Does anyone know how the dashboard that monitors badge-ins treats days spent working at locations other than your assigned location? I have a 45-minute commute to my assigned office, but there is an Operations center about 5 minutes from my home. Before leadership lost their minds over forcing RTO, I used to occasionally work out of an available desk at that office, and still have badge access. I'm thinking about going back there occasionally - less than once a week, since I think part of the metric is at least 50% of in-office time should be at your assigned office - but I'm curious if I'd raise any flags by doing this. Any day that I'm able to work out of the closer office will save me close to two hours of just waste time commuting.

You’re just giving them an additional data point to fire you.
Managers see the locations on their report. Up to them if it matters.
Look for Corporate Risk to go 4 days a week starting January. HR to communicate soon hour minimum expectations in office. Truth.
I have heard it depends on what office you are talking about. For example in Charlotte both the cic and uptown are tech hubs. I have heard it doesn’t matter (assuming your team is not all assigned in one place). However, if you are in tech and try to go into the Ballantyne office they get a little edgy. Same with if you are going to an office where your business doesn’t operate.
I work at a non designated location but badge in an out of designated location 3 times a week and never had an issue. I guess they see my laptop on corporate wifi 3 times a week plus badging so its ok
I tell my staff to show up at designated office 2 days per week and any office the third day.
If you use it more than 50% of the time it will get flagged on the report.
Some locations monitor badge usage by visitors and if someone is there regularly, they will suspend badge access and/or write the manager.
No big deal OP. Do it.
I use up the 50 % - nobody has said anything
Why actually even going and work. Just coffee badge like the rest of us.
there is a flag in the reporting if you are >50%. up to your leadership what they do about it. you should be fine for 1 day per week assuming management at the closer office don't throw a stink
