> San Francisco-based Wells Fargo started requiring employees to return to the office under a “hybrid flexible model” in early 2022. The bank now expects most staffers to be in the office at least three days a week, while members of management committee are in four days and many employees, such as branch workers, are in five days.
How is this a "flexible model"? This kind of newspeak is depressing.
- Rinzler89 2y agoIt's flexible for them, not for you. It's the same in Austria.
- JackFr 2y agoWork from home any two days, and come in the other three days? That is both hybrid and flexible. You may find it depressing but it's not 'newspeak'.
- benterix 2y agoI'd be inclined it's more of newspeak as the more usual of flexibility involves choice and in this case you are required to sit in their building for at least 3 days. You might argue the flexibility lies in the fact that you don't have to do it for 5 days, but they should use another term for that - just hybrid would be enough.
- Dylan16807 2y agoIf you get to choose which days, then that's the flexible part. Hybrid by itself would not necessarily let you choose. If you could stay home the entire week, then it wouldn't be hybrid flexible, it would just be flexible. So I don't see the issue.
- benterix 2y agoRight, I see your point, it makes sense.
- benterix 2y agoTo be honest, they put this phrase in quotes.
