My manager cascaded down an email from my 3-up about the 3-up having a dashboard monitoring time in office ( no mention of days or time ) being reflected in mid-years.

@ba+1jn74jyrt You were obviously joking, but…you can actually request keystroke count from HR is you suspect an employee of not working and can make a case for it.
Sorry to hear, welp see you in the cubicles
Worked from home. For about a decade I was in a role where location actually was essential, so I went in. My current role, it's actually detrimental and was for years before COVID, so I was WFH for the duration of my time in this role until HY started being stupid.
What did you before the pandemic amiga?
It doesn't benefit WF in any way for me to drive around town and go to the assigned building. 100% of the people I collab with are spread across the country. So, yeah. Literally a negative return on that "investment". Keep telling me it's aLl aBoUt bUsInEsS.
Not sure why they don’t share this report so we can validate. I thought we were all about transparency. I personally would like to see it and i think we should be able to see everyone;s. Is this a secret. Is it confidential how many hours are in the office. If they were in the office they could see. I do think we should be able to see it.
employers only want you to work from home when it benefits them. Nights and weekends, no problem, weekdays from 9-5, not so much
Keep playing games HY. I already waste most of my in office time being unproductive and distracted. I actually get cr-p done at home. If you want me wasting 100% in office hanging out by the water cooler doing nothing useful...
I got an email from Charlie saying he was tracking my every keystroke.
Funny, exempt employees that work longer hours at times; bend over backwards over weekends or emergencies (cough! Shoreview event), helping WFINDIA get up to speed, and hours are tracked and becoming a point of poor performance/not meeting expectations. So how about all those additional hours when there are fire-drills and people give up their personal time to be supportive? Not tracked, right? No + on merit or bonus, right?!? Where is the respect? Honestly, tracking hours in office will eventually turn out to be a big lawsuit, I'd suspect. Hourly employees, I get that, but the rest - cr-ppy that lots of $ spent on reports vs. recognizing those that go above and beyond. The #1 thing to success in anything will always start with "trust." I don't see where that is with so much BS going on...
Yep i got covered i am an IT ninja hiyaaaa!!
@an Hope you managed to scrub every log that shows you accessing, modifying, and saving it.
(follow up from immediately below)
If I remember correctly, it's based on time connected to the network since many buildings do not require badging out
Yes, this information is being tracked but I've been told we are not supposed to use it in performance reviews yet. They were thinking of making >= 4 hours in office required to count for a day in the office, but nothing has been decided yet
Good luck enforcing this imaginary report when a day in the office hasn’t been defined. The only non compliance is not going at all based on the current non definition.
I was able to hack into the report and update my status hehehe
I guess you better start staying longer than 20 min
All of the above
a few people having been talking about this new report for months. there is the regular rto report and this new one which tracks time in office that up until now only sr. leadership has had access to but my guess is alone they iron out all the kinks it will trickle down.
Easiest way to get around it is to show up in office 6+ hrs per day 3 days per week
How do they track? Entrance/exit? Time behind the laptop/station?
Did your manager also complain about people dressing too casually for office work?
My 3-up said 30% were not meeting RTO ( 3 days ).
Ask to see your managers and the 3 up stats.
