This time of year do you embrace remote work? I’ve been working from home for over 10 years but I know others have hybrid and I’m curious if you guys take advantage of that during the holidays?

To be honest… most of my days are flex… I log in around 5:30 AM, send my assistants or junior associate/planner tasks that need to be completed for the day… complete some additional tasks, email clients… I’m in the office by 7:30-8:00… I’m out of the office around 1:30-2:00… unless there’s a meeting or event that I have scheduled…

But I choose to go to the office to lead by example… my office is 13 minutes door to door… but if my office was in downtown and had to commute 1hr each way… I’d probably work remotely more…

That's amazing, congrats to your team! I work for a high producing team as well, just with way less freedom.

Our hybrid is rapidly disappearing, and they make no exception for it being close to the holiday. We started the year with in-office being completely optional. We are now at 3 mandatory in-office days, and my guess is we will be 100% in office by the spring.

We are allowed to work from home two days a week, regardless of the time of year. I always take advantage of it and it's extra nice during those times when my kids are out of school. I really wish we could be fully remote because it's clear we don't need to be in the office, but they want us to be for whatever reason.

My company has the same rules around the holidays as any other time of year but they tend to be more understanding if you make it in 3 instead of 4 days a week during this time, but it’s not supposed to become a habit

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
