This does prompt a conversation about firm money saved on operating costs that each employee assumes working from home. These are now bills increasing that once would not have been. Though we do save in gas and mileage for the commute.

Yup. My full Internet bill is covered by not commuting just four days out of any month, and that doesn’t include savings from any lunches I don’t buy that I otherwise would when I go to my office.

You know they’ll just deduct $250 from your raise/bonus this year, right? Deloitte pulled the same move with a $500 WFH subsidy right before our updated pay statements to try and placate people. Needless to say, it did not work.

PwC is way too late. Other companies have already provided one time cash or furniture or allowed employees to expense off ... It’s more like reimbursement for the items that we have already purchased to support WFH.

Accenture gave us nothing! Unless you had dependents. They did reimburse $100 a day for care when most daycares were closed for a few months.

Julie, we need WFH reimbursements!

I work at a boutique we had $300 per year previously pre-COVID that's now increased to $500 per year for the foresseable. It really does help.

They even gave suggestions like getting airpods, monitors, standing desks etc.

I really do value the consideration behind this, it's minor in the grand scheme of things, but any firm that does this deserves credit, it's quickly becoming the norm it looks like.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

I realized recently that I can turn my “super associate” persona at any time. I had it off during covid when my kids needed me and got a bad review. So now it’s back on. I’m responding to midnight emails (and daytime ones in under 20 minutes) and getting work done the same morning. I’m spending countless hours doing edits over edits. I actually don’t like super associate. Why do people live like this 24/7?!? 🤔
