What’s your agency’s WFH policy? Is it ok to declare you’re working from home every once and a while? Sometimes I need to and I do better work when I’m away

I do it, but it’s a small agency and very loose. Some days you just need to crank out work and fewer distractions helps a lot.

I’ve heard of other agencies having a dedicated day a week, with varying results.

I work in a city with a serious traffic problem, so most workplaces have some form of flexible schedule/WFH policy in place.

I’m in a startup creative agency, only 6 in the team. I’ve been working from home since I joined. It’s fun at first but could go crazy once projects pile up and your bosses are nowhere to approve/clear ideas with you.

Haha sometimes I am shocked that I can go months without being in the office more than 4 days per week. But where I’m at we are very lax as long as your work gets done.

Not allowed on my team unless you are a supervisor or above. Frowned upon to ask below that level too.

Yikes

Policy is one work from anywhere day a month. But I know lots of people who do it more often. It all depends on who your supervisor is

It’s acceptable if done maybe once every couple mos at my place

Pretty lax from what I can tell, it seems like the average person takes WFH at least 2-3 days a month here.

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.

I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks
