Returning to the office: What has been your company's policy? I'm tryna see something 👀

THD announced a 3 day in office week for some groups, mine being one, despite working exclusively with external partners with some analytics sprinkled in. 2 weeks in and I hate it.

Bonus points if you're an ATL based company 💡

We haven’t gone back, and my company is leaving it up to each manager. I am the manager, so I’m keeping my team remote because they’ve proven they can do their job remote, so there is no reason for me to force them to go back if they all don’t want to.

We go back 3/14 3 days in office for 90days then 5 days after that. I am so confused why there is no flexibility. Never thought I would think of leaving but I am really considering it. Will try the hybrid but my work is easily executed from home.

I posted here some months back about my ectopic pregnancies but today, I'm posting to tell you all to hang in there and God will do it for you. (Please don't insult me of you don't believe in God because I strongly do).
In a nut shell, we had baby #1 without trying. Started trying for #2 and over 2 years, I had 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. In July, my doc informed me that the only way forward was through IVF. I was tired and confused. I PRAYED! and continued trying. (The rest in the comments.)

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
