15 minutes away. Once every 3 weeks if I’m in the city.

2 miles. 4 times a year.

20 minutes (14-15 miles). Once a year, maybe not even that. I’m in a National practice and travelled every week, so I had no reason to go into the office.

1000 miles, never go in

70 miles, been there twice in three years.

4 hours away. Once on the day I was hired to get my computer and left before lunch.

Home office location?

15 minute walk. Went in each Friday.

5 mins walk. Almost never as I was traveling Mon-Fri.

About 1,000 miles. I haven’t been in since my interview.

5 minutes away, once a week.

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
