Has your firm’s WFH policy been extended?

Deloitte has extended mandatory WFH till Jan. Curious if that’s the case for any other professional service firms like MBB , Big Four, other major consulting & accounting/advisory firms

From a practical perspective, RSM is indefinite until further notice. But some offices will start giving folks the option to return on a limited basis after labor day.

In IT/finance advisory, we’ve extended from what was originally September to Jan 1st as well.

CLA allows work in office with precautions, but also allows unlimited WFH with no pressure to go to the office. They've said that we can't even discuss getting back to normal until sometime in 2021, and even then, normal post-Covid will not be the same as normal pre-Covid.

Currently looking for production planning role remote or hybrid.will be moving to Fort Worth Texas next spring!

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

Novartis is providing permanent WFH, is this true?

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?

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine.

Its a political minefield.
