Yeah, what you are describing only gets 'worse' as you advance but you do start to step away from the detail workpapers. I write off a good half to three quarters of my day as meetings and helping team members with questions.

Instead of away... I put my messenger on Do Not Disturb... then only check my email a few times a day. It really helps.

Block time on your calendar to get work done and set times to check email or address requests. Inform ppl when you don't have availability and suggest a realistic time to have their request handled. I had to inform a director that I wasn't avail for 3 data at least but I addressed it when I said I would and there was no issue. You have to speak up.

I keep seeing new GD reviews about the company moving away from the hybrid work model and mandating RTO. Can any current employees explain what’s going on?

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?
