My job was presented to me as a WFH 90% position with the ability to come in to the office whenever I felt like it. Since the office is a 10 minute walk from my house, I come in once or twice a week when I feel like it. Everybody in the org is the same way. We don't have a dedicated cubicle or anything, we have to reserve one online and hope to get next to our friends. Most of our group lives 30-90 minutes away from the office, so they only come in once a month for our mandatory meeting. We get paid less than our counterparts because of this and we all know it.

We find out today that everyone in HR (across the US) has to come in at least 50% now. No one knows what that means- 50% of the year, or the month, or the week, or by hours.. they haven't thought that through yet. ^o)
People are freaking the eff out now. There are some that don't even have cars (rent it once a month) and are now going to have to look at buying cars. Lots near the office cost $10/day, about $200 for monthly pass.

This really doesn't affect me except when I travel and work from those locations, but most of my co-workers are flipping out (understandably). Wouldn't this be considered a benefit? People are talking about quitting, some plan to ignore it to see what happens, etc.

We also just don't have the space. We barely fit on mandatory days and some of the other teams don't come in that day.
