My company started the return to office process recently, with 50% of the office alternating two days a week in. When I went in today my boss mentioned that HR is tracking who is coming in. he didn’t mention how, but I don’t doubt there’s a way.
He didn’t bring it up like a scare tactic, though, and he mentioned they may be reconsidering the RTO strategy. When I’ve been in, there’s less than 25% (at most) of who should be in.
I‘m trying to make sense of the tracking and the purpose. I guess its possibly positive, they have to see most people aren’t coming in so maybe they let us decide about coming in instead of forcing. Of course, it could be they use it to get more strict with the policy.
Either way, it’s weird to know they’re tracking who is where. Just figured I’d share my experience, I thought this sub might be interested. And be aware that the HR monster is always watching you lol
