Why cant you ask re remote?
That’s a good question and it’s something I will be requesting if our hybrid schedule goes back to in-office full time. The owner is crazy about seeing people at the office even if it means that we are sitting there doing nothing. Total control freak.
I negotiated a hybrid work environment as part of my terms of hiring well before the pandemic. I find that most employers will adapt as long as they see you at least some point during the week and you commit to being in the office for any necessary in-person meetings. If you don’t ask, you won’t get it. Where initial GC positions are hard to come by, it seems like you are well-situated so, if you are happy otherwise, ask and let them know how important it is to you and explain it in a way where it adds value to the company such as, “I can spend more time addressing company matters and I am more refreshed to do so because I am not commuting for x hours per week and can put that back into the company.”
