My firm is considering opening my small office 5/18 to those who do not want to WFH (county has lifted Stay At Home orders). My partners sound like they’ll be going in but safely and flexibly (masks/gloves; half days; no Fridays). The firm/my partners have been very respectful of those who want to WFH. I’m a lateral hire (~1 year), only junior associate in the office. No medical issues or kids at home but like WFH. Hours were good last month, but slower this month so far. When do I go back?

Took a new job only because I was laid off and desperate to find something, but it’s definitely not what I’m looking to do. Would it look bad if I left early (been about a month)? Should I include my current job on my resume or mention it if I interview?

Normally phased engagements are fine and easy enough to deal with mentally (6-8 set weeks at a time) but it’s been “okay the project is ending... JK 1-2 more weeks!” x 3 times in the last 5 weeks with no end in sight and I’m losing my damn mind.
