Really annoyed by the email EY sent about the work from home policy and the “exception” to client travel. I’m sure partners and managers will use that language to intimidate colleagues into working from offices and forcing client travel. I’m sorry but I don’t need to go into an office to reconcile a bank statement or ask some temp staff accountant a question they know nothing about. I’m all for a virtual new normal going forward and not seeing my useless colleagues at EY for a long while.

I haven’t had one partner even hint at pressuring our teams to return to a client site or office. And even if a dire situation did occur, there’s still a lot of approvals that need to take place so it won’t be the norm. Everyone I’ve worked with has been supportive and knows the default is work from home and continues to encourage taking precautions and do whatever is best for our health- mentally and physically.
