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.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

I need some advice. I got a new job back in may of this year. Very excited for a new opportunity to learn some new things and get a higher paycheck. I started and have gotten a few projects but they haven’t consistently been giving me hardly any work to do. I’m not resourced enough. I told my manager I have a lot of free time. I also work fully remote. I am feeling very unfulfilled and not sure what I should do next. I am very self motivated and want to make great work but not sure what to do.
