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 ?
Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

It’s important to get what you want from the start. For many an extra day in office could be a deal breaker, for others it’s not a big deal. I would just say you would like to work remotely 3x per week. A lot of companies are forcing in office when some individuals were just coming in 1x, all of a sudden they have to go in 3 or 4 days. I’ve spoken to friends at various firms so do what is best for you!
My commute is 2-3h each way, 3-4x/week. You are considered lucky my friend.
Company mandate.
If you can do the job from home, then by all means ask. But 30 minute drive is a blessing these days, whereas some drive close to an hour or two (3 hours to get home in rush hour traffic-I know as I did just that).
It's okay to ask
