Is it two, or is it three? If I am just doing 2, am I meeting the expectation? How many pieces of flair do I need to wear, Stan?

So… let me get this straight…
We moved to a new high priced management team in New York and they have experience and credentials out the wazoo. And yet, even with all the Goldman Sachs and other relationships, nobody can instruct HR on the rules for attendance in the office? And if they tried, H.R. & Jolen couldn’t communicate it?
These ultra-wealthy “leaders” were born into money & power and likely could not organize a picnic let alone scheduling RTO rules. They do not even understand how to delegate the delivery of the message to the admins.
The Emperors have no clothes. I’m easy to find…. divested all of my B.K. stock on Nov 10th. Good luck to all of you in finding your way out.
Haha! Best post I've seen on this site.
Hope you eventually find a job at a company that doesn't suck. Good luck!
Robin says that RTO is two to three days a week. His own senior leaders know that he really means 3 days a week. In the meantime we are hiring permanent work at home employees even as others are subjected to the two or three days. Different rules for different individuals in the same roles can only create conflict between and within teams.
Repeat after me, “Robin is a leader and a manager”.
It makes perfect sense. It's somewhere in between 2 and three. If you we only in 2 days last week and the week before, then the minimum this week is 3 days.
It’s merely one more side effect of the 8 excess layers of middle management. As children we all played a game in school where someone tells a story, the next one passes it on around the ring and the last one tells the group a very different story. Massive delayering of middle management not only cuts costs, it dramatically improves efficiencies. When was the last time that anyone worked for a manager who knew what you do let alone understood it?
@4kbn+1jqvHPTS there absolutely is a huge market for fully remote IT/software engineering jobs. The best companies are fully remote. It's easy to get up to a $100k per year salary boost just from leaving BNY and going to literally anywhere else. When you apply to those new jobs, ask for at least $20k more than whatever pittance BNY is currently paying you because you're worth at least that much, and way more if you're in a senior role. Use job boards that specialize in virtual vocations to only look for vetted, fully remote positions. Good luck.
It's time to start filling out applications sigh. They won't let employees be happy and work remotely. Total BS move. There seems to be plenty of 100% remote work out there in IT, wish me luck.
Idk and quite frankly I don't care. I guess I am a lucky one with a manager who doesn't care where we are as long as the work gets done. The office is a cesspool where no work gets done. WATER COOLER TALK!
Personally l, I’d rather be laid on
You should be laid off
Anyone else see the email about year end reviews and the minimum 2-3 days requirement?
Collaboration is bs in so many areas. Teams meetings from home are the same as Teams meetings in the office. I don’t work with anyone in my actual office.
It’s comical. They think if they say the word collaboration enough and how great it is to see their colleagues in the office, everybody will believe it. Some sheep will… Many of us know it’s all BS
Meanwhile select tech and ops employees are 10 days a quarter!
When RV says this, he means 3. And all of his new hires, the same. So 2 to 3 will soon be 3.
Right. A minimum is a number, not a range. But to answer the "how" question, it's standard BNYM stupidity, that's how.
Leaving room for needs/requirements of different teams. Flexibility is a good thing.
2-3 days a week depending on location. I love how they want current employees in the office but still offering fully remote for new employees.
Im so glad I’m leaving
They won’t nail down a number because some Divisional CEOs have their own personal requirements. CK in WM for instance has decided all must be in 3 days minimum or else.
