I concur. Like this was maybe fine or more tolerable from home but the thought of going back is not good.
I have an honest question: what is the penalty if you just don’t go back 5 days a week? Like, what will the firm do if you continue to bill like you were in the office and then you just weren’t? I see a number of associates complaining about it, but like what if you just went in for a week or two and then slowly just didn’t. I think it will be hard for a firm to fire you for not abiding by an attendance policy that was unwritten before and now written and completely baseless.
If you want your firm to listen, make a financial argument about it and why your in-person attendance doesn’t and should not matter.
I know someone that moved permanently to a city where the firm does not have an office and plans on giving notice when such firm formally calls for a full return.
P1’s comment just made me think of how many people are probably doing this. There’s a number of articles floating around talking about how the pandemic made a large portion of the American work force rethink how they want to spend their life (read: work) when everything returns to normal. I can imagine a number of people who have moved permanently just don’t go back and continue working/getting paid until the firm fires them. Or, to P1s comment, some firms will just never do anything.
Same...I have been in a total spiral since our firm announced a return to office policy that seems like a total culture shift from where we were pre-Covid.
Our firm has three “offices” in Texas (10 total cities, 70+ attorneys) but everyone works remotely and always will (unless they want to rent their own office space). You keep 80% of the $ on your origination/your work, and 58% when doing work on others’ clients. 8+ years of practice with some BigLaw in there is the minimum requirement. No billable quotas and you set your own rate.
If you want to be remote, why do you need the flexible firm to be in Texas? 😀
Got it! I’m in that boat too.
