I'm glad it was extended but concerned about going back. We seem to be following whatever Wells Fargo is doing. I feel like they're doing this because people are leaving left and right but I am concerned that once everything "settles down" we will be back in the office (most of us needlessly) 5 days per week.

Of course someone who doesn't know the difference between "you're" and "your" wouldn't be more productive at home. They need a babysitter sitting next to them 8 hours a day.
@2rsc, how much of our company is in operations? But even so, that would be $40 million per year which I'm sure is 1/10 of what we spend on office space. And that's assuming that the money paid out is a result of working from home. Most employees don't work with anyone sitting anywhere near them.
Agree with person thats said lots of mistakes getting made. There has been over 30 million paid out in first 3 quarters of this year which has already eclipsed last years tally. Just because people were working from home before covid doesn't mean it was actually working out well for anyone but the employee. Some people can actually work from home just fine but anyone in operations with daily deliverables is not delivering same quality from home, i have tried both and the system certainly isn't nearly as fast at home.
@1fbk, RTO has NOTHING to do with clientele. If that was the case, they'd NEVER let ANYTHING be done in India.
@1loi, LOTS of us worked form home before covid. Many offices moved to flexible working arrangements years ago and don't have enough seats for all their employees.
Stop crying, this was never a permanent arrangement. And stop saying your more productive, the company still S-CKS, still errors everyday. At least be honest and say you have more free time.
the bank is old school...bank for banks institutions governments and corporations...a clientele that requires command and control business operations all under an umbrella of regulators whose names will fill a book to list...
bottom line...PROPER SUPERVISION can only be done in a command and control setting where see and be seen is of paramount importance.
unless client attitude changes—no incentive— they want their money protected or regulations change — doubt it...they want more control not less...the bank will, continue on...command and control...look at gs jpm ms RTO plans...they lead Wall street...
you'll be back RTO in no time...workers who don't want RTO will leave...new ones whose conditions will be to be in office get hired...at higher pay and more jobs to india to pay for higher wages...
for what the future holds rto wise just follow jpm gs and ms...where they go WS goes...every thing else is noise...
you're welcome
F the office
