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.

Is HARMAN really recruiting for permanent remote roles? Would they ask us to come to office after sometime? I am a bachelor woman supporting my sickly parents and can't move them out of city. And my city don't have harman office. HR did mention permanent remote, still want to confirm as I've heard many cases people were called back across different product based companies.

McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

Maybe it’s the medium not the message. Can you try text or WhatsApp? Or have an open zoom call where you can walk away from the computer, move around and do whatever you like, just like if you were in the room together.
This message is spot on, you need to find what avenue your partner is also comfortable with for communication. Slack is equally as much of a burden, people are expected to always be on and responsive despite email, text, calls, and zooms all simultaneously happening at any given moment.
Approach from a place of empathy. We’re all going through a lot right now. Who knows what they’re dealing with that could be effecting their will to work.
How long have you worked together? Maybe you two have different working styles?
For example, my partner is a slow firing type where he turns off slack while concepting for a little while, whole I'm the type to rattle shit off in a million messages. We have a mutual understanding and respect of each other's flow and styles, and know we can have checkpoints where we get on a call and talk our ideas out collectively.
if you want brainstorming time ask them what times work for them and use that time to brainstorm. some ppl don’t work best with back to back slacking and texting
how do you literally have time to be left on read ha

I feel like Slack isn’t great for this type of thing. Discussing ideas can be tricky, I think it’s definitely a task that needs voice, maybe video.
Thanks for the responses everyone! Yeah, I think we just have different styles. For extra context: this is someone who’s said they don’t really want a dedicated partner. So hey that’s fine, I think I’m just adjusting to their way of doing things. All good :)
