Has your company announced when you’ll be going into the office? It’s strange to me that no one has announced if perm wfh would be a possibility. Feel like I’m in a state of limbo and want to be able to plan to move somewhere else if that’s a possibility.

My industry (law) has given no indication of when we’ll be returning, but the general consensus seems to be well into 2021 at this point. But they’ll want us back in person, no doubt about that. Just a question of when.

Same. But that was moved from Jan 1 and I have a feeling this will push again. April 1 might be a voluntary or very limited capacity return for my firm imo.

I think the vast majority of companies are planning for return to the office. They just don't know when. And instead of giving a new moving date every month, they're waiting on more concrete info. I'm sure if there was any big news around vaccine, treatment, lease agreements, etc you'd hear more concrete date ranges.

For planning purposes my firm did provide 2 pretty far out dates so that we could plan for a few months at a time.

I never stopped going. 😩
My husband’s firm announced they’d be going back in October, but he still hasn’t gone so I assume they are just letting people choose. I know some of his coworkers were going in for months though.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?

I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?

Just was notified that all work from home privileges are being removed. The reasoning? Because executive office wants to.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?
