Marsh & McLennan I am moving 2 hours from my office. My manager says i have to come 2 days to office. When i come to the office its only me and couple of other people. No one seems to care about coming to office. When i asked manager if i can work remote i was told that its for my career development. Can you guys tell in Canada which companies are offering remote opportunities?

Hi Fishes, I have offers from PwC(risk advisory) and IBM(app development). Thing is that the PwC joining is at Kolkata location but I don't want to go there and stay. There is not much difference between the offers in terms of package(10 & 10.4). Can I ask PwC to provide WFH or change my office location for this? Deloitte EY PwC KPMG

This is going to sound counterintuitive, but give it a try. Just like with doodling, somehow you retain more information if you engage in a relaxing semi mindless repetitive activity, like Candy Crush or something like that, while listening.
Never thought of that! Someone else responded saying knitting helps them. I’m going to try doodling or some other simple task that won’t distract me mentally and will keep my hands busy so I’m not looking up news on my laptop or staring at social media on my phone. Thanks for the recco!
I started knitting during meetings and it helps me concentrate much better. Since my hands are preoccupied I can't look at emails, Instagram, etc. and it helps me focus on the topic being discussed.
Keep your video on and keep knitting while staring at the webcam :)

Force yourself to take notes to try and be more present?
This is my go to trick! I’ll offer to take minutes just to hold myself accountable.

Record them on your phone. There's a built in app for iPhone. You can even let people know at the beginning or ask if that's ok. That way if you space out you can go back. Or even if you need to go back days later you can.

@EY2 how did they get caught?
I don’t have advice I’m just here to say Same! This week more than others. But maybe it’s because layoffs are upon us and I can’t focus in general??
I’m always looking at my phone or doing other things or just plain not listening 👂
There’s some good advice in the comments, you should check it out too! I think it might have to do with the fact that... you know... the world is on fire and my mind is constantly elsewhere 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
