Have your agencies started discussions about back to office plans post pandemic? Curious what others are planning against in terms of WFH flexibility.

Weber just announced when we go back it will be 3 days in/2 days wfh. TBD ok when we go back, though.

I’m at a small agency and we’re probably gonna do 2 days in, 3 days wfh!

Same for us, they haven’t really listed our requirements yet for hours but they’re so flexible with us generally that it’ll probably end up shaking out to be similar to your setup. I definitely agree, idk about you but I’ve had a crazy number of inbounds from recruiters/other agencies this past year and I’m tempted but wary of giving up the flexibility and relatively higher degree of autonomy I get here.

Anyone doing a situation like a week in the office per month?

Anyone else having WFH fatigue? I had been traveling weekly for business the last 20+ years, but the last 3 months at home has been personally challenging. I love my wife and 3 boys — but I need some “alone time” which I used to have when traveling. Sometimes I get in my car and go for a drive but it’s not enough. Seems like this WFH is the new working model for the future. Anyone else feel this way?

Q for HR folks! For companies who have offices in US and Canada, how easy would it be for American HR team to set up a role & compensation via the Canadian office for a Canadian remote worker? Would be a lot of work? But i know companies like Meta and Spotify do do this.

I'm Canadian and applied to a US remote role. Canadians don't need a visa for this. One of the ways would be to use Canadian entity's hr/payroll services. They showed keen interested but waned since finding out I'm Canadian.

Does anybody find it helps to “get ready” in the mornings with wfh? I still want to be comfortable with athleisure, but I’m wondering if fixing my hair and maybe a little makeup will make a difference mentally. Feeling so burnt out and unmotivated lately.
