Does anyone here feel like marketing isn't the kind of field for remote working? I think my best work happened before COVID, and before the Zoom and Slack era. I might be alone on this, but I kinda wish we could go back to how things were earlier.

Hybrid is best. You dont need every day in office but there is without a doubt a connection and energy that cannot be replaced IRL.

I know people love remote work, but being in person is just different. You can get so much more done, learn much quicker, and really be creative together. I have to agree

Disagree, but to each one’s own. I did my best work during COVID! I was also remote before everyone was so I was used to it. It was nice when everyone else was too lol

I had a lot of in-person jobs, but also did some remote side-gigs pre-covid, and so was used to the experience. I don't miss all the cold, stuffy atmospheres. Coworkers distracting or bugging me. Now, it's just my neighbors or someone at the cafe if I drop into one, and it's easy enough to leave either environment compared to an office.

There is almost nowhere to find reliable bonus information on Canadian firms. I’ve heard of year end bonuses ranging from 10-50% this year (not including Covid bonuses). Let’s start a thread posting year of call, rough billable hours worked and bonus as a percent of salary.

5 year call. 1850 hours. 10%.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

A friend of mine works with TCS as an Analyst, his base location is Bengaluru but he is been working from his hometown in Lucknow since the first COVID lockdown. Now he is being asked by his team to work from Ahmedabad, where his direct supervisor (manager) is working from. In this case, according to TCS talent policies, what is the procedure and the benefits that he can avail, as part of project initiated relocation? Also, how long it takes to get base location changed through HR in TCS?
