Decent hours, in office

[Anonymous]

So I recently had to go back into the office three days a week. I actually don’t mind it at all, which surprised me. A lot of people in my department aren’t following the organization’s request. Many are doing 1 day a week, some people are still remote. But I realized I don’t mind at all going in three days a week. I’m not going be anti remote publicly because I like that management seems more flexible than they were before the pandemic. But if I’m willing to go in 3, maybe 4, days a week, does this open more lucrative job opportunities? I always assumed I would never get past a certain level because I want to work 40 to 45 hours a week.

I (c suite) would personally far prefer to promote a person who gets the job done than someone who is physically located somewhere but is not willing to be flexible with hours. To be clear I don’t expect insanity, but I would much prefer results to giving af where someone is achieving the results. But I’m a borderline millennial/ Gen. X and I feel like rto is mainly driven by old x and boomers so maybe?

My firm, I got an in person job three levels above prior person who did it mostly remote.

That person did not get promoted in 9 years mainly due to being remote a lot.

Zuckerberg is a millennial, and Meta just enforced hybrid.

OP: I’m actually not anti wfh - I don’t care if co-workers show up less than I do. I would care if my boss came in less than me. On my hybrid days, I probably won’t go in when it’s snowing (not in DC). Just curious about if it will benefit me professionally since it seems like going into the office is such a big deal for folks (i.e. your comment) and I’ll have more in person time. And I’m saying I still only want to work 8, maybe 9, hours a day. So I’m definitely not an overachiever, just really like hybrid.

Freddie Mac just did three days back. Some spoiled brats quit. They have tons of 200k to 350k jobs doing basically nothing but push paper.
