In office should be optional except to those clearing struggling. Performance issues, attendance issues , cannot do the work etc. not hard to see who those people are at all

@4dhv+1mVhJ8Dj - there’s a thing called day off, after hours, lunch and break. Please tell me you’re smarter than others. Based on your assumption I’m going to guess no

The guy constantly calling others slackers (pretending to be multiple posters) is on this forum all day during work hours posting.

The irony.

You nailed it. They’re also the first to complain when management reacts appropriately. I hope that Robin somehow manages to cut through the cr-p to displace the slackers. Thankfully they’re at least monitoring badge swipes.

No, the The issue here is that there were many people who were being anything but productive over COVID. Far too many to weed out. it would be nice to not punish as a whole but sadly the slackers were far more numerous than hard workers. It is much more work to weed out those who were indeed abusing the policy.

@1dnk+1mVhJ8Dj after the initial communication we received confirmation our exemption had been extended “temporarily”. An on-site visit last week confirmed that exemption has been lifted. We expected this was coming. Those outside 50 mile radius can discuss potential WFH arrangements at their managers discretion.

@2fyh+1mVhJ8Dj - obviously not. If people didn’t sc--w around for the 3 years we were able to wfh and they weren’t still calling out still or missing major stuff, they wouldn’t think RTO was the answer to fix the mess. They need to get rid of the people who cannot do their jobs and clearly there are a lot of them

I’m far from a company man, but Robin is really going to have to put the hammer down hard to right this ship. Can you believe the typical hostile attitude towards work that seemingly every poster here seems to echo?

Never thought that I’d be posting something like this but our employees are outing themselves as toxic workers.

The email says that you have until 7/1 to make arrangements to be in office 3 days per week. Remember, RV said he doesn’t WANT to make it 5 days, but if he has to he will. So basically it will be 5 days sooner than later since it was all a part of the big picture. All employees in the office 5 days a week by end of year. You can start looking for other WFH jobs but unfortunately everyone is going back to in office work. They don’t want empty buildings anymore.

@ksd+1mVhJ8Dj - too poopy are the definition of full of cr-p. You might get away with it a couple times but it’s a federal bank . You think your bu-t won’t be terminated having someone else pretend to me you and scan your badge. Nobody is supposed to even have that. Wait until your peers have to be in and don’t see d-mb d-mb in. You’ll be ratted out then you and the person swiping it will be standing in the welfare line together

You must be a EM minion based on your responses. Stop licking their boots and face facts that the work can be done anywhere. Rto is only being spewed as to just not have an empty building. Pull your head out you might think clearly rather than kiss their a$$es

Typical management/labor dialectic playing out. Employers want to get more work for less money, and employees want to do less work for more money. Employers would have employees believe they are essentially 'lazy and unethical' for simply wanting something that's better for them and their families. Disingenuous if you ask me. Employees have as much power as current market conditions dictate, and I suspect it is only a lack of organization that prevents them from fully exercising that power. Short of forming a union (probably unrealistic), there are other ways to send a message to management. They include things like a 'sick out' and 'quiet quitting'.

When the cuts start there are going to be so many “woe is me” stories here. But every hard working employee is going to nod their head knowingly and give thanks that the slackers are gone.

Stop the insanity. How is asking people to return to work for their pay “punishing people?”. People here are losing it.

Time for the more deranged employees to wake up and smell the coffee. All of this B.S. talk of not giving up the power of working at home. All cr-p. Vacation is over and this massive work strike isn’t going anywhere. All that you’re accomplishing is quitting your jobs with no package.

Don’t compound your idiocy by trying to use the bank as a reference.

The big issue here is that there are people who are being productive at home and will be punished regardless. Why punish as a whole? Guess its more work to weed out those that are in fact abusing the policy.

Absolutely. The dirty little secret is that we measured productivity in the COVID era and it was way down.

Right now we’re really missing Todd’s leadership and gentle guidance. A thoughtful leader, friend to all and a trusted confidante, only Todd could get us out of this mess.

“ We all were hired to work in the office and Robin is going to enforce it.”

Wrong. Some of us, more than you realize, live nowhere near an office and were hired as BAH. Companies were in such a bind a few years ago, many here who live in commutable distance were also hired as BAH. True story.

Don’t act surprised at review time when you get a cr-p rating. Anyone not going in will be put on corrective action. It’s called insubordination for one, not available for work for two . You got hired to do a job and if you don’t like the rules go somewhere else. Then the rest of us can have peace and quiet

Some of you are the most ridiculous individuals. You are the exact reason why they are pushing us back in office. I Guarantee most of you weren’t doing what you were supposed to wfh and you contributed to the issues that they are now convinced RTO will resolve. Great job but hey play the victim card in here

WFH was never a policy. It was Todd’s COVID era allowance to work at home to keep employees healthy. Unfortunately employees began to mail it in and productivity dropped.

We all were hired to work in the office and Robin is going to enforce it.

Can you provide more detail about your warning. What is the email from your boss or HR… Have you been in the office at all? Or just barely under the ridiculous three day requirement, etc.
