I know companies that even pre-COVID had roles that were remote, including some executive level roles as well. I don’t think I buy this panic news one bit. Jamie Dimon and his ilk (that bald head from GS) are just control freaks, old school mentality types who want puppies to frolic around them all day long

If only we could treat people like individuals, with varying personal opinions and preferences, as opposed to homogeneous groups. In this context, why not let individuals decide where they want to work? Wouldn’t this approach maximize job satisfaction and productivity?

I think the majority of corporate jobs will be some hybrid model of sorts

like

I think it will be hybrid and then transition to full time once people become comfortable working in the office. I’ve enjoyed wfh at times and I get why people with kids enjoy wfh more but I think that junior employees should be in the office once it’s safe because wfh is pretty miserable when you don’t know anyone, can’t easily go to someone’s desk and ask questions or network/build camaraderie. Plus you sometimes just need to get out and interact with people and not be trapped in a tiny apartment

Ok. Well, in-office policies are not ideal for people with families or those with health issues. It forces people to commute, forces them to live in a certain geography away from extended family, forces them to sacrifice career options in order to accommodate a spouses career or kids school district, forces you to have a second car, forces you to miss games and school events due to lack of flexibility. Moms are forced to pump or quit breastfeeding early because it's unsustainable.
I don't think a bunch of parents being forced to come in, just for a group of analysts that have no trouble making a network, makes sense. Employees in their 20s have many friends, especially if they want to. You can always have offsite events a few times a year that's focused on connecting and keeping your workforce aligned.
We need to embrace the new way of working. Anyone who can't embrace flexibility and at minimum hybrid, if not fully remote first, is going to lose talent.
No 24 year old would rather sit next to a grumpy middle aged coworker in an office building, instead of being a digital nomad in Hawaii, who goes to DU twice a year to learn and connect.

Many folks In Deloitte feel in person interaction and more client facing will help our business grow. I have a feeling by the end of this year most will be back to the office at least 1/2 of the week if not more. In Gps we have already been with a lot of our clients. I think the firm will support a hybrid model but I think the pressures of missing out on in person conversations, access to leadership and promotion opportunities will pull even the ones who want to be at home, back to the office.

Does anyone feel they’re adding any sort of value while going to the office? I personally don’t. In my team there’s legit zero level interaction with each other, no informative talks, no growths conversation and few are so absurd that each day they just find ways to impress their snrs. man, come on😅

Leadership asks us to come 2-3 days in a week and if I have to work in the same way which I used to do from home then why don’t we keep doing WFH as long as your job is not suffering.

Dead Floor!

For those who already have a baby - I (36f) just had a baby 6 weeks ago, and my wife (33F) is now back at work (WFH) and I’m still on leave. Since I have the baby all day and get up with her all night, my wife basically “takes over” baby duty when she stops working. The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC
