Pros/ cons of working remote

Anyone shorting slack?

Since WFH started, we’ve had meetings every morning for an hour for a “team update”. We have to go around and tell our managers what we are doing for the day. Are we the only one?😑 they seem so pointless

I requested standing desk(with a Doctor's note), but was declined by HR and Office services, told it does not fit with their Hoteling policy. Anybody else went through this and can share thoughts.

Anyone have any good recommendations for an in-home office chair. Not really looking to break the bank.

The Skype for Business “ping” sound gives me anxiety.

Quarantine emotional-outreach update: at the end of most zoom/teams/webex calls— when Ive been seeing peoples faces and smiling and having a nice enough time—I have to fight the urge to say “I miss you” or even “I love you” as Im signing off. (Not clients, just work people, but that’s bad enough)

I am so illiterate in this, so any help is appreciated. I am finally giving in and “building” a home office space in my apartment. Any recommendations for a monitor within $200? I don’t even know what to look for as its features haha🥺 In addition, I am planning to buy a Flexispot standing desk - any reviews, or better ones?

Is anyone’s company offering to pay portion of your rent as home office expense? Especially if company is no longer paying for commercial office space?

Any project managers out there looking for a 3 month gig with potential for full time remote?

If I’m essentially on the bench and I’ve taken the training that’s been assigned to me is it OK to take on a side gig now? I have an opportunity to do some work from home for an IT project.

I really hope that tech companies after Covid remain mostly WFH. As a Bay Area native I would love for most of these techies to leave (not because I don’t like them but because I really want to one day own a house where I grew up and that’s almost impossible right now).

WFH has been a real eye opener. I want to quit the industry and become an actor. Dumb move?

To make WFH more exciting, there should be a "I'm feeling lucky button" when sending emails.

Shouldn’t we all work from home? Coronavirus hits NYC! I also don’t want to travel for production. What should we do??

Intensely fighting with husband and since my project is remote decided to pack my suitcase for a few weeks and split my time staying with friends in Miami / LA. Need some space. (Cont)

Plan to go to B-school in 3 years (1 year out of UG now). Long term goal is entrepreneurship. Have offers at a MBB firm for a generalist consultant role and at FAANG for a strategy role. FAANG offer is slightly higher (though both are a 50+% bump on my current comp). Both would have me reset to entry level. Which one should I take?

You’re young and unemployed. A friend set up a meeting with a big shot at a good agency, who’s not hiring. What’s your attitude and what what questions do you ask?

If you have been seeing a sr manager or partner flying first class on the same route and he seems to be from MBB, how can I introduce myself tactfully?

Why is it ok to have an aggressive competitive culture as a norm vs real team work? Sometimes I wonder if all the fights and hide and seeks are all worth it
