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!

FCB - 3 days in, starting?

Ogilvy is office open now, as needed/wanted. Hybrid model of rotating 3 days in office, 2 days WFH starts sometime in 2022. More details on exactly how that will work to come. Vaccines required.

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.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
