We were just informed today that our work from home/office is changing. If you work 100% in the office you get a private cube and get to park within the gates. If you work remote (only 1-2 days per week), you must share an office (you get it say Monday and Wednesday, someone else gets it Tuesday and Thursday, and the 5th day you would need to find another empty cube) and you park in general parking. Right now i work 1 day from home and every other week, 2 days. Which would you choose? Why?

1 day at home and 4 days living like a nomad in the office is not worth it to me. 2 days at home and it gets a little harder to decide. Make it 3 at home, 2 in the office and you’ve got a deal.

100% the hybrid option, especially if you have a commute. The option to not have to commute daily and have quiet focus time would be so valuable.

I should also mention, my commute is 30 minutes each way.

Hilarious. I commuted 1 1/2 hours one way into NYC, on one train and then subways with a transfer for 25 years.

Uphill both ways.

The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)

Question re: salary. I’m thinking about accepting an offer at a small (4-6 attorneys) transactional firm. I would primarily be working on NDAs for clients.
