How long are we staying in the office, if there is a badge-out system?
Is there a “minimum number of hours required”?
Does anyone know the “rules”?

@b1 And HR has not flagged this?
@OP I think it has been well established that there is NO standard - it is up to your manager or director who likely doesn't have to go in themselves but will either give you a pass or ride you hard and put you away wet.
The policy is called "favortism"
@ee I could be mistaken but pretty certain each work computer is setup to use dynamic ip addresses, not static ip addresses. So, not really sure what you are saying is true. I mean, you might think it is because someone told you that but it may not really be true.
At a minimum, log into your computer - don’t just use the bathroom and go. They’re not actively monitoring IP addresses and whatnot today but IT has that data; they can tell when and where you log into your work computer.
I’ve heard that this information was used in a dispute over an associate’s compliance in the hybrid policy. Managers don’t have access to that information at their fingertips but in situations where it comes into question / attendance becomes a problem, the data can be requested.
@b5 May be you can do that for me.
You can shave that down to 45 seconds if you "forget" to flush
I bage in. Use the bathroom. I badge out. As simple as that. 1 minute.
This very question was asked just a couple of weeks ago. Were those responses not acceptable?
@ab This is the person you were asking if I was being sarcastic. Maybe my message did not come iff clearly but I was in total agreement with you about the favoritism going on and that it should be denounced.
@ab I was denouncing favoritism. And I was agreeing with the other person who I am certain was denouncing favoritism in a sarcastic sort of way.
Not sure if somehow you are suggesting but I assure you that I personally have never been the recipient of favoritism from a human leader. I have had expressed appreciation for good work, which with humility was deserving of such. But never have I received favoritism nor have I granted such when I have lead people. But I have sure seen a lot of bad leaders that have shown favoritism to employees.
And to your point of folks speaking up on calls, some leaders might call that as someone being a disrupter, usually because they feel threatened when ideas or “the control” of the meeting is not completely with them. While other good leaders welcome, respect, and even cherish good ideas that maybe they did not think of themselves.
@a7 Wait, are you being sarcastic now? Different rules do apply to certain associates. One associate can bully coworkers, constantly interrupt and talk over people in meetings and do whatever they want with no consequences and continue to get promoted, while anyone who calls out the bad behavior gets riffed. This place runs on favoritism.
@a2 Love the sarcasm as to the hypocrisy and injustice and very bad leadership in not treating associates without any hint of favoritism.
Had to say it because in this day and age leaders or HR could have thought your comment was meant seriously as though somehow anyone could think that having customized treatments for different associates is acceptable.
The right thing changes from mood to mood.
I stay for 2 hours. I’ve seen people leave after 1.
Depends on your manager. Isn’t it awesome having different rules for different associates?
