WFH vs RTO:

I started compiling a list from what I’ve seen on Fishbowl so I can figure out which agencies I’m going to hit up for a more flexible work policy. Please add any other agency info you have or correct any I got wrong. Thanks!

Nov 1 mandate - DDB & Havas - 3 days in

FCB - 3 days in, starting?

Laughlin Constable in since June - 2 days a week

CK Jan 1 - pick 2 days in office

Merge permanently remote friendly. If you want to come in, you have to be vaccinated (as do clients). Teams are figuring out on their own cadence when/if they want to be in

Uhhhh…not sure where you got your info, but nope, we absolutely did not. The Aon office has been available this entire time for people who WANT to go in, but we’re remote until Jan 2022. When we go back it will be hybrid. Expectation is 3 days/wk on average but it sounds like that’s not mandatory and it’ll be flexible depending on team and client needs. Chicago office is also moving to 111 N Canal at the end of the year.

Any thoughts on what the 'full' transition to hybrid will look like? Do you think showing up in-person to the office would be required even if the client isn't requesting it? I'm planning on staying WFH for as long and as much as possible and getting concerned about some of the emails we've been getting about the future of hybrid work at PRO.
