Hi guys,
Need help,I am joining VMware Banglore on 27th June. During interview I told them I need wfh. They said it wil be wfh this entire year. Only mistake I did was i didn't permanent wfh. I took for granted like once I join i can opt for it ( as my VMware friends had said we can opt for it)
Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.
So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?

They’ll bring the old school partners out of retirement to fix all the mess. Ties every day. Everyone in the office 5 days a week. Cufflinks required.
Watch the generation after Gen Z rebel by becoming super hard workers 😂
It’ll take a generation or two but a hard working generation is coming - they’ll learn from Gen Z’s mistakes, see their consequences, and try to correct, making their own mistakes.
What? How’s it ever functioned? Do you genuinely believe there is much of a difference, gen z big4 will be the same as their predecessors and their predecessors before them. Alcoholic and miserable as its always been
Don’t understand your point. Even then by that time, a lot of partners are melennials.
😂 Characterizing people based on which accounting firm they work at.
If that can be a dividing point in our society, we don't deserve to have nice things
The same way it’s always functioned with various generations in the workplace? And to that point, why would there ever only be Gen Zers and partners? 😂

Most gen z won’t be picking accounting as a profession. Just take a look at social media, forums and how much attraction “accountants or big four” attract viewership. Big four will be mostly be offshore or poor immigrants when the time comes.
Nah some gen alpha kid will disrupt the entire auditing industry by then
The model will only change when entry level work becomes more complex. Until then there will always be a group of people willing to deal with BS for a couple years to get trained up and the rotating door will continue.
Entry level work isn’t necessarily handled by CPA eligible people.
Here is how I see the industry going long term: tech and offshoring will push the shit we don’t like doing to someone/something else. What is entry level now just won’t exist. The bar will be raised for people leaving school.
This shortage you speak of will drive rates for current CPAs up, which will attract more people into the profession, which will end the shortage.
The big issue will be who fills the need for lower rate clients that firms won’t have the capacity to handle in the mean time.
It’s not

There's enough gen z drinking the kool aid for that to not be a problem
