How do I go about asking if I could have a hybrid schedule? We have a paralegal that’s work from home full time and she lives in a different state since January. All attorneys get to wfh at least one day a week. The new legal assistant that’s starts Monday is going to have a hybrid schedule. I feel like they need to make it an option for everyone. My review isn’t until July and I wanted to bring it up before then. How should I ask?

Just have to ask. Let them know you have noticed that they are open to this type of flexibility and you were interested in transitioning to a hybrid role. And is also not unheard of to talk about (if applicable) the commute and increased gas prices and expenses— hybrid roles help save on gas, wear and tear on your vehicle and allow you more time to be focused on work and not the distractions that come with a commute. And also more work life balance helps with productivity
