Ideal for me is a predictable pattern of 2 weeks onsite 1 week remote.

Enough to get actual status. The worst are the long term, but “close” projects that make it impossible to get diamond, exec plat, etc.

Depends on location but either 2 weeks travel 1 week at home or a 3/1 split

I like 3 weeks on, 1 week off. I find that’s enough for me to keep my status’s, while still giving me some time to unwind.

I’ve also been on projects where we’ve traveled every week for 8 weeks straight

Doing Sun-Fri travel on current one and it is rough

I had to do this for 4 months. It was brutal. And had a couple flight delays so my weekends really end up being 1 full day at home

Meanwhile, I’ve never been on a project that’s offered this. Out of the last 52 weeks, I’ve traveled at least 46 of them, with the remaining mostly being off for vacation 😭

You can talk to leadership. Especially if you can do the work remotely. If not then it might be a hard sell

I'm a woman working in a male-dominated organization. I'm also the newest member of the team. My coworkers have been given approval to travel to see customers, even internationally, but my boss won't let me. I've been held back in more ways than just travel & have even had accounts taken away from me & given to my male coworkers.

I discussed this unequal treatment with my boss 10 days ago, then abruptly yesterday I took a call from HR telling me that I was being let go.
