[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll preface this with I’m a millennial and mother of 1 toddler at the SM/AD level. I’ve been interviewing with several companies at the F500 level and a few small shops. Based off the conversations I have had and the things i see here and linked in, more and more companies are being strong armed into accepting remote workers. (Anecdotally) This is in direct contrast to my experiences over the last couple of months interviewing and networking. It seems companies are telling people they’ve adopted hybrid models but still expect about 50+% work from office OR fully in office.

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 [b]I’ve loved being able to do more than ‘water cooler’ talks during downtimes at work[/b][/quote]

[b]Aka I like doing my chores, gym workouts, etc on company time.[/b]

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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]
