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.

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

My company announced a hybrid plan starting in September (1-3 days per week in the office). Did anyone else’s company announce a hybrid plan?

Can the hybrid model actually work?

People have gotten so used to just backing meetings up into each other. You logout of one and immediately jump in to another. I remember days full of meetings before but not at this volume.

I struggle believing this practice will cease with any percentage of the workforce at home. I don't subscribe to all or nothing but I'm interested in if this has been addressed. Has anyone's hybrid policy mentioned the future of meeting best practice?

Email from leadership last week. We can go back as soon as 7/5 with permission. Had to let our boss know. Phase 1 will begin in July and go through end of Sept, provided schools are re opened.
