So just throwing this out there. Can agencies give us WFH bonuses to cover the cost of setting up a home office? I had to invest quite a hefty sum for a desk, office chair and upgrade my wifi connection. Also, can we deduct our work space rent area for tax purposes? Every little bit helps!

How do I reset my expectations and ensure I work harder? I was expecting a promotion to manager this year (3 years as a SC, post MBA) because I’ve led an engagement, sold some work in previous fiscal years, had high utilization, and have made an impact internally within my practice and home office. I didn’t get the promotion to manager and I want to make sure I don’t have expectations that things will get handed to me in the future.
