    My recommendation is that as soon as your company says they are going public, find a different job. The day your company goes public, things will only get worse. I can only think of one thing that is better since the company has went public and that's the day care. I'm guessing the day care also...

    I worked with some people who worked 2 days in the office pre-covid and are now 3 days. There are some areas of the company requiring 5 days a week. If you are 31 miles away though, you are golden.

    Oddly enough, Principal doesn't seem to be worried about collaboration of the 1000+ people they've recently hired in Manila to staff their call centers. Weird how that works.

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    They just took a poll at Principal, where 5,000+ voted on 9 questions. Some of those 5000 have to come into the office, some don't. Most of the same questions were asked in April and the results are stunningly bad this time around. I can't get into the details but embarrassingly bad. On a side...

    Maybe they'll move to the Principal model of just getting rid of the employee opinion survey.

    Well sexual harassment is the last thing I worry about at Principal IT. Most of our staff get anxiety from running into a co-worker in the skywalk. Eye contact is considered 3rd base to most of these butterfly's.

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    It kind of reminds me of the place in Des Moines that always portrayed itself as fun place to work. "We have a free keg on Friday night" "We order in free pizza". Listen *****, I have no urge to be working at 7pm on a Friday night for free Michelob Ultra. I think this may have been Business...

    Correct. I'm not going to lie to not have to come back in the office. From what I've seen, VERY few are getting exceptions. To get an exception, it has to be approved by senior management.

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    Today was the first day that Principal's CEO took questions from employees. Said the decision had zero to do with real estate. Two IT nerds ,who looked to be about 2 seconds away from shitting themselves, complained about how they were hired as remote and it wasn't fair that they were being...

    Every one has had the ability to go in whenever they want. The problem was the people did it, didn't prefer it, and returned to WFH.

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    There are multiple things in play here. A lot of these people were hired as "Remote only". No where did it say "Remote only if you live 30.1 miles from 711 High st." For multiple years, Principal preached how open they were to WFH. For example, they made a huge shift in hiring IT staff from...

    Just to give an example.... "My team and leader are scattered across the country. I'm the only one that lives in the Des Moines metro. So in November, I'll be expected to drive into the office to collaborate by myself with my teammates via Teams working from home"

    It's addressed in the FAQ. The email was sent today, those openings were posted prior to today. Don't believe me I don't care, I'm just telling you what I know from someone that has worked there for 20 ******* years. If you live within 30 miles of Des Moines you are ******* working in the office...

    Trust me, I got the email from the CEO. Those are old job descriptions. If you work with 30 miles of Des Moines or Charlotte, you will be working in the new hybrid model, which is a minimum of 3 days in the office per week.
