I'm a junior and I'm only allowed one remote day per week, but frequently just don't go in an extra day. Usually it's after a long billing day, other times it's after late night firm events. No one has gotten onto me yet. Can I just keep doing this lol? It's really helping me survive. I bill good hours and have great reviews. Every week I'm like ok. This week is the week. But it never is. Most people are 3-2 anyways.

I go like 2-3 days a week even though my office is like this too. I have great reviews and my hours are great. I sometimes get emails reminding me about the rule but until someone tells me I’m getting fired because of it, I’m gonna continue doing it. I think the best way is to make sure 1) your hours are consistently good and 2) when you’re in the office go to lunch with colleagues, pop by people’s offices, etc to make yourself seen and fosters that “in office” culture firms that are strict about this care about.
