Having a conversation with my boss about remote working option. I’ve been working remotely for about 2.5 years and she recently mentioned that the company will be moving to a hybrid and I will need to be on campus. Any tips on how to approach this conversation? Has anybody asked for this before? I currently live in a different state than the company due to the remote work I’ve been doing. I have an offer at another company as well for leverage.

Is the other company allowing remote work? I wouldn’t dangle the offer since that may be a turnoff, but say that “I’ve noticed that other similar companies are offering fully remote roles. Is that a possibility here?”

Yes...the rationale is apparently that there are some trainings and projects coming up that are on campus but there is no reason they can’t be done remotely either.

I have no advice but came here to say my company is doing the same thing! It is absurd -- I'm in state X and the rest of the entire team is in states Y and Z. They literally want me to go into an office to sit and have Zoom meetings. Nutty.

You could also ask if the company could fly you out and put you up in a hotel for the training if it’s really important to them. My husband’s job is fully remote but they flew him out to meet the rest of the team.

Still WFH? What are other chambers doing for task management? Our chambers has been keeping up with assignments, incoming emails needing judge’s eyes, and written orders, all through Microsoft Planner. We share PDFs through Sharepoint folders. Although we still email draft orders back and forth, the system seems to work well enough. We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.
