No clue! I'm a forklift operator, can't exactly do that at home. Well, technically I can but I don't think the lawn would appreciate me driving around on it.

WFH was fine on occasion if your manager was fine with it, but scheduled days or any regularity wasnt really a thing at all before COVID hit at my place.

I got 0 WFH before COVID although they did let me WFH one time when my son was really sick and I had an important project that they needed the analysis for and couldn't wait for me to be back in the office so it was either let me work or I would have used PTO and not worked.

During COVID I was 100% WFH for the first year (although I did get furloughed for about a month shortly after COVID began). Then it became 1 day a month for meetings and now since last summer it's been 4 days a month which isn't the end of the world but still sucks because my commute is awful. If they try and increase it to more, I'm honestly going to start pursuing other opportunities closer to home. Working with my best friend and the hybrid schedule was really the only thing keeping me there and my friend has left the company so right now it's just the hybrid schedule as the benefit.

Hell naw, 2020 was the year I got out of retail and I never want to go back. I now work in administration for an infrastructure company, my pay is 30% higher than when I was a manager despite working fewer hours and I work the majority of the week at home, which returns about 6 hours a week that I'd have previously spent commuting.

You don't consider retail MGMT that great? I have even thought about doing that. At least no degree required.

we got Fridays remote at my old job. most people got 3 days in office, and even then they could leave early to finish up at home because traffic is always terrible. this was pre pandemic.

post pandemic I think they're now at 5 days in office. it's dumb. most of these people are likely just dialing in on zoom meetings anyway because the teams are typically distributed across the country.

All of my work days were from home, and still are.

In fact, my company decided to closed most of the brick and mortar call centers in the Eastern half of the US because the agents were doing much better at home and it cost them less to maintain.

Before COVID I could WFH if I had an appointment, needed to be at my house for some reason, or there was bad weather or something. The expectation though was unless it was something like that then you were in the office.

When COVID hit and they sent us all on WFH I decided to move out of state and make my job 100% permanent WFH, which is still what Im doing to this day.

I still travel back to the office once a month or so for team events or if there is a town hall or something.

Those that are by the office are mostly hybrid now and typically go in Tu-W-Th, as thats the expectation, but there are so many remote teams and folks that have long commutes that its not enforced consistently across the board. As long as your manager is ok with it, its fine to WFH more.

The extra pay does not cover the extra time and responsibilities, especially when I was on a fairly short leash to begin with. My current role also doesn't need a degree.

This. During its peak, they would adjust our schedule to have half our department work alternating weekends with a random weekday off instead of all working together M-F. I opted for a consistent Tue-Sat so I could at least have consecutive days off.

1 a week. I believe we were allowed 2 a week, though.

During covid it was no in office days unless we really needed to go it.

In the past few years it was 1 in office day a week which is fine.

Thanks to fucking Trump it will now be no days a week even though going into the office every single day is a gigantic waste of time and money.

My current position is hard to describe without doxing myself, but the position I entered the company with was a maintenance scheduler. It was effectively managing the timetable and workload of a team of technicians. You need to be able to manage your own workload and time well, but it's a fairly easy job if you have those skills. The person that took my place on my old team has literally spent office days playing sudoku because he had done his work weeks in advance.

Only time I got to work from home was when I had to quarantine myself due to a family member getting COVID. And even then, it wasn't my usual duties but call center stuff.
