50% in office policy?

[anonymous]

What’s the exact hybrid 50 % in office policy, I thought 2 days in office one week alternating with 3 days in office, but hours were not monitored. This past week I heard of several employees who were flagged because their in office percentage was in the 20% even though they have been doing the 2 and 3 day. Are we supposed to be in the office a minimum number of hours too?

Assume that badge swiping in isn’t enough - laptops have wi-fi network and location data.

lol both posts are from the same troll loser.

If you’re the type of person who, in the middle of a goddamn layoff apocalypse, decides to make a forum post about tracking employee laptops, you’re not just a loser, you’re a rat. You’re the kind of toxic piece of work that makes everyone else want to jump out the window rather than sit next to you in the office. 'Hey guys, maybe we should track everyone’s laptops,' says the guy who probably sleeps with a picture of Stalin on his nightstand. You’re not just throwing people under the bus, you’re backing that bus up over them multiple times. No wonder everyone's working from home - it's not the Covid virus we were scared of, it's you! People like you are the reason the culture is dogshit. DIAF

They never stated a specific hour requirement, but wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the next policy to come down the pike

There is no policy for hours. It's badge swipe. 50% in a 2 week period but you can't do 0 days week1 and 5 days week 2. It needs to be essentially 2 days 1 week and 3 days the next week. They recently integrated this into Workday and eTime so make sure your OoO time is reflected appropriately. Many groups running this report every 2 weeks to check and the report spits out percentages per week and then the average per 2 weeks. If they got flagged for 20% that means they were only badged in 1 day in 5 days that week.

There's no hours requirement as we don't badge out. Each business unit has different sensitivities. I'm typically in the 30-40% range and been told that was fine.

It’s crazy how the hundreds of billions of dollars in waste/fraud in the government is now being seen in the private sector as well - this is incredible and we are blessed to have leadership uncovering it

The government has essentially unlimited money, private sector has these issues but at a much smaller scale and is rooted out regularly through layoffs. We’re not doing studies on shrimp running on treadmills and McKinsey (our doge) has been roaming the halls for years now.

OMG are you really questioning the definition of a “day”? The company clearly wants you to be there for the workday, not just swipe in and leave. Someone who is only there 20% but goes in 5 days over 2 weeks is spending less than a half day there each time. This probably wasn’t one isolated incident but an ongoing pattern for this person. Yes, it’s a stupid policy, but don’t play dumb and try to find silly loopholes.

Agree with you. The policy is better than most companies, And I prefer this to having to be in the office five days per week.

Complete agreement here, very generous policy and very fair

It's not better. Pre-Covid, we were at 60% (2 days home permitted universally). After 2 years of complete remote work with multiple approvals and excellent performance we were rewarded with an extra 10% from home? The policy is fine I guess, but still quite restrictive. Not enough to quit over, yet.
