There HAS to be people that come to this platform and HAVE information in regards the RTO “mandatory hours requirements”.
Can someone just spill the beans for the sake of all the employees and do us a favor and tell us straight up if we should be staying 8 hours?
Instead of management not being transparent and some giving us the green light to leave after 4 hours, some not understanding the policy, and some not saying anything until they have a meeting with you to inform that you’re being “laid off” because you didn’t meet the RTO policy.

Dunno… I can’t read gibberish..
Hate to tell you all, but you all started this war. People who won’t come to work are toxic and hopefully every last RTO refusenik will be terminated for cause.
For goodness sakes… check your email.
Ask your mother what it means.
Unbelievable.
Stay the whole 8 hours! 3 days a week! I was one of those let go in December and majority of time I stayed for a few hours with some days just badging n leaving. They have fired those as well who stay all 3 days and only for a few hours so if I were you just stay the 8 hours and follow the policy. It seems like eventually it will be RTO. Do not take any chances by leaving early. Even my manager was cool with what we on the team were doing but we were still let go. Keep the job for now do the 8 hours n go home. Don't put in any more than you have to when home in the evening and weekends. My advice right now is job market is tough right now and I would just go in and stay the whole day, regardless what manager says. HR does not care. Luckily I got approved for unemployment but someone else I know who got fired, BNY told unemployment that she quit. So please don't leave early.

Hate to break this to you baby, but, your time is being micromanaged. You are being insulted. You are not viewed as a professional
here. And finally, when the 5 day mandate comes, you will be hard pressed to WFH except
For weekend coverage and holidays. You are expendable and all this RTO is, is just another toolkit to try to get you to fall off your tricycle. Sorry babe, but you need a reality check.
Reply to 1jh1kp9fq. If 5 days are mandated, it’s still 40 hours per week. If I spend 6 in one day and work 3 hours from home in the early evening, then it’s 41 hours. We are professionals and should be treated as such, not like toddlers. Areas have different types of work and needs. Managers should be allowed to manage that. This micromanagement of time will hopefully never occur. It’s actually insulting.
What are all of you going to do when BNY wants you back in 5 days a week? It’s coming. That’s a promise. Other banks already planning it. Robin wants it too.
@a8+1jh1kp9fq And @a9+1jh1kp9fq in general I would love to know what your hours are. Do you get done at 4, 5, 6, etc. Can you get stuck at work till 9/10PM for no good reason like some of us in operations? Do you know about your late nights and are able to plan for them in advance or does it just happen at a moments notice like us? We prefer to be home before the busy pricing window when everything seems to break for no reason. It su-ks that folks in your situation assume it works for the rest of us and will ruin it for us.
I normally leave at 1. I let my staff do the same. They work better from home. Has not been a problem thus far.
I look at it as 40 hours per week and not 8 hours per day. For salaried folks. So if I do 6 hours one day and 10 another, all good. Your manager needs to be ok with this though. I know the ones in my Division are supportive. As long as the EC doesn’t insist on a certain number of hours in office per day. But that seems insanely controlling and oppressive. They should have better things to do than mandate minutes.
Pal, you are looking for a paycheck without earning it. QUIT A--HOLE
It’s pretty simply original poster-ta-d.
You go in 3 days a week and you actually do
Your job for 7.5 hours or more. Then you leave and go home. Then you do 2 days a week at home with 7.5 hours of pure work. If you are a manager, then, its 4 days office 1 day home.
- Why are you looking for information from random people ? If your question is about a policy ask your manager your manager's manager or HR.
- Yes the requirement is full day - which is 8 hrs. It is in your paycheck .. You are required to work 2080 hrs a year (52 * 40 ). Your pay check will say 86.67 hrs per paycheck (twice a month paycheck). Nothing more is explicit than that.
- Anything else is an arrangement / understanding between you and your immediate manager. There is no written policy and random people will have random arrangements and they do not become the rule. And it can put you in violation unless your manager is wiling to bat for you
- HR is pretty transparent (and clear) . We are in denial. And I am not a HR person.
The RTO policy is very explicit. They have provided mechanisms to amend the errors and unique conditions. Are the rules perfect ? May be not for unique cases. There are always exceptions to the rules.
As long as one sticks to 8 hrs and the days required you are always in the clear with respect to RTO. There is no magic. A simple requirement. Whether that is right or not is a different topic.
Trying to circumvent is what one notices here in this forum.
Pal… if I wanted to work, I wouldn’t be asking
7 hours.
4 days starting April.
Transparent? Work pal
If you haven't figured it out already, the policy I purposely ambiguous. And they're going to keep it that way so they can continue to use it to fit their reduction goals.
And will the be requiring more days in office?
