What’s the scoop on the upcoming Hybrid Attendance Adherence meetings for Florence?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/bank-of-america-ends-back-to-back-remote-days-for-hybrid-staff/ss-AA2a63P6?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=6a7f22320f7f47b794912555dfdf4ad7&ei=26

The revised hybrid work policy, including the ban on consecutive remote days and the three-day in-office requirement, will be implemented across all Bank of America offices in the United States. The bank has not disclosed the number of employees who will be affected by this change.

Since we follow the lead set by the big banks, is this next for us?

“Bank of America changes up work-from-home policy for all hybrid employees.

Bank of America is enforcing a new post-COVID policy where hybrid-eligible employees are no longer allowed to work remotely on back-to-back days, the Charlotte-based financial giant confirmed Wednesday.

This means Bank of America employees will still have flexibility with three days in the office and two days working from home, but remote days cannot fall on consecutive days, such as Thursday and Friday or Monday and Tuesday.“

If your role at Teradata got eliminated and you’re still convinced you were high-performing, the numbers kind of say otherwise. Companies don’t usually cut the people who are actually moving the needle on the stuff they care about most.

I’ve been a cloud engineer working on Vantage for a few years now, and honestly some of the best days I’ve had here were when we got a customer’s hybrid setup humming or watched an AI workload finally scale cleanly. The platform’s solid when you’re deep in it. That said, the company’s clearly doubling down on cloud ARR (up 8-9% last quarter, double-digit earlier, now about 45% of total ARR), expanding margins hard, raising EPS and free-cash-flow guidance, and putting real money into agentic AI, the Autonomous Knowledge Platform, hybrid setups, and AI Factory for the regulated crowd. Recurring revenue’s growing while they keep tightening the cost base and headcount.

The roles that weren’t tightly tied to that cloud + AI direction were the ones that got trimmed. It’s not personal drama or politics. It’s just the company showing, pretty clearly in the financials, what it values going forward.

If your role at Teradata was eliminated and you still insist you were ‘high performing,’ the numbers are laughing at you. Companies do not cut the people who are actually driving the growth they care about.
Cloud ARR keeps climbing (8–9% last quarter, double-digit earlier) and now makes up roughly 45% of total ARR. Margins are expanding sharply, EPS and free-cash-flow guidance just got raised, and the company is pouring resources into agentic AI, the Autonomous Knowledge Platform, hybrid deployments, and AI Factory for regulated customers. Recurring revenue is growing while they deliberately tighten the cost structure and headcount.
The roles that were not essential to that cloud-plus-AI, higher-margin direction were the ones that got removed. That is not bad luck or politics. That is the company showing you, in clear financial terms, exactly how little your contribution was worth to the future they are building.

I said it before and I will say it again. Not enough American buyers want an EV. Hybrid is something a lot of people are interested in. Common sense with hybrid - you get enough range for more day to day driving off Electric, but still have gas for longer trips. Didn’t anyone at Ford learn anything from the Lightening flop? I called it back in the day. This Ford Fathom is gonna be the same deal. Bad bad bad. Waste waste waste.

Who are these “Yes” people telling BF this nonsense of EV’s???

Fidelity has ended hybrid work. 75,000 employees now expected to be in the office 5 days per week

JPM, Goldman, BofA, Morgan Stanley, PNC and Trust have all moved to 5 day mandates in the past year.

Maybe this can put a 4-1 mandate into perspective.

What do you think about those dashboards that will be launched soon and how do you think they will be utilised by the business?

Will they induce layoffs based on attendance?

Any news on the hybrid policy and potential changes to it? I’ve heard rumors, but they swirl all the time. I feel like it was this time last year they made some significant changes.

With costs continuing to rise, all associates who weren’t lucky enough to be allowed to continue to work from home for one reason or another (seems like the rules change depending on who you are) are suffering.

As an associate who was hired to work from home, I am trying to wrap my mind around what the company is trying to accomplish. I do not see a whole lot of collaborating going on in the office - in fact most associates are sitting in cubicles on top of each other, all on different calls.

In *** Bratislava. This company is a joke and hates the American people.

"This position is hybrid, and you may be expected to go into Bratislava office 2+ days per week."

Has anyone got any clarity on this?
Like from FTS HR?

My contract states hybrid, but there's legal ease in there... I really can't go in full-time and would not have taken or applied for a full-time in-office role since it is not feasible for me. Worst case, I could ask my FTS and let folks on here know what I hear...

But FTS is most of the time beyond useless and just gives you a vagus runaround on things.

Ever coming or we hybrid now

They took away our precovid lives where we had fun going into the office we had colleagues to associate with and life was normal.
They forced us home locked us in and then wonder why we’re adverse to going in after we have proven we are extremely productive wfh. So they created this mammoth paradigm shift and get huffy when we push going back. Going into an office every week every day is so 1980’s the big corps started planning for pandemic scenarios they got what they wanted and forgot they had massive real estate holdings and empty offices.
No you don’t get to keep changing the rules. We’ve adapted and we like autonomy not slogging in with ridiculous traffic and gasoline at $5
This is the modern office HYBRID!

If you care at all lift the hybrid requirement right now. No one can afford gas. And the further the war goes on the more expensive it’s getting. Your people are struggling.

Today, Cara Sylvester shared that 150 TMs had their remote roles changed to Minneapolis-based hybrid. Impacted TMs seem to be concentrated in core IM and planning, as well as some PIM Ops TMs as well. They stated that they are providing relocation assistance or separation packages.

If you wanted less work done in the office, more communicating/chit chat/wasting time. That's what you'll get. Add on the added costs for employees, pets who will now be unattended after spending 6 years with their owners at home...I'm sure that will go great for everyone!

Can't wait for this to backfire like every other decision leadership seems to make lately.

We're #2! We're #2! We're #2!

Watching the replay … Based on what I gathered from Alfonso, It is up to me which model I follow - Hybrid, In Office, WFH. “ think as adults, its a personal choice”

New global Hybrid and Remote Working Policy took effect from 6 March. Can someone please confirm how attendance is being monitored eg how long the monitoring window is and what data is used.

Hey Mike…. With regular gas prices over $4 a gallon, how about some relief? Maybe a cost of living raise or the ability to work from home until things normalize again, at least hybrid

Anyone hear anything about returning to office? I hear rumors we are going to be mandated to become hybrid from fully remote work.

Looks like all hybrid workers are going back into the office quarter by quarter. Next will be telecommuters.

Are the consulting roles at PwC’s Atlanta office hybrid, fully remote, or strictly in-office? If hybrid, how many days in office is required?

Do you all come in five days a week? No hybrid at all?

NY JC Plano Columbus tech teams still hybrid 3 days.

How many CATA's have we had between 2015-2020 VS. 2020-2025????

CATA's have doubled since Covid and the hybrid schedule! Wake up!!!!!

Get everyone back to the office or weed out the lazy complacent ones that don't put forth the effort from home! It's not rocket science. I know the mandatory 4 days is coming but it needs to happen now! Stop worrying about feelings and daycare! That's half the problem. Some work from home and save on daycare but spending more time dealing with kids than working. VZW has this data already and they know as do the shareholders.

I know they exist. I see the people in webphone. So, why are they the exception? I see job posting with “5 days in-office”, but clearly, that’s not always the case. Applying internally, are all the jobs genuinely gonna be 5 days in office still?

There are so many opportunities I would love to see through, but I am not gonna commit to another job with 5-day mandatory office. I can’t do it anymore.

How can this position be labeled hybrid if we’re required to be in the office five days a week? Isn’t that misleading and discriminatory? I’m really frustrated that this exists in our company.

Last week’s snow related remote work has shown what flexibility actually delivers. Without long commutes and constant office disruption, productivity increases, work gets completed faster, and people are willing to put in more time because they have the capacity to do so. That does not happen under a rigid five day office mandate.

Five days in the office adds cost and friction without measurable gains. Real collaboration can happen in two to three days when needed, which is already the market standard. For distributed teams, forced presence changes nothing except morale.

Talent has already responded. High performers with options have left. Those who remain are disengaging. The employee survey made this clear.

As a communications company, forcing presence while selling “work from anywhere” is a strategic contradiction. Remote work for office roles is inevitable. The only question is whether we lead or fall behind.

Does a reporting dashboard going up mean that 3 days hybrid is here to stay?

Does anyone know how many days per month those who are below Director level are meant to be in office? I’ve heard 4 and I’ve heard 3 days per month. Also any insight on hour requirements per visit? Thank you.

Remote workers, sorry, you saw a real impact. As for all the doomsayers saying no more work from home or hybrid, you were WRONG! Always bringing this up during layoffs cause you are too worried about where someone is doing their job. foh!

In my team, some people ignored the whole hybrid thing and come to office once a month, why should I come in 5 days a week

Note : nothing happened to that person, they are still working away

.. the Telekom/TMobile is 11th and Verizon is 16th... How come TMobile is better than ATT at the US soil? Well for example they still offer hybrid working policy.

No more hybrid schedules. More employees will be assigned to offices as well. 100 percent office requirement. Move or resign. A sneaky way to cut the workforce without having to pay severance.

Wow. Xpeng, Buick, BYD are releasing the latest EREV with over 1000 mile range hybrid SUV. Why can't the Big 3 produce something like this? Bring them to the US please. I will buy a few of these awesome EREV for sure.

Typo fixed.

Manila, Argentina, engine don’t have RTO: they are still hybrid. Why?
What’s the point in the US to have a free for all “find a place” seating?
New spaces are GREAT if you do not care about any ergonomics whatsoever.
When are 1500 office workers moving to 1400 so they can spend $100k+ building floors with glass and non adjustable chairs?

When are the packages coming again?
Makes me so sad - you?
