Do vacations and holidays count as in office days? How does this work?
Let’s say your on holiday or on vacation 4/5 days of the week how are you coming in twice that week?

@8syg, I prefer a generation knowing their self worth. H1-B workers should learn from them.
An unprepared generation is attempting to take their first tentative steps into adulthood and it’s not pretty…. and people are complaining about H-1B workers?
H-1B workers should be our role models.
You silly millennials. It’s called going to work. It costs paying for gas. It costs paying to park. It costs most of us 2 hours out of every day. And the worst of it is that demographically you all voted 80%+ for high gas and hyper inflation. Just vote better next time please because you’re impacting more than just yourselves.
Ha ha ha ha! You silly kids!
Unfortunately Tech is too important to have a day off and too unimportant to get a comp day.
It all depends on your direct manager! A colleagues manager and my manager report to the same senior manager and the colleagues manager couldn’t be more difficult about the requirement - sending he/she an email every week whether they are “green” / “red” and recommending that he/she go into a satellite office closer to his/her home when they are not feeling well. Bear in mind - one is in Pittsburgh and the other in the NYC metro area. My manager on other hand has never even mentioned “green” / “red” and only “accidentally” called someone out in a group teams chat after the person had not been into office in months during the summer of 2022.
What about tech who have to be in 10-15 days per Q? Any allowance for vacation/caregiver leave/parental leave/sickness.
I'm going to struggle to hit 10 days over the summer.
Mostly good advice here. Each senior manager sets the tone, so many different answers to be found.
The folks that were just laid off in January wish they had the problem of coming into the office during holiday weeks or having to “make up” in office time.
I could almost see why you would be thinking that, but unfortunately we had two COVID years and both Digital Pulse logging and worker output showed that people were online but not very productive. So our own coworkers screwed us. I can understand management’s view.
My understanding is that you’d have to make up the time elsewhere to hit the minimum 10 days over the rolling 4 week period
I completely understand how some people are as crazy as @2zky. They're just not smart enough to realize that when most of us go to office we don't actually see anyone we work with.
I just can’t understand the mentality of people who won’t go to work.
We need more H-1B employees for sure. Americans, millennials in particular, seem to feel entitled to not show up for work.
I’ve never seen anything quite like it. I’m with Robin on this. Cut employees and replace with contractors and H1-B workers. This is work, not playpen time.
WTF????? This has to do what with layoffs?
TB must be laughing his ar-e off

Look just work. It’s not that friggin’ hard.
a55, what’s that? You referencing an excel cell or something? Is your boss making too much noise eating at their desk? What’s the reference?
I think it depends on whose a55 your boss is eating.
I accomplished more at my dining room table on Friday then I did with my in office days. Nothing but constant chatter and interruptions while in office.
In our department we do not have to make the days up. If we have a holiday or one day off we come in one day that week.. if we are off two days we don’t need to come in that week… if we have 3 or more days off we don’t come in and we don’t need to make it up at all.
How am I coming in two days that week if I have a holiday and let’s say Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday off? What if I have the whole week off?
That’s why I believe holidays and vacation must count towards in office days.
from what I was told, if a holiday falls on a Monday and you usually come into the office on Monday, you'd still have to come in 2 days that week. also was advised, if you have three or four days off that week, you'd have to come in the other days that week.
