2-3. That’s if the Delta variant doesn’t shut us down again.

It should be left up to teams, and then individuals with those teams. My team is editorial, and I think on the whole we’ve been even better 100% wfh than we were before. Same might not be the case for a photography studio.

Best I’ve heard is that we shouldn’t be asking “how many days should we be going back into the office,” but rather “how can we rethink the office so it’s a better tool for us to use?”

In short, it’s not about physical time in the office anymore, it’s about how to best use our team’s time.

“In-office work > remote work” has been proven to be not true. Time to adjust.

I get that we all want zero but realistically what do people think. I don’t think any of us signed up for 100% wfh.

Hoping the same. This job already eats most of my time and limits my enjoyment of life. I don’t want to also put on real clothes and drive to a place. I barely stayed in the office pre-covid.

Need advice. I’m panicking. Missed deadline to respond to the Complain, for a matter pending in the Eastern District of CA. The deadline was Friday (1/29). Today plaintiff granted an extension to respond the Complaint. I’m filing a stip tomorrow in the am. I’m worried because the stip is clearly filed after the original deadline. This is my first time missing a deadline. Talk me off a ledge.

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!

I'm reading up on Scott Galloway's take that "Boring is sexy." Basically, big sexy job titles and pursuits are highly competitive, so those who chase them earn less money and encounter greater obstacles. Boring ideas, jobs and industries have a much greater chance of earning you more money.
