My year round client is 20 miles from my home. I spend over 10 hours a week commuting. I've been efficient in the past 2 months wfh. They can kiss my ass if they say I can't wfh more often (2-3 times per week).

To kiss someone's ass you have to bend down. You might as well hug the ass while there.

So I kind of tried saying something to that effect, since I can’t go back to work until the kids go back to school. And my partner was about to say “well what do you mean, what if they don’t open up the schools anytime soon”, but he kind of held himself back and didn’t finish the sentence. So yea, good luck with that conversation.

Since I started, I was working from home once a week. Then it became 2-3 times a week. I’m moving to a different city to be with my gf who’s in residency and politely let my manager know. All he could say was “I’m okay with that just please try to go into the office once in a while and make friends.”

If you have your manager vibe and you’re not a lazy, why not? Make your case.
