How do you deal with a new joiner who is persistent on getting access to wfh? After week two isn’t it too much?

Was it promised during recruitment stage? Maybe they were used to hybrid working and now you’re denying them if it? World has changed, it’s not an unreasonable ask even for a new joiner.

I would understand if he would have to meet with clients face to face to perform his job. But if it is because the company "wants to build meaningful relationships," I would disagree that he needs to be in the office. Companies that do not adapt will disappear because they will not attract top talent; if they do, the top talent will not work happily. Unfortunately, the decisions of WFH are managed by different generations than the upcoming ones.

Whoops, confused this with the confessions bowl, Ignore my comment.

What was their reason for requesting this? Perhaps they work more efficiently that way. It's not too ridiculous of a request as most of us have gotten used to working hybrid.

Do they have a good reason?

To avoid a hasty decision, try to evaluate the conditions within your company first as well as the role and position of the person making the request. Personally though, I think it's still too soon for such request.

Does your company allow that setup? Or maybe he has a hybrid role? May I know what's his/her reason for asking/requesting a wfh setup?

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I’ve been taking care of my extremely sick (literally on the verge of dying) dog. I work from home so it’s not too much of a nuisance but I feel distracted all day long and can hardly get anything done because I worry about my dog. I feel like I’d benefit from a day off or even half a day off but I’ve only been working for my firm for a month now, plus I have “discretionary time off.” Would it be okay for me to ask for a day off?

Hi Guys,
I have joined Ofss 1 week back and on second day itself I was allocated to project and onboarding WIP I received mail stating to report back to office 3 days per week under hybrid work model
policy.Is this compulsory my base location is 2600 km from my current location as I am joining the citi project its seems difficult for me to grasp things though I have only 1 yr of prior exp by I think my team is expecting a lot so moving to new city and learning at same time is not possible .

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
