Saw this post from a friend of a friend that works at a media agency. Now agencies need to spend money on outside training to try and get their managers to convince their team members to come into the office!? What a waste of money. If you want to go to the office, do so. If you can get your work done from home, your commute takes extremely long to get in, or you have a situation that makes it harder to go in but you get your work done and on time, wfh. It’s not rocket science…..

I mean, proximity bias is a real thing, and having training on how to mitigate it would be good for the folks who are hybrid or work at home.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m mostly remote and have been advocating as such for my team. But in an industry that tends to not train its managers at all, guidance on building an inclusive environment that support hybrid working, as this email seems to be implying with bullet 2 and 4 (“regardless of your teams work location”) seems like a good thing.

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.
