taking PTO halfway through the day and leaving early since it will count as a day in office where you spent less than 8 hours. This company really needs to get its act together and send out... — read more
