"Badge Reports" are just stealth layoffs. Change my mind.

My bank just announced a hard 5-day in-office mandate with weekly 'badge reports' sent to Group Heads. We all know deal flow is still choppy. This feels like a blatant strategy to cut headcount 'for cause' (non-compliance) without paying severance packages. Is anyone else’s shop doing this, or is mine just broke?
