Are we losing work from home/hybrid/telework?

My lease in Chicago is up in July - I’ve been staying out of the city with family through covid. Do we think things will be back to normal by then? Not sure if I should just move out until WFH is over

Has anyone butted heads with an office manager their age? We have a new one who seems to be trying to control my schedule during Covid (ie she assigns me office days without asking me, if I leave the office early or don’t come in one day due to video calls she emails me and tells me I need to inform her of my whereabouts), when that has never been part of her job duties before. Partners don’t care that I WFH.

Tentative plan is September with flexibility after. Haven’t disclosed how many days will be wfh/in office. Location is NYC

Deloitte is remote until at least Sept 6, you can only access offices earlier with express permission. Some limited travel is occurring to client site prior to then.

Can anyone please help in compiling list of companies that are giving permanent wfh.

TIA

Are any of the firms hiring for part time/primarily remote tax professionals? Is anyone aware of industry positions like this?

Hello,

Anyone that is WFH but rents a small office space to work from?

I don't want to have to go to an office with coworkers, but I do feel like I'd be more productive getting out of home office a couple of days per week.

Hi y'all! How flexible is your remote workplace is when it comes to where you live and how frequently you move? Do they expect you to stay in your city/province/state, or do they allow you to go full digital nomad? Do you wish your employer's policy would change?

2) my new company will be in bangalore, can i still ask for relocation amount considering in Deloitte it was wfh?

I have recently received an offer from HSBC for Data Engineer profile. The designation offered is Senior Analyst- Information Management. They said that it is a techno functional role.

Will this role be suitable for me?

Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you.

I was recently approached by a recruiter about a position as a litigation attorney at the DOJ. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any more specific information other than what I would be doing is “generally commercial litigation.” Can anyone share insights on what this may entail?

I’m 29, no kids, and no real responsibilities outside my student loans. (Continued below)…
