There is some dark humor in all of this. Day 1 of working from home (Monday): my home office desk chair breaks.

Day 2 retail is shut down across my state...

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

What is McK London WFH policy now? Is it still work from home any number of days of the week you want and project allow or have to go in a couple of times a week?

Hi folks,

Is wfh ending soon in capegemini?
And do they provide any wfh allowance and office setup allowance?

I heard that California had a WBS to cover Internet bills during WFH. Is there such a WBS for Colorado? Thank you!

Do you remember when “office closed due to inclement weather” meant you had an easy day at home because remote wasn’t a thing yet? Now with a foot of snow coming, office closed means wfh with no backup childcare available….

I have offer from Kpmg and Deloitte and I prefer wfh. Do let me know which one to join?
And other benefits too.

Hello,

After onboarding in Deloitte USI Hyderabad do we need to report immediately from next day to office as per hybrid model or we can continue wfh until assigned to project

I was told a position is expected to return to the hybrid mode and not 100% remote eligible. Has anyone successfully negotiated a role labeled this way to become fully remote?

Novartis is providing permanent WFH, is this true?

Hi folks.

I wanted to know if HashedIn provides permanent WFH. Atleast for senior employees.

During my HR discussion, HR told me that senior employees like you (SE III) don't have to come to office.

I want to know if it's true or not.

Also please let me know what is the notice period in HashedIn.

Do anyone know what are the wfh kits will be provided by Hexaware for experienced employees who is joining newly to organization?
Any ideas?

Hi everyone! Does anyone have suggestions on a good standing desk or ergonomic chair?

Hi Guys,

Does EY gives wfh.
I will be joining ey in jan next year.@

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

7 year lawyer here. Been with the same big national firm all 7 years (not BigLaw) doing complex litigation. Been working remote a long time due to moving around for wife’s job. As a result of the moving was bumped off partner track. I’m looking at a great small firm that will be a practice change (but still litigation). I’m told they’re looking for someone with less experience and they’re skeptical because of my experience. It’s frustrating. How do I overcome this?

Hi all! Has anyone worked at BAC in risk before? Any feedback / advice? Looking to transition from big 4 consulting to BAC risk in Charlotte. Thanks!

Just negotiated my lease down another 5%. Went down 4% last year too. Probably means I could’ve pushed harder last year, but still nice.

Anyone here who have given data engineer interview at rolls royce?

I’m a first year that’s inching toward second year. Partners in my group say “sometimes getting thrown into the deep end is the best way to learn.” However, I feel so lost. I feel like saying the above is just an excuse for not wanting to take the time to actually teach new associates.

Any tips on how to transition to entertainment law? Like skills to build? CLEs to take? How to become more appealing to entertainment firms and companies?
For context, I'm currently working in plaintiff side employment.

Has anybody else experienced (what seems like) irreversible physical damage from working long hours?

What’s your favorite WFH footwear? Any recommended brands for a chilly home office?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Where are you traveling to when it’s finally safe to do so?

My son lost his summer job. So I gave him the honey do list @ $15/hr. It’s a long list...

How do I politely resign? I was going to put my two weeks in last week, but it felt inappropriate because my boss was hospitalized. She is back from the hospital now but still isn’t feeling well. I start my new job on the 12th 🙃 I don’t want to be a jerk but this job is not a good fit for my current lifestyle.

Having seen some of the wild stuff in the past couple years does anyone have a good pointer for a basic “medic” course? Help slow/stop the “oh sh*t” for the real folks to get there?
