I don’t want to go back! :(
I feel you. Not interested in the 1 hour back and forth commute every day, paying to park, having to wake up much earlier just to make it to an office and wear a mask all day. Not to mention having to fork out $1,400/mo. for daycare. It's interesting though, my department has grown 1.5x since the pandemic began. We were already working in an open office environment, sitting at arm's length from the person next to you in a large open environment exchanging fluids. Every-time someone got the flu, everyone got it. I wonder what will be different, or if they will have to have some alternating arrangement.
I think they are using this to cull the employee base. Reduce headcount by 1) incenting people to leave (no package) and/or 2) terminate you for not drinking their toxic kool-aid (no packge). Then just push the work to those who remain or cheaper new hires. Either way, they get out of paying a boat load of packages.
Trying to get approval to wfh permanently is beyond ridiculous. I had approval from managers up to 2 levels below Brian M. But HR denied my request even though I have a legitimate reason for my request. The bank needs to get with the times because they will lose a lot of peiple
Yup @ @2mxi+1auek70C.
Bank will loose people due to not allowing remote work perk. Too much investment in new buildings pre–pandemic...Bank in a hard place.
First, the bank can and will lay people off even if there is more work than people. Second, there will be few if any exceptions to allow anyone to continue to WFH if in GTO. If you want a remote job, your best bet is to leave the bank and find a company that supports that. There are many more hybrid/remote jobs out there than before the pandemic.
I don't want to go back into the office either. My productivity is as good at home as in the office. I'm a top performer there and at home. I can hope for one of three outcomes. 1) They let me stay at home there is nothing meeting wise that can't be accomplished over the phone or video conference. 2) They lay some of us off. Not likely in fraud. There is more work then we can handle and we are getting overtime. 3) Call HR and see if there any retirement benefits I qualify for. 17 years with the Bank and 64 years old and either retire and look for a WFH job or resign after I find a work at home job.
My team is more productive and able to train more while working from home.
i am more productive and have the flexibility for work by working from home.
He also said in a bloomberg interview that some locations may open prior to labor day if vaccinations for that location are above 50%. Interview is posted on flagscape.
I heard layoffs next week in the U S
