RTO plans announced last month, I'm the only person in the office because the rest of my team is in different cities (East coast plus Chicago). What is the etiquette around approaching teams located in my office and asking if they have a spot for me?

In my (admittedly limited) experience, I believe you would typically go to HR about rotating teams vs approaching teams yourself.

At the agencies I’ve been at, they typically want you to stay in your job for a year before they’ll allow a rotation, but ymmv.

How do you guys handle working with a staff accountant who just completely ignores you when you delegate work down to them, and who gives you an attitude all the time? If I send an email, I also have to follow up with her on teams multiple times, and hope after a few hours she actually does what she says she will do. I moved from public to industry recently, and I’ve always had great staff that wanted to do well and have never experienced working with someone who just doesn’t want to do the job.
