Has anyone move out of their assigned office location (from Lake Mary, Gilbert or Menchaniscburg to another state)? How do you approach it?

95% of people who support my project are from core, so leadership is fine with me moving. How should I get firm approval?

Hired into USDC, and never been to a USDC office

I was hired into USDC Mech and have never been within 50 miles of the office in my life and I have been with D for 3 years. No problems ever. I work out of Rosslyn if I have to be in office, which has been 3 times in 3 years. Don’t sweat it.

I have been with USDC for 1.5 year. Never been to an office EVER and I haven’t been invited either. Also, 95% of my project is from Core. I’ve been poached about making the switch but I hear that the firm doesn’t make it easy. As far as approval, you need PMD support and justification.

In the current model, realize it's a risk. Your hire agreement likely had some language about being a commutable distance from a delivery center.

Many of us recognize that we likely won't go back to the old ways of working, in office every day, but realize that not having the option to could be a risk if, in an attempt to differentiate from Core, we're asked to come in 1-2 days and/or recognize it likely will be harder to get promoted to higher levels (M+) without followership/visibility in office.

TL;DR: be prepared to have to find a new job if/when D changes things.

I think this is a really dated way of thinking. If anything they’d let USDC stay remote to justify the lower wages than core, which is why we’re actively piloting the virtual model right now. Some practitioners have been hired to be solely virtual.

While your agreement may have said be a commutable distance it’s also said you’ll have 8 week to move to that location IF returning to office becomes mandatory. Meaning if it doesn’t, live wherever you want. HC leaders have time and time again said they don’t expect that to happen. I’m in OT too and know multiple people who have moved away from their set office location.

You can build a network and get visibility without going to an office.
