Guys
I joined this organisation recently
Doing WFO three days is becoming tedious.
My team is scattered across India no ODC nothing
What are consequences if I do 2days WFO ?
I am okay with that leaves cut , I just don't want scolding from my reporting manager
Can anyone guide me based on your experience on how you handled it here ?

From when these HRs started occupying fish bowl and giving pathetic ChatGPT answers?
Let’s be clear — there is no concept of partial compliance. Whether you skip the office for the entire required week or miss even one mandated day, the leave deduction impact is the same. One non-compliant week in a month may not immediately trigger consequences, but the real question is: how long will the system or leadership remain silent before it reflects somewhere every month? No one truly has visibility into that consequences
Now coming to the bigger concern — why does going to the office feel so tedious? It’s not just you. Many people in the organization feel the same way, especially when teams are scattered across different cities and someone ends up being the only team member sitting in a particular location.
But we need clarity on the root cause. If the exhaustion comes from long daily travel, then that’s largely a personal logistics challenge.
If the residence choice increases commute time, the organization cannot entirely absorb that impact.
If the frustration is about going to the office without teammates present, then yes, that’s a structural inefficiency — but at scale, organizations cannot create different rules for individuals based on team distribution. Policies are built for uniformity, not situational exceptions.
It’s also true that most people who come to the office today rush in, log their hours, and leave without much interaction. The idea of vibrant in-office collaboration doesn’t always match the day-to-day reality. Yet many employees are still attending because they were accustomed to office culture long before the pandemic. We, on the other hand, became comfortable with remote flexibility, and the transition back feels disruptive.
Thanks for HRBP
