It’s mandatory to be in the office Monday- Friday. We are only allowed to wfh 2 days a month. I work in the accounting room which has 8 people in total. I have 1 co worker who always gossips and hums/sings and it’s annoying. Is it worth bringing up to my manager? The situation is quite irritating.

I’d personally just have a word with them first before bringing it up to the manager. Although it does sound annoying.

In order to block them out you could try headphones? Airpod cancellation helps me block out unnecessary noise.

In short, no. You’re always going to have coworkers who have behavioral tendencies that are not ideal. If a person is literally singing, ask them directly (and not confrontationally) to not do so because you’re trying to focus. Don’t bring it to your supervisor.

No, just put your headphones on

I’d love honest reactions to help ease my mind. I’ve been paying lower rent (like 1400) in HCOL city last few years. Finally debt free from grad school as of this year. Total comp is now low 200k. Does 2800 for rent (im looking at new leases this week) feel high? Moderate? Just want a pulse check on if I’m being reasonable with the 2800, compared to how others think about it. I think it’s ok given HCOL and I now work from home. Disclaimer: this isn’t humble brag stuff. I just want real advice.

Still WFH? What are other chambers doing for task management? Our chambers has been keeping up with assignments, incoming emails needing judge’s eyes, and written orders, all through Microsoft Planner. We share PDFs through Sharepoint folders. Although we still email draft orders back and forth, the system seems to work well enough. We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.

Does anyone feel they’re adding any sort of value while going to the office? I personally don’t. In my team there’s legit zero level interaction with each other, no informative talks, no growths conversation and few are so absurd that each day they just find ways to impress their snrs. man, come on😅

Leadership asks us to come 2-3 days in a week and if I have to work in the same way which I used to do from home then why don’t we keep doing WFH as long as your job is not suffering.

Dead Floor!
