I prefer working from home and thankfully can.
I live and work in California and recently found out through a KPBS podcast the state is planning to reduce the car traffic by 20% by 2030 - I think I have that correct. The state really wants us off the roads. Gas prices and taxes seem to support that. Anyway I don’t see or hear about companies complying with that concept by encouraging remote work. And I don’t read about others using that as a reason to not return to office. ??

Hi y'all! How flexible is your remote workplace is when it comes to where you live and how frequently you move? Do they expect you to stay in your city/province/state, or do they allow you to go full digital nomad? Do you wish your employer's policy would change?

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.

Additional Posts in Return to the Office

Email from leadership last week. We can go back as soon as 7/5 with permission. Had to let our boss know. Phase 1 will begin in July and go through end of Sept, provided schools are re opened. Future phases will be announced at a later date. So, I guess at this point in time, things are still up in the air.
