Heard that they’re tracking it hard this year. Four hour minimum in the office, three days a week. Two warnings and then possible termination.

Everyone has to return to office, except for the golden children in New York City.
They got free breakfasts, free lunch, and free van rides and it didn't work.
True, they do have to dodge random crimes on the way to and from work. Safely hint: stay away from the train and subway tracks.
I'm surprised the ELT hasn't got a clue and had MetLife relocate from NYC. It's not like we need to be there to courier over bond buy and sell orders like might have been necessary 50 years ago.
More and more companies are moving to fully remote where possible. Going back to an office scenario does not even make sense and is certainly not the future state of the workplace. The companies that are late to this game will lose a massive amount of talent.

Citigroup bringing underperforming staff back into the office. If Met follows, MANY would have to RTO. Unlikely, as Met is in some serious denial about just how many underperformers there actually are. Everyone gets a participation trophy....on Center Stage to boot!

Yeah, they seem to be happy keeping the lazy and unemployable associates, while top talent walks away. Lazy and unemployable don't ask for much.
It might be the easy way, but they neglected to ask themselves, "which people are going to leave, if we do this?"
On the other hand, if they believe everyone is more or less interchangeable, then it makes perfect sense.
Just sounds like they are taking the easy way out. Low pay and bonuses, force RTO.
No PR hit on firing people if they just get fed up and leave on their own.
There's going to be regular reporting to MK and Co on compliance numbers. Between this and the low raises we're about to get, it's like they're actively trying to get people to stop working.
Recently, 200 Park has been even more lenient in letting hybrid employees to continue to stay home 5 days a week. Hard to believe they will reverse course now. Hard enforcement? That'll be the day the Company grows a pair.
When does this hard enforcement start?
There are always options

IT is always problematic
This a way to let go off people on there own without lay off
COVID raging again..

Plenty of companies expanding wfh...
Everyone needs to stand together on this and say no.
Facebook, Microsoft not renewing leases on several buildings. Wfh is here to stay.
jmr+1kKh4SAl Wait for few more days. They are still informing teams on the enforcement for RTO. Will see changes soon across all locations.
Come to 200 Park, no enforcement, still do as you please...
Yes. We are also informed to be in office 3 days compulsory. Everything will get tracked.
Still 3 days a week for our organization.
Hybrid was 3 days at home. Is that changing?
