Any point going to the office M-Th?

Dunno about you, but I like to talk to people in the office about projects.

Half office half home

Slopes ⛷⛷⛷

Look through bills and photos from vacation. Stay close communication with staffer. Reach out to people via emails and send up phone call. Read books and PD. Look for training for the upcoming year.

Working from home on internal initiatives..start new project on Monday. I have no intentions of going into the office this week.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?
