Has anyone ever had a situation where they've had to work remotely from the hospital? We keep getting admitted, and I'm out of FMLA.
Does your manager have a policy in place for remote work for extenuating circumstances like this?

I worked while my dad was in ICU. They nurses me stay all day with him since he was calmer. I was working while he mostly slept. I went to the lobby for a call and my client heard a code called and asked where I was. Long story short, they were furious at the partner who had me on the call. Client had the call postponed.

Yes - I had two children with special needs. At one point, one was at 4th floor and the other was on the 6th floor, at the same hospital. I was a single parent then. You do what you need to do. Thankfully, my boss was very compassionate about my situation. I couldn't afford FMLA.

We don’t. I wfm and as long as I’m working it doesn’t matter from where - how would they know?

I think it depends on what your job is and how inclined the good ol boy club is in that area lol … but it’s hectic with low merit increases and unstable work conditions most of the time (layoffs happen a lot )

Sorry to hear that! Usually my manager lets me work remotely at any time if needed, I’m very grateful for that

That’s such a tough spot to be in. When life is that heavy, flexibility shouldn’t feel like a favor. I hope your manager can meet you with some humanity here. No one should have to choose between health and keeping their job steady.

I always get told to network and make those connections. But if you're naturally a more quiet person how do you do this? Message managers or directors on LinkedIn? shoot them a email?

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea.

Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
