I’m surprised no rehearsed post on how many days to be in office this week?

Things might have changed since, but for at least a couple of years I was swiping whenever I felt like it. Often times even well after 5. I never once was told that I wasn't coming in the required 3 days. A swipe is all it took to get that checkmark - just like the "checkmark" approvals on ARM requests, LOL.
Then again, I did also get laid off. I was one of a couple members on my team who got laid off, my coworker was very diligent about working there 3 days a week so I don't think it made a difference. Your mileage may vary.
Either way, there was NO WAY in he__ I was actually going to work in the office 3 days a week with members of team situated all over the world and having to work virtually anyways! Yes I'm nervous about the salary difference but I have enough saved to figure out what I want to do on my own.
Good riddance!
HR is watching. If your manager doesn’t care they still get an email asking to remind you of the policy if you’re “showing a pattern of non-compliance.”
My manager is clueless and never checks.
Just in case HR is watching, I swing by to swipe any way so the big honchos can get the tax credits for company to help bolster their fake accounting smoke-and-mirros "earnings" (ha ha, what a joke).
that;s what it's all about. Tax credits.
One company owns the badge-swiping technology across the entire US, which they report to firms that pay them and the government.
State and local govt (not sure about Fed) in turn give Tax Credits to the companies with over a certain amount of employees (target anywhere betw 80-95% attendance) in key metro areas and states.
Then they take those tax credits and pay themselves $33MM/year.
Or they say "the Board" pays them that. (wink wink)
Scan and go
I was told by a very reliable senior leader that 5 day in office is being discussed and this time he thinks it will be implemented.
RTO here at BAC is a free for all. There is no parity for all associates. Many abide by the 3 day rule and many do not. There are tons of people that still do not come into the office and have no accommodation. Many of these are the favorites of that manager or the manager just does not want to deal with it. They are not going to terminate anyone that does not come to the office.
While I believe it’s not part of the hr monitoring 6 week rotation check I believe depending on your LOB managers have implemented their own checks AND THEY DO CHECK. 2 days in office scans for us and so know they are checking ours.
My team was informed 2 days scan also.
The last two weeks of the year are NOT monitored by compliance, This was established earlier this year when managers were told that monitoring would be on them going forward to manage. They get a report of attendance, and if one is not in compliance the manager has to explain why (vacation, sick, travel, etc). They do not get that report for the last weeks of the year.
None of this matters to me anymore. November 12th was the end for me :-)
We were told 2 days also. However, every other team on our floor was told they could WFH all this week and next week. It's been established that these weeks do not count towards "Workplace Excellence' compliance tracking. So just shows the type of a-holes I work for.
I was informed scan two days
