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!

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.

2012 Sr Associate. Left my firm in February after being recruited by a partner I used to work for, and it turns out I’m not very happy. Difficult people, terrible schedule and ruined vacations so far. A partner at my old firm in another group has asked if I would come back to work for just him. I liked working for him, we have great rapport and I could do permanent WFH since he is in another city. I don’t want to burn bridges, would this be a bad idea? Or an easy decision?

Curious about what other executive assistants get paid? Not sure if is is within the allowed rules of Fishbowl… I am feeling quite underpaid at the moment.

Excited to be here in this bowl with y’all! :)
