Maybe it’ll hit when the expectations become impossible to meet, by design. Or when it becomes too painfully obvious that efficiency, productivity, and real collaboration have all declined, and no amount of corporate fluff can cover it up. At this point, it feels pointless to complain about the rising costs, the exhausting commutes, or the arbitrary rules. They don’t want you to adapt. They want you gone.

I’ll believe when I see an announcement or a post that sounds credible. I know my pulse point can’t accommodate 3 days a week for everyone as we simply don’t have the desk space. I guess if they look like they are remodeling to expand footprint then maybe I’ll worry. I got too many other things to worry about than things that haven’t happened yet. Bi--hing about it won’t change anything.
@1cm so because the date is wrong - you think that negates the plan - get a clue - this place is a moving target of truth and lies - they will drag in anyone they please - they have treated line staff anyway they choose years -
@1ag I don’t know but I don’t believe it’s true. I think it is a troll posting this. The date on previous posts was 9/1 as effective date. So I less than 40 days we are expected to be compliant to go to office 3 days a week?????? This is why I think it is the work of a troll. They also keep referencing FEP. I don’t know why one business division would have this requirement while the rest wouldn’t. I think this is an unverified rumor.
@1ag sooner than you think and sooner then they think
When will RTO 3 x a week go in effect to non managers?
I’m enjoying going back to the office.
It’s frustrating that leadership doesn’t seem to understand the nature of our industry.
Unlike many other sectors, health insurance has never operated in a traditional in office model even long before COVID.
Instead of recognizing that, we’ve blindly followed trends from unrelated industries, without considering how fundamentally different our work is.
Employees are miserable with this change. It’s demoralizing and tiring to keep saying the same thing.
For roles like sales, underwriting, and account management where teams are tied to specific markets it makes sense to collaborate in person.
But for the majority of us, who have always been hired based on skill and experience regardless of geography, returning to a physical office doesn’t add value.
Our model has always been about hiring the best talent wherever they are not about where they sit.
@OP correct - no amount of complaining will change a thing. What I believe will flip the script is when people realize that AIP is essentially gone - raises will su-k, and when line staff are required to go in - line staff think it won't happen, Leads think it won't happen, but it will you can bet on it - then your professionalism will be questioned. For those of us who lived through being salary then flipped to hourly and made to work till 8pm and Saturdays have seen this sh-t show before.
