Has anyone been successful in getting a full time remote accommodation approved for either anxiety or ADHD? I'm curious if, with a DR's note stating they should be allowed to work full remote, anyone has actually gotten the RTO exception approved... — read more
Senior Lead Analytic Consultant salary
How does a base of $130k in Denver CO stack up to others with the same title? About right? Too high? Too low?
If you were always remote, what did you decide to do?
I know some were nowhere near an office even before the pandemic. Were you given an exception or did you have to move? I'm going to assume if it was the second option, many have decided to quit instead of relocating. With WFC, you never know if... — read more
Anyone else getting group goals just this week and having to have them entered into the system by Friday?
There's nothing like self-created fire drills.
Popular RTO options
Into week two I'm noticing some trends that I think will continue as long as the "flexible hybrid" model exists. Popular in the office schedules seem to be M/Tu/W, Tu/W/Th, or W/Th/F since each affords 5 consecutive days out of the office... — read more

How much of a paycut would you be willing to accept in order to stay 100% Working From Home?
Thoughts?
Why do people bother submitting Loudspeaker ideas?
I don’t get it. The company wants us to volunteer a bunch of ideas to improve things but only if the suggestions don’t involve reconsidering RTO. They aren’t paying us extra for all these ideas. What’s the story??
Emotional Intelligence is something the leadership of this company will never get.

For those of you who've RTO and whose teams and business partners aren't co-located, how in the heck are you managing lunches?
My team and business partners are not co-located. Finding a time to lunch can be challenging, because since everyone's scattered a common lunch time is impossible. At home I can zip up to the kitchen, grab something or throw something together, and... — read more

How was Monday?
For those who went in, were there more people than last week? I guess there's no way to determine how many are going in without looking at the whole week, but I think it'd still be good to know if this Monday had more or fewer employees show up than... — read more
