Well that how you cause a strike
I’ve been looking for an excuse to cancel my AIB anyway
Wouldn’t it be funny if their offices were owned by a third party and that third party had used AIB for a loan to build/buy said offices.
Am sure it’s not but it would be funny if it was.
Now back to the office, corporate landlords need paid too.
Interesting to see how this plays out. I don’t believe employees have had much success at the WRC when it comes to working from home. Employers just point to your contract which usually have nothing about wfh.
I wish them the best of luck.
This is 100% a way now to try and reduce the work force. They just want people to quit
I don’t think they fully understand staff sentiment on this.
The push back to office – in tandem with a load of office condition downgrades – is very widely being interpreted as an effort to make them quit without offering redundancy. And even if it wasn’t, pulling people who’ve never even been to the Dublin offices before onto a six hour round trip three times a week just isn’t doable.
The upshot is that staff are coming to the conclusion they have *nothing to lose* by opting for industrial action, they are very openly and matter of factly talking about strikes. A good many of those people don’t actually expect to save WFH, their concern is making sure they don’t go quietly and get their due redundancy.

Honestly, I’d recommend just leaving aib as a customer at this point. Banking with Revolut and my Credit Union as a backup was the best banking decision I made.
I fully support the workers fighting back on this but why is this such a big deal in the news compared to when a shitload of other companies went RTO?
If they got rid of that poxy calculator for online banking could they all work from home? 😂
I’ll be moving my mortgage and closing my account now. Thank you very much.
I sometimes see non-remote workers delighted that remote workers have to turn up in an office now.
And these are the same folk who give out about the heavy traffic on their way to and from work.
If all working people supported each other in things like this, we’d all benefit in some way.
I don’t get how they can be this bad at handling this.
This is literally the first quote highlighted from the AIB careers page:Â
“Everything starts with you. So, wherever you come from, we welcome you. Whoever you are, whatever you dream of, we support you”
What a bunch of absolute cuntrags.Â

AIB is **mass** recruiting graduates right now.
I know because they came into my 4th year lecture the other day to advertise to us and they have like 10+ listings in Cork and about the same for graduates in Dublin.
Push medium-low earners out of the company with this policy and replace them with lower paid graduates? Is that really the master business strategy they’re going with?
How do you reduce your headcount without offering people severance? Make their lives in an employment environment so difficult that they walk. It’s a tactic as old as time.
Managers need people to manage to justify their job existing. It’s also an easy way of reducing staffing without paying for redundancy.
It is clearly as a few have said just a way of forcing some employees to quit as some of them clearly can’t return to the office full time.
That been said AIB are the exact type of corporates company who pretend to care about the environment and suitability and push green initiatives like getting of reusable coffee cups, reaching carbon neutrality etc.. But the one thing they could do to actually make a difference is to reduce cars on the road by letting people work from home.
Instead they’ll force someone to do a 5 hour roundtrip to appease some power tripping middle manager whose entire personality is their job. It just doesn’t make any sense, and I hope their employees take a stand.
In fairness I’ve heard productivity in there has decreased since they’re remote, according to my friend who works there
They’ll just replace the staff with contractors who will rotate in and out every few months. It was like that when I contracted in there.
I sat in some meetings that cost close to €10k in consultants from one of the big 4 and most of them didn’t contribute a single useful word.
This is a way to force a reduction in their workforce without paying redundancy. We are in a recession with job cuts in all but name. The strategy this time seems to be not filling positions when people leave and forcing people to quit because of untenable work conditions. This all means they don’t count as redundancies on paper.
Why do Irish people still support these banks. Crazy…
I just dont get the moaning if its not in your contract, I love WFH but my employer pays me , its completly and utterly there perogative if they want to take it away.
Hopefully they strike.
