This is because AI investments are not yielding significant results. Companies like Meta have laid off top-performing employees after spending heavily on AI initiatives.

So our site is getting closed next week. How does the displacement go down? Do they send you an invite the day prior to come onsite the next day and drop off your laptop and badge? Since there’s hundreds of us in the site curious how this will go... — read more 

Buh bye

it’s over my fellow coworkers. No matter what you do you can’t save your job. It’s all over.

by end of year

Too many bootlickers https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/westpac-work-from-home-jobs-australia-b2849083.html

Someone posted the other day that this site doesn’t have useful information anymore. Well I’m offering up some right here. I’ve posted before with insights on RTO being delayed, what the original RTO mandate would look like, how time in office is... — read more 

As far as I am concerned, their behavior constituted belligerent fraud.

I keep seeing/hearing people say they are on some list for not being in the office 8 hours. If I was on this list would I know? I never do 8 hours, not even 2. As far as I'm aware I'm not on this list, why?

The OCC's effort to hold former Wells Fargo executives accountable for the bank's fake-accounts scandal — which relied on charges brought in the administrative law system — has ended with barely a... — read more 

Does any other company have the sh-tshow Wells Fargo has on this site?

For whatever reason I think they are tracking us? What does this forum think?

I clock in at around 8:30 AM, then around 2 PM, I left the office… I came back around 4:30, and I left at 5 PM. Do I get credit for 8.5 hours?

Like crowdstrike outage last year, similar issues with Amazon AWS. Poor programmers in India

5-6 hours is enough if you go back home and finish up there 8 hours is perfection

I was skeptical about the 8 hour office hours before, until I got a warning. People on this forum also warn about activities been tracked, I did not believe it. Well today , there was a general email about activities been monitored. Say you go for... — read more 

It’s better to be clear and consistent

Management has communicated that the individual with the lowest production on each team, regardless of whether they meet the defined quota, will receive an “Inconsistently Meets Expectations” rating during their next performance evaluation.

Why is this company fixated on the number 8? From 8 is great to 8 hours in their offices, what’s the link?

Please stop conflating in-office requirements with digital activity. The expectation that has been put out is 8 hours in-office. Period. Somehow this has been conflated by id--t managers who are telling their team that they must also have 8 hours of... — read more 

Two people I know got it. Have to go to office where their manager is located.

One of the key characteristics of exempt employees is flexible hours. Employees of this bank work more or fewer than 40 hours in a week, but they get their work done. Do we have a few bad apples? Every place does. Bring it DF, we right here!!!

Is 6 too short? How about 7 or 7.5? Will this be included in performance review?

Okay, most are not happy about the 8 hours. I have a serious question-- are people really busy 8 hours a day every day? Honestly? My work has highs and lows, sometimes I'm working 10-12+ hours/day, but in the low times I'm working less, and not... — read more 

If they are going to treat exempt staff like hourly employees, threatening to hurt our review and bonus, i want my overpay time pay, i work weekends and sometimes 10 hr days. If they in anyway try and threaten us i would demand to see the data, for... — read more 

Its true! I chatted with my counselor today, and it was great! I told her I'm off the bottle (barely drink at all anymore) and in fact I'm loving the job search! It's almost like Christmas, the thought of doing work I actually enjoy - in a new... — read more 

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 

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?

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 

When will the remote employees be severanced?

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.

Does this count against 8 hours? Feel like a child having to even ask this question.

Work at night is very common for our team. Will I get a PIP? Or let go? My family needs the paycheck.

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 

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.

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 

Is the plan that any remote employees, or those who don't live close enough near a hub, will be let go by 2027 if they don't relocate?
