You absolutely can refuse and your team and firm should support you.

Lol Wut. Who in their right mind is requesting people on site that’s gross negligence not only for employees but for an entire country trying to get over the pandemic that’s at its worst point to date.

It depends on what you specifically do. My work now and when I was a consultant requres that I am on site in the operation on a regular basis.

You absolutely should be able to decline but if the client is asking for on-site then you may be asked to roll off.

What office are you out of and where’s the client?

I think now, yes - post reasonable vaccine availability, no.

Define requires to be on-site

Also worth noting: it’s beyond my typical scope of knowledge since it’s a full marketing strategy vs just my current specialty. Thoughts?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

SAFe SPC certified. 5 years of agile project, program management and release train engineer experience. Anyone looking to hire? Not a fan of PwC. Leaders in my area are frustratingly uninspiring.
