I started a 100% remote job in late November. I already won two awards and got promoted.

So please tell me again about how my productivity is low?

If you got two “awards” since November: peak Millennial



Now if you talked about what you accomplished, I would be interested

Please tell me you’re part of the boomer crowd that raised millennials and started these participation trophy craze. The irony might be lost on you.

Getting a promotion is an accomplishment

Who knows. It could be because they were in same lunch beer club as their supervisor — it’s not an accomplishment it’s a reward.

Sorry GenX. my kids lose all their board games and understand that life isn’t fair.

That said, I can be persuaded that for individuals WFH can work well, but it takes innovative leadership (such as tiger team off sites) to do things differently than just “work the same but from home”

Is this ‘everyone will wfh’ banter being blown out of proportion? Am I self-selecting to companies who are more likely to expect office work? Trying to understand because I’ve loved being able to do more than ‘water cooler’ talks during downtimes at work

Aka I like doing my chores, gym workouts, etc on company time.

Everyone will not WFH. A larger portion of the populous will work from home more often than they did pre-pandemic. Private companies have more leeway on their policies because there are no shareholders to report to at the end of each quarter. As profits drop, more companies will call employees back to the office.

Many companies are hybrid in that they allow partial WFH arrangements, mostly just to keep the employees happy, not really because it's what is best for the business.

Have you not looked at any 10k..? Several companies were equally or more profitable with full wfh. Get your head out of your youknow what.

WFH worked when our lives were truncated by the pandemic. We had no dinner dates, no kids activities, no drinks out after work. We had work, zoom parties, and we finished Netflix. So we worked some more and boom when your life is work and sleep, productivity was maintained and sometimes boosted.

Post pandemic, now when we WFH we can go the gym, we cut out at 4 to hit happy hour, etc.

Also we coasted a lot on culture and process established in person, but that hasn’t been replicated in Slack/Teams/Zoom environments.

And now that we all have a handle on the teleconference tools, we have way way more meetings. What used to be a 5 minute chat after a meeting now must be it’s own scheduled event and balloons to 30 min.

Okay grandpa, let’s get you your pudding and to bed.

Your hysterical pro-WFH defensiveness is delicious. DP.

I am responsible for driving strategic analysis at the major multinational bank that I work at. More specifically, I am the lead for strat analysis related to the Russia-Ukraine war. I was—and continue to be—responsible for helping firm leadership navigate their exposure during these very complex times. For my efforts, I have received two awards and have been promoted to deputy team lead, where I will split my previous responsibilities with managerial responsibilities.

Strategic analysis? That tracks.

HAHAHAHA! I mean yes, my husband does take the laundry to the basement, where his office it, and starts it when he starts work. We're both remote and noticed we both work more than when we did when we went into the office. It's far easier to overwork as you don't have to leave at a set time. I need to bill at least 7 hours a day, I typically get 8-9. DH is easily 8-10 most days. I'm sure some people slack of course, but not all.

And how much time are you spending helping to develop more junior talent? Surely you know that you need to be doing more than just grinding out billable hours you want to be partner.

What do you have against strategic analysis?

Just looked at the link you included — the fact that you think strategic analysis is a corporate buzzword says more about you than anything else.
