Does anyone work a compressed/ 4 day schedule? Any tips on making it work? Are there things you didn’t expect that you wish you had known about? How did you set boundaries?

Guess the answer is a no...

Set boundaries early on and stick with it. If not, you will be working all 5 days and not getting paid for the extra time. I would also get a formal flex plan signed off. It’s helped me

Thanks BDO1!

There’s a debit card that I’ve been using for the past 4 years and it beats out some of the cash back credit cards. It’s the Cash app debit card.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring?

Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
