I mean I’ve been in the office 3 days over the last 2.5 years, so it won’t really matter

likehelpfulfunny

Probably not until at least Q3 2021 when vaccines have been widely distributed. Even then, the whole notion of having to go to the office might be scrapped completely so who knows

What do you mean? Like when we have to physically go back into our local home office?

Never. I haven’t been back to the office since first day for orientation.

Never? I’m aligned to the St. Louis office but have always lived in Iowa even before covid. It’s irrelevant where we live

I dont think it will ever be a requirement but some limited capacity might come back in Q3-Q4 next year

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
