They do look at vacation, sick, and PTO. People leaders are required to track, even if they aren’t strictly enforcing policy around it. If you or your management isn’t, then your entire department is in trouble when they audit against RTO.

Not true all over, many in MRL don’t require people to record their vacation days, sick days…and good luck getting travel records…how do I know this? Because I have seen SVPs asking people to fill out calendars with days they were in office, days they were traveling, days they were on vacation? Why? Because the have no easy way of getting those records
 












People need to relax, bunch of hollow threats by ET on this…I am pretty senior level, can tell you this is not being tracked below the SVP/VP level, managers not being ask to track…there is no way for people at that level to track actual compliance beyond badge swipes as most groups, orgs don’t require formal tracking of vacation days, travel for work, sick days…

Which is they’ve started asking people to fill out calendars with what days they were traveling, sick, or on vacation. In some areas, they’ve gone full Big Brother on this RTO bullshit, it’s insane

yep, have seen this, actually had to do it...goes to the earlier point that they have no real easy way of tracking compliance...this is what you get when you put a bean counter in charge of the company

Guess what, it’s been big brother for ages. They can track us via Microsoft activity reports. In person tracking is just another layer.

Nah just sucks to watch company culture disintegrate from being managed by some fat clod that only knows how to cut costs and not much else.

Oooh come back to our offices and waste your time and money commuting under this thinly veiled guise of cameraderie and collaboration when it’s clearly about taxes.

the culture really is eroding, been here about 10 years, over the course of the last 1-2 years the culture has become toxic in many areas

I've been here 1.5 years, was at a different big pharma before. The culture at Merck is so toxic. It's designed to have employees always competing with each other, very cut throat and dependent on playing the politics.

Lots of snowflakes on this board.

the whole company is made up of woke, snowflakes. You should see the whining on our sync page about how management doesn’t care about climate change just because they have to drive into work now. Give me a break, they are lucky we even get a hybrid schedule! All companies are now making their people return to the office.

Anyone whining about woke snowflakes is also a woke snowflake. It’s odd that you all struggle to see your similarities.
 






My issue is not specifically the 3 day RTO requirement, its that they forced this while pushing us all into open space environments. If you are in meetings a lot as many are, open space is a difficult environment to work in. You can't park yourself in a "call room" all day, so you end up taking some calls in noisy open space. Then if you work in RY or UG and don't get in at the butt crack of dawn, good luck finding a parking space that doesn't involve a 15-20 min walk to the office. ET doesn't care as they have private assigned parking space or a driver and then go to their their private offices.
