What is the 8 hour rule / office equipment
Manager here who hasn't heard of this 8 hour in office rule. I've seen a lot of post about this so I know it's a thing. Was there an email sent out or were you guys just notified by leadership? Also, is anybody else's a lot of business not providing... — read more

Fun with Math
The below is said in jest, and is probably not something anyone should or would actually do. Also, it would only truly work if someone lived VERY close to the office. Go to office @ 7:00 am. Leave office at 7:05….. Go home. Come back at 2:55... — read more
Is Coffee Badging Over
For the coffee badgers since RTO, seems we have been busted big time. Anyone has any idea how to game the system with this 8 hour rule. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Are hours in office a 4 week rolling average? Thank you.
May have been asked before. Sorry if that is the case.
Benefits usage, and Rule of 55
If you are displaced, don't forget to take advantage of things like vision insurance, dental insurance, etc. Also, if over 55, look into 'Rule of 55'. 'Separation from Service' in IRS speak. It allows anyone 55 or older to withdraw funds from... — read more
Co-Location update anyone
Does anyone have the details of when the next round of the co-location strategy layoffs or relocation offers will occur? Particularly if you are the only one on your team at a site but it is a hub. Thanks

No logoff entry defaults to 8 hour network login

Amazon Cloud Hit
Was the WF rush to the cloud Risky? This risk averse employee thinks all of our data is at risk everyday it is on a cloud. Stupid is as stupid does.
Grass could be Greener

Changing to Retired during Severance Period

HR is closing out all RTO cases with no response or a canned response
If you needed reminding that HR / Allegations department / Ethicsline / Loudspeaker isn’t for employees this is it. They are closing out all cases about RTO with either no response besides “we have closed this case” or this canned response: “We have... — read more

If you start feeling sick, you can't leave until 8 hours
My manager informed us that you will be penalized for taking PTO halfway through the day and leaving early since it will count as a day in office where you spent less than 8 hours. This company really needs to get its act together and send out... — read more

Wells Fargo: the only office job that prohibits picking kids up from school
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

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.

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?
