Today HR announced no more remote Fridays because there's an overall productivity drop. However, the CD and CEO get to still work from home and when I brought it up, I was told our roles can't be compared. What I can compare is the fact that my commute is close to 90 mins and theirs is barely 15-20mins. How is this fair? Would HR in your company talk to employees with this kind of dismissal?

You still don't get how this works, huh?

You can raise it once in a neutral way (“My commute is two hours each way, is there any flexibility for a hybrid arrangement like I’ve had, given my performance?”) and, regardless of the answer, start looking for roles where the policy and reality actually match.

Let’s not conflate a CEO role with an advertising creative

Start interviewing! Most layoffs right now are remote workers especially where mergers are happening or happened. It’s easier to lay off & rehire hybrid or onsite & sadly enough both roles would have over 100 resumes in this economy.

How do you keep up/in touch with your network? Mine barely post anything on LinkedIn, so commenting on their posts is out of the question, and apparently it's impolite to just message or email them if the job searcher doesn't have anything to share besides asking for a referral or opening. If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale. I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon. A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?
