Did your firms have a work from home policy in place before COVID? If so what was it called and any idea when was it implemented? For example Crowe had the Mobility Strategy in place in 2015, PwC had Flexibility^2 in 2016. Curious about the other firms, thanks!

I was at pwc before and worked from home all the time. I wasn’t on the official flexible work arrangement though. I think it was much less common to be on an official plan.

Well all of my work at ey has been from home because of the rona... I would expect the same. If there’s no reason for me to be in the office I don’t go. If your work is done, you show face at the client/partner meetings, and your staff are supported no one gives a shit where you are. But you have to do that for yourself. No one if going to tell you you should work from home and I never ask permission. Just be smart about it and do a good job most people won’t even notice where you are.

Kpmg has a new policy released in December called "work your day". Employees could choose one day of the week to work from wherever they wanted

Was it common for audit teams to work from home during slower times before that or this is just starting Dec 19?

I would say it was on a team by team basis but most likely not very common.

Interesting how firms differ, at Crowe it was very common to and my friend working at PwC reported the same. Thanks!

We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!

I actually don’t like super associate. Why do people live like this 24/7?!? 🤔
