This new 8-hour presence requirement is wrecking morale on my team. This is worse than what we had 20 years ago. Need to pick your kids up from school? Forbidden unless you badged in at 6:30 AM. Need to go to a doctor's appointment? Better not come... — read more
Cancel any calls before 9am
After they started making threat, i cleared all my calls pre 9am calls so i could BE in the office 8 hours min. They want 9 to 5 in the office, that's what they get. I suggest all do the same.
I predict terminate for cause increasing.
I predict that I’ll be terminated for cause. With decades of service, numerous awards and accolades, the company will use that to not pay my severance of six figures. All because I didn’t spend eight hours a day three days a week being a desk jockey... — read more
Performance Reviews
Isn’t it or shouldn’t it be illegal to force managers to rank employees and making sure at least one or more are below a meets? Between layoffs and firings departments got rid of low performers now only to leave the existing employees to pick up the... — read more
Attestations galore

MOST SCARY 8 HOUR WARNING
Corporate risk here. Got email from mangers , saying DF has directed managers must document their directs not meeting 8 hour requirement or 3 days (soon to be 4 days) in workday and have the employee sign it. Now, wait for the shocker: any manager... — read more
Working under a control freak
I've been here for a year and I've come to realize my manager can’t let anything go. He changes directions mid-project, gives out bad info, and sticks his nose into things he clearly doesn’t understand. Every decision turns into a meeting about... — read more
CDAI gone
A month after the CDAI head got layered, nearly all of his directs were let go or moved elsewhere this week. We all saw it coming as this was a poorly run org that SVP never cared for.

Dow Falls 300 Points as Bank Worries Spark a Flight to Safety
LOL. WTF... It goes up, then it goes down, then it goes up and down again. The only thing that changes is number of employees at the Banks.
If you’re requesting an accommodation…
Please be nice to the person you are working with! We want to help you! We have been given a directive that we are expected to follow. We are doing our best but volumes are high due to the new 8 hour requirement. Thank you.
Declined relocation. Now what?
Several of us are in the same situation. We all declined to relocate. Does anyone have any experience with approximately how long it took before they received the severance DocuSign email?
WF outsourcing is a complete FAIL.....
Folks who've worked at WF for years know what I'm talking about. Take a great idea in theory, use the WF way, and F it all up!!!! WF 1ndia is a classic case. They took lower cost staff as the reason to outsource. Yet, WF built huge campuses over... — read more

Anybody else still coffee-badging?
I have been coffee badging ever since RTO started and I have never heard anything from my manager about time spent in the office. I am the sole person on my team at my location so I never see anyone I know when I go in. So I typically take a few... — read more
We do need to tax offshoring ASAP!!!
Importing labor or importing goods, what's the difference? There is no difference. Good jobs are sent oversee and only execs and hedge funds benefit. Stop destroying our worker and our country because of your greed.
All, are layoffs done for this year?
Thoughts?????????
Regional Banks Collapse
Those of you who remember the 2008 banking crisis should be paying attention to the regional Banks today. Looks like history is rhyming. Zions and Western Alliance have become stressed. Since financial markets never operate in a vacuum, let's see... — read more
Old ideas in tech make bad results
Look what’s happening in tech - irrelevant stats being used to stack rank people because the people in charge don’t have actual strategic ideas. Measuring keystrokes and then showing “improvement “. Lol. Butts in seats. If you don’t trust your... — read more

Declined relocation in August. Severance ppwk delayed?
In August this year, I declined the substantial position change to relocate to a core location. It’s now the middle of October and I have yet to receive the severance package paperwork to sign. Any idea why such a long delay? Thanks.
8 hrs in-office for exempt
Has anyone heard for sure if exempt (professional and managers) are part of the 8 hour RTO requirement? It’s odd that exempts are not paid for working a specific number of hours, yet they’re requiring it by proxy through this RTO policy. I see that... — read more

So, now that the earnings are out and we know things are going well
That means we're going to pause bi-weekly layoffs for a while, right? No need for it anymore, right? Right? Yeah, I didn't think so.
