We know that sooner or later, most of the companies will start calling employees back in office to work.

Many of us find it easy to WFH/Remote. (Well many might like the opposite or hybrid and that's totally okay)

But If you were called by your employer and you convince that you can work better from home and agreed to extend or convert you to remote..!

Share Tips(😉)/insights on this (if it works or not to help out)

Thanks in advance. 🙂

It's all about proof. Can you prove you are more productive based on work outcomes prior to COVID vs. now? If you can quantify that WFH is better for the company, then you'll have a chance of convincing your manager.

Yeah sounds perfect kind of initial argument but I heard from few of my friends that this is the standard response they provide " you have to come according to the company policy and others also don't think it's not gonna make that much difference"

Note: It depends on PM though it's coming to more or less same argument. And there it is "phir to kya hi kar sakte hai.."

I would def have statistics and anything you can ready to back up your claim that you are more productive at home. If you can show hey I've done xyz in the last six months being from home, they are more likely to go for it.

Don't get vaccinated
They wouldn't call unless someone is fully vaccinated as it is a mandate
