Wow somebody must have filed a lawsuit with some teeth to it. All 5 day RTO halted effective immediately. Announcement forthcoming Friday Morning!!!!
Someone must have got caught targeting and separating employees in groups for 3 day versus 5 day RTO. Now they want to hide it by classifying everyone as 3 day RTO.
This forum is going to go crazy with this red meat!!!!!!!
Correction. I meant to say, if it’s any consorration, I meant no harm.
OP here. aka, bok choy. Choy go bok home. My post was just a hoax. I’m sorry. I didn’t realize that it would cause such a stir fry. If it’s any consolation, I meant no harm.
LOL….Still waiting!!
Y’all will fall for this trick again while the site reaps monetary benefits for spike in traffic. Ignore and don’t be tempted to click the link next time you see another too good to be true post. Maybe this will correct some behavior around bogus posts that keep showing up.
OP is having a good laugh at our expense right now. It was probably McElfresh.
There were many unfair layoff related to RTO and presence report issues this year, what they will do with them, will they mark them rehire eligible as now these things looks partial to those who got impacted.
@eh in this job market? Yes.
Mr. “Check your in box I just got the email” what org and location are you? I haven’t seen anything. In fact, out Lenox team starts 5 days on Monday.
"Can’t be all that bad because you have stayed."
Most people adjust. In this case, the employee base is adjusting by working less hours and caring less about the company. To use a euphamisim, Stankey has managed to create a culture in which "the passengers hope the plane crashes so the pilot will be ki-led". I get my commute time back by reducing my office hours to no more than 40. 8 & skate, it can wait. Great job to Stankey and the people who support his ego.
"Can’t be all that bad because you have stayed."
Had I known what I know now I would have taken the severance offer. When the offer comes again, I will be gone.
“Not enough parking, desks or focus areas with a tiny modicum of privacy. I can’t sit with the people I’m most likely to “collaborate “ with and everyone around me is on calls the entire day. I spend 90% of every day with noise cancelling headphones on to drown them out. It’s asinine.”
Can’t be all that bad because you have stayed.
@e0 such an antiquated view. Thinking people aren’t working unless they are in an office is just ignorant. Most people work longer and harder in a comfortable setting.
@e7 you took the words right out of my mouth. Going to the office isn’t the issue. The office conditions are. Not enough parking, desks or focus areas with a tiny modicum of privacy. I can’t sit with the people I’m most likely to “collaborate “ with and everyone around me is on calls the entire day. I spend 90% of every day with noise cancelling headphones on to drown them out. It’s asinine. They are trying to drive people out instead of doing their jobs and laying off poor performers. Our first day back to 5 days a week was also the first day of employee appreciation week. What a joke.
Check your inbox I just got the email!!!!!
@ea they are most definitely trying to run people off.
That is a different issue. In the past there were two actions . . . RTO (return to office) and FTW (follow the work). For some reason, this time around the two actions have gotten meshed together under the moniker of RTO. Regardless of the FTW, the company needs to provide workspace for all of us when we get to the office, where ever it is.
Very likely some groups got a delay or reprieve again. Just goes to show those of us that have been 5x for a while now are being targeted for reductions. It makes 0 sense to be in the office that much. I have had 0 face to face or team meetings in the 6 months we’ve been 5x, nor did I have any face to face or team meetings during the prior 3x and I’m in Atlanta. We were fully remote long before covid. The only way this makes sense is if you are trying to run off people.
too good to be true but ill be ignorantly hopeful because why not
@e7 going to the office is not the issue. It’s them changing where your office is that’s the problem.
"Go to the office; it’s called a job."
Going to the office for 5 days is not the issue. The issue is not having a parking space, a desk, or the ability to have a confidential conversation. So, take your advice and shove it up your boomer a-s.
CSO groups at Lenox, Alpharetta, and NJ have been told they can stay at 3 days. Lenox and Alpharetta were scheduled to go to 5 days next week, so that's a backpedal.
Note IDK if this applies to all of CSO, just those 3 locations, or just certain groups. YMMV
Click bait
“I just retired and think this is funny”
You know what else is funny, smoking cigarettes at your desk, pushing paper from a typewriter, and not having a phone on your desk. The way it was when you started working.
News flash, (this may be hard for you to understand) that’s not how things work anymore. The world changes and requirements also change. If you “just” retired then you know all work is done via MS teams and ZERO in person face to face meetings. So why be in an office?
You just retired for a reason. You are in a different station of life with a different boomer mindset. This isn’t 1970 anymore, pal. We don’t need to physically be in an office to work when all our work is completed on a computer.
I just retired and think this is funny. Used to go to the office 5 days a week and we were doing great. Making money, customers were happy and great friends in the office. Now the workplace su-ks, every finds a reason not to come in, customers are pi---d and profits are in question. The next generation doesn’t seem to want to work for their paycheck or care about the customer to create job security. Go to the office; it’s called a job.
Another bullcxtt post to drive engagement on this toxic site..
No email. Not surprised. What is the benefit to the execs? They hate us all and want most of us gone. Why would they do something that makes us happy? It’s all designed to make you quit and prop up the commercial real estate market for our shareholder Blackrock. Every company that has done RTO has been owned by Blackrock.
I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but there’s a lot of Friday morning left.
" While this would have helped is apparently was bs"
I love that this person has been sitting by their inbox, waiting for the big announcement.
While this would have helped is apparently was bs
Reason? Take your pick!
Miserable employees
Laughing stock of Telecom
Everyone hates leadership
Production in the toilet.
Lawsuits
Deliberately targeting employees with 5 days while others are 3 and some even 1.
New leadership
They can’t attract talent
Young employees aren’t staying here without a pension and see a toxic culture
Because it was the d-mbest idea ever.
It’s happening
FACTS!!!
This will either be the greatest breaking news story this site has ever seen or I’ll probably just never come back here again.
For the record I don’t believe it one bit.
🧢
Fire the leaders that implemented RTO -- starting with Townes & ending with Stank.
I want my 4-day weekends back that T stole as a benefit.
Magic 8 Ball Says "Very Doubtful"
@br CSO? We’ve been at five days since last year because of Chad.
Whatcha you smoking?
I don’t believe it, but we will see.
CSO got email to remain at 3 days until further notice. Doubt it if you want, I don’t feed trolls.
