Does Google really track the office visits or it’s up to manager? I have joined Google for a couple months and my manager says she doesn’t care.
Similar to most companies, managers might not care but it does get tracked and some higher level up the chain may care. On the fringe, it can always affect things from promos to layoffs.
tracked and impacts promos
Even if they don't care, you're giving them an excuse to prioritize you when it comes to layoff if you don't keep the rules. I wouldn't take such worthless risk.
100% tracked. Every quarter emails are sent out to your L8/L9 if you’re not coming in. And promos are blocked in the system in some orgs, if you have been flagged for not complying with RTO
Google tracks everyone
Google tracks what p*rn site you visit, RTO is obviously tracked
