Need some help: Haven't been to the home office in more than a month. Now have an option to go to the home office or just stay back in the city I'm in( which I totally enjoy being in). What to choose?

Depends on how good your local network is, and how well you keep up with folks otherwise

You mean you could change your home office? Do they pay by location, will they adjust yr salary at all?

Nah. Just wondering if I should just show my face in the office. And if it's important to do that.

Depends on firm culture and office. Will you actually see leadership / others in your group there? In my office the answer is a big NO and there's no way in hell I'm trekking into the office to have to listen to everyone else take loud phone calls in open space and feel like I can't get any work done.

Yeah I guess if I'm there I can attend happy hours and get to network with leadership. But not sure if that's of any help to me more than they just knowing my name. I'm a Staff btw

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish.

I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.
