Any top 100 firms out there requiring staff to come back to the office for 4+ days per week? Trying to gauge how common this actually is.

Not us. We are 1-2 days depending on the office.

2-3 days depending on group

My firms messaging is to be predominantly in office (aka 4 days a week) and staff aren’t coming in that much but managers and above are. I am a senior tax manager and go in the office 5 days a week (have been since July 2020) and even on some Saturdays.

lol who said I was proud of that. I can’t work from home so I chose to go to the office so that I can get my work done.

I work at a smaller (~100 people) local office of a top 15 firm where we’re all in the office 4-5 days per week. National policy is 3 days, but strong majority of people at my office have gravitated towards 4-5.

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
