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

Ogilvy - sometime in 2022

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.

Went into the office today. The choice to come in was mine as the office is open but there’s no mandate.

Gotta admit, it was nice to have fast wifi, a crap ton of LaCroix I can drink (and take home), and just get out of my home office for a change.

Will I do this often? Doubt it. Is it a nice option to have should my wifi go out again? Yes it is.

Hi,
Can anyone suggest what should I do ? I am joining Citi next week and the team I’m assigned I heard has very hectic schedule and strict 3 days wfo and today I got a selection email from another company who are offering permanent WFH , due to certain internal approvals , the offer could be shared only next Wednesday, As I’m more inclined towards the latter. Is it possible to get early termination once my new offer comes through or I have to serve 3 months NP?

I am going to gross above the 2022 Roth limit, but my MAGI will bring me below the limit based on my maxing out of 401k. I am also expecting to receive 2 bonuses this year, one for $8k and another for a yet to be determined amount. Basically, I am right on the edge of the threshold and it is making planning confusing. Anyone encounter this before? How’d you gauge your contribution for the year? Or is it best to just wait until next April and pull the trigger then so you don’t over contribute?
