If you work remote, which I assume at least some (most?) of us do. Is their any amount of money or benefits they could offer you that would make you go back to the office? I'm an SDE for a smaller company and I think it's time for me to move on, they're asking everyone to come back and offering no incentive, I know I could make the same or more working from home for someone else.

Extra 2+ hours per day spent commuting and getting ready, on top of £300+ for petrol per month? No thank you. I'd either try and talk to the boss about it or look for something else. In current state of things, if you're not getting a pay rise, you're getting a pay cut. Asking to come back to the office without payrise is a double paycut

If they offered me 20k+ more or something I'd take it, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. I just don't see why they'd want us to return either, it's expensive for everyone involved you'd think.

Hello Sharks from CapG Eng. Need some information.

Is CapG doing Virtual onboarding now a days or we need to visit the office for doing so?
Also is the WFH still available or u guys are doing the hybrid mode?

Can we deduct our WFH spaces this year from our taxes? Especially if we moved into an apartment with an extra room for a home office? Paying considerably more in rent just to have a place to separate from the chaos in the background.

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
