What are your thoughts about the return to work scenario that has been put into place?

It is my understanding that the managers have quotas and parameters to bucket 40 percent of their workforce permanently remote, 40 percent into the hybrid model with 20 percent of their employees in the in office permanently environment, its just a numbers game on the front end
People are overreacting. The 65% going to the hybrid model are "generally" expected to be in office 3 days a week. Has no one actually noticed the word generally in the announcement?? This isn't the first time what they're calling hybrid has existed at US Bank. It's just new to many people that will fall in the category. Some people will still have to go in 5 days, even mapped to hybrid. Some people may go in once a month. It's going to depend on the actual workgroup. Most people will have variable schedules depending on need.
Another complaint being repeated is that people with preexisting conditions aren't being considered. The government protects people that have genuine need for reasonable accommodation. It's not something to cry about on a company intranet page. It's something you bring to HR and management for actual approval.
In short, I think people are incriminating themselves, not actually proving they deserve to be remote.
Quit this disgraceful, waesel-riddled bank.
Find a job that fulfills YOUR instead of your manager's insecurities and power-games.

I’ve heard very different things about the Policy. The roll-out has frankly been a mess with unclear details and follow-up.
The enterprise announcement essentially said outside of a few job classifications (10 percent) everyone will move hybrid or full-time with no individual employee exceptions.
Meanwhile my manager was told by senior leaders that those grandfathered as remote will stay remote (pre-COVID remote employees), anyone who lives more than an hour from the office will not be hybrid and can stay remote, and anyone with chronic health conditions will not need to go back to the office.
But other managers in other orgs have told me that they weren’t told the same things my manager was, and are still planning to operate under the requirements of the original email.
