Have a what do I do scenario. I am over at publicis as a remote employee and just found out that they are starting to push people to hybrid. The only problem is that I live in Raleigh where there are no publicis offices to my knowledge. They claim I am safe because my contract is listed as remote, but I just feel that in time that is too good to be true. Im nervous about making a switch mid pregnancy though and I do love where I work. So what would you do?

Who is “they”? I would try to get clarification from a source within HR if you haven’t talked to them. You didn’t mention how far along your pregnancy is now, but keep in mind the typical hiring process takes 3-4 months from application to start date, so if you did try to get a new job now you’d be WAY more pregnant when starting. Unless you have other reasons to believe your role will be eliminated before you go on parental leave, I’d try to hang tight until then and maybe start looking depending how the climate feels when you come back.

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.

I need to hear other peoples’ opinions/experiences! Do you actually work the full 40 hours a week? A lot of the time I finish my work before the end of the day and I’m not doing much for the remainder. This is part of the reason I would rather work from home. I get frustrated that I finish all my work but have to stay until I hit 8 hours just to check the box when I would rather be cleaning or doing my personal tasks. I feel like productivity should be measured instead of just time:(

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Hello All,

Have a few questions regarding IBM Joining, HR response is strangely lacking and so does in the slack(prejoin channels). Hoping can be cleared here..
a) I've been told virtual onboarding is no longer a thing.
How many days does in-person onboarding activities occur?
b) HR Informed,"After onboarding is complete, can get perm WFH based on project or extension of WFH as IBM is flexible"
Is this true? Can managers extend/grant remote for a month then let us transit to remote model?
