If I hadn’t been able to work remotely, instead of being productive for another 3 months I would have needed unpaid leave (despite living in CA, as a Fed I don’t get disability).

What would you have done 25 years ago? Cry babies

Who cares? We live today, not 25 years go.

I don't think that is a companies issue, that's a you issue. It's also why short term disability exists. I mean obviously companies can make whatever rules fit for the talent they need, but assuming they would need to accommodate disabilities isn't top of mind for overall productivity.

This. It varies a lot within industries and even companies. It can also change at any time as so many employees have found out over the last three years.

It sucked 25 year ago. Why would we want that again?

Exactly, this line of reasoning makes no sense.

For law firms it is definitely something to ask people when you are interviewing and researching. It seems to be very practice group specific at certain firms. I know that some are very strict about it and others don’t care at all, so no matter what the official policy is, you need to do more research

Yeah, but i think multiple posters are saying this is only on paper. No lawyers are actually going in for those requirements.

Caveat though that my firm dinged people on bonuses who had low in office hours AND had average or below-average performance reviews. Seems to be a way to save some money on comp for associates and income partners who they don't want to fire, but won't lose sleep if they quit in the coming years. High performers who aren't coming into the office aren't getting any blowback.

Lots of lawyers are still remote; which is to say, no matter where they are they are working.

Could you explain more about why you couldn't come into the office after that injury? Did you need to stay in bed? I'm imagining that you could have used crutches or a wheelchair at the office, but maybe that wasn't an option for you?

My company is a CRO (contract research organization) with tons of government contracts. Fully remote and no plans for RTO since much of our staff is no longer in the area and we have grown globally so much over the last few years.

Are you hungry or do you need a nap?

There are a lot of fake job listings on LinkedIn.

Many law firms are requiring more in office days, at the end of 2024 one BigLaw firm went to 5 days in.

Regardless of Feds, trend seems to be away from fully remote.
