[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have friends in financial services, and they're supposed to be back five days per week. In practice, however, they tell me that no one is actually coming in five days per week.[/quote]

Im an auditor at a firm with a 3 day RTO mandate but in reality, it’s up to the Managers to decide how many days per week our teams go in. I know some teams had to be in Monday - Saturday while others worked fully remote.

Hybrid/Remote work isn’t going anywhere - Fidelity just wants some increased voluntary attrition. [/quote]

This. It’s just to move the goal post, make life harder for those who commute an hour each way and get them to throw up their hands and quit.  My employer allows hybrid but fully scrapped remote work so they lost a few people who could afford to go. I think our leadership really has no idea how to lead and implement great ideas and innovate so they focus on managing bullshit like work location because it’s easy, low hanging fruit. For the staff, reporting onsite is purely performative. As a result, a bunch of us who need to hang on for at least a few more years are wasting time in traffic to report to hoteling stations (very few have their own desk/offices they decorate with personal items), and put on headphones to join calls. At lunchtime, we head to the break room to fetch yogurt or heat up leftovers and take everything back to our desks. No one has the time/money/interest in going out to lunch to collaborate super awesome projects. [/quote]

Sounds very familiar. [/quote]
