I don’t trust cheese that doesn’t melt
posting my doggie to unlock my DMs, ☺️

My base loc is Bengaluru, but currently I am not mandatorily required to work from office, and have been working from home since I joined Deloitte in July. Should I talk to my manager and go back to my hometown Kolkata and work from there? Staying in PG all day and working from here is not quite feasible for me. Suggest pls. Deloitte India

I am wondering the same. My contract doesn’t define telework so we do what the client does. But with these possible changes, could there be negotiation?
Equally as difficult is good people can work remotely and be productive. If your remote work people are not performing then replace them. The next generation if workers do quite well remote working. Us old workers have to realize the workforce has changed.
