Its stealth redundancy pure and simple. I’m sure theres plenty of senior managers patting themselves on the back on all the savings this will result in.
Once all the pale male and stale boomer gammons die in the next couple of years remote working will be back
Turkeys surprised by Christmas.
What benefit does being in sat in an office in front of a computer bring over being sat at home in front of a computer doing the the exact same work, and who does it benefit?
Honestly the workers need to take some advice from John Oliver a few days ago.
“Fuck you, make me”
3 days? What’s the issue here?
With AIB & BOI already doing it, I wonder how long before PTSB announces there back to the office scam to force people to leave, not replace them and getting those sweet sweet profits up.
“Bank staff pretending they don’t know their employers are cunts”
Trying to get all the people who moved far and wide to work remotely out without paying them redundancy, I hope as many people as possible call their bluff
The government need to step in and make it illegal for companies to open offices here
“How can we make Dublin traffic even worse?”
The HR guy that delivered the announcement on the BoI town hall in July did it from his home office…the irony.
The unions missed a significant opportunity to galvanise support and grow their membership by not adopting a more assertive stance on the Return to Office (RTO) mandates. Had they taken a militant position and mobilised workers effectively they could have achieved so much more.
Not in banking but my department in work has been told we need to go back 5 days as well. I’m currently on maternity leave and now I’m dreading having to go back plus need to figure out child care for an extra two days for baby 😭 worst part is the majority of my team are in different countries so I’m going to spend hours in the office, away from my child, to be on zoom calls 😑😑
Love to get everyone back, better for productivity. Less places for the dossers to hide

I was on a train to Westport recently and was sitting beside a girl who worked for allied Irish and had moved her whole family down to Mayo from Dublin and she said that commuting back for wrok two days a week was killing her and if she had to go to three days she wouldn’t be able to afford to move back to Dublin and would definitely have to change her job. This is definitely forced redundancies.
Explains why traffic has been absolutely diabolical since the children came back.
More and more seats being filled in offices at the same time.
Pure coincidence I’m sure that AIB just finished a batch of outsourcing to India and signed a deal with Microsoft to bring in a large suite of AI. It’s pretty clear what’s happening and it highlights how unprotected workers are. Union are absolutely toothless
“Surprise motherfucker”
This whole RTO agenda is ridiculous. Clearly trying to force redundancies or trying to justify the extortionate rent they pay on stupidly big empty offices that they can’t get out of contract for.
It’s clearly BS.
If I am at home and an email comes in at half 5 I am going to open and reply to it. If I am in the office and an email comes in at half 5 I will be gone.
These banks have also made profit during the remote working time so they don’t have a leg to stand on in regards to productivity

Great to see people back to the office
Time people grew up
