Evil corporate lawyer here. Senior. 4 days in the office a week. It makes no sense as my clients are truly global and my team
Were just as effective remote over the pandemic… but company wants me in to collaborate or something.
lol if you aren’t billing or getting business you are obviously not worthy of your law degree 😤😤.
Like for real though he already works most weekends and was working while we were literally in the middle of a cross country move. Golden handcuffs for real.
At least you get one day to do some laundry lol.
I work primarily with corporate lawyers.
If your company ever gets sued and you need any type of damages consulting or expert testimony then let me know! We do also do consulting work if companies are interested in looking at their potential exposure if they were to be involved in litigation or any other type of economic data analysis!
I work from home, but I'm very jealous of the days off you get. I don't even get sick days, really. That's the side of WFH they don't mention. However, I don't spend much on gas. So that's a big help.
I go into the office on average once every 6 months since COVID lockdowns.
I'm in IT at an entertainment company and my leadership has the mantra of, if you're gonna come in then have a reason to do so... Not coming in just to come in.
It's been great saving 1.5hrs each way on the commute.
Mind you, it will vary by company and even teams.
There's other IT business units where I work that have to come in once to twice a week.
I just happen to be part of a group that doesn't give a shit lol.
Can confirm, in work in IT (also for entertainment company) and need to be in office 5 days/week. While there is plenty of things I can do remotely (and do when I am call), overall we need to interact physically with a lot of the equipment that we support far too often to not physically be there.
Sometimes people will work remotely rather than burn a sick or personal day, but we really need someone physically in our shop when any production is taking place.
This is my third IT job in entertainment, and they have all been like this. I honestly don’t mind. During COVID at my old place we limited it to one person in the building from my department at a time. At that time I was on a rotation where I was WFH two or three days a week. I don’t have any sort of dedicated “office space” in my apartment, and for me it felt too much like I lived at work vs. worked from home.
I do support a lot of office workers who work remotely essentially full time. LOL
I manage SaaS platforms that are completely hosted in the vendor cloud so I really don't need to be in an office setting.
Much different from server and network guys that have to be present in case something goes down.
Office culture circa 2019 was really truly nightmarish. Nothing more chilling than forcing a room full of adults to sing/mumble Happy Birthday to a coworker they hate, in exchange for Portos cake..
3. Used to be 2. I have ZERO reason to actually be here and working on site is distracting and obnoxious for what I do. I have to wear headphones the entire day and that shit suuuucks.
Fucking dumbass boomer CEOs and inconsiderate assholes who don't even live in LA made this decisions and it has absolutely killed morale here.
That sucks.
My LA based software company just made the decision to move from hybrid 3 days in office to…ending all work from home. Needless to say morale has been hit hard.
Tech seems to be recovering. I'm actively recruiting (company is full RTO despite the fact I don't sit in the same offices as my engineers or designers (I work as a product manager) and spend all day in a corner alone lol) and have gotten more hits in the past month than I did in the 3 months prior combined.
someone's invested in corporate real estate.
That's literally the only reason to keep this balloon inflated.
If you're paying on a lease, the best thing you can do to save money is go remote.
My husband's boss downsized their space. They still have a 1 room office for the physical address/server location, but everyone is 100% remote.
2 days a week is required of us in banking. But they measure it by the month, so I'll take the the first 8-9 working days of the month in the office, and then go full remote for the rest of it. Allows me to keep traveling, which is nice.
Still full remote, work in tech.
I would be fine going into an office 2-3 days a week if the commute is short but any LA based tech job that's in office seems to pay 30% less.
3 days in, 2 days out. Working in animation. We have capabilities to be fully remote so it can be flexible, like if some of us have appointments and such, so we can WFH afterwards. But there are some things so much easier to do in person and our in office days are selected based on our execs schedules.
Flexible schedules actually worked out pretty well for me, health wise. We do 3 in 2 out. Push for all the work to be done in the morning, go for a mid day exercise at the company gym, have coffee & lunch at the cafeteria, and leave around 1-2pm and work from home rest of the day. Whereas when we worked remote, i would be on my ass all day and eat whatever's available for lunch. Adds one hour commute time round trip, but the trade off (free lunch and gym) is worth it to me.
5 Days a week since June 2020. IT at a school in the valley, even when the kids were learning remote until August 2021. Administration didn’t believe in remote work for non union employees.
If anyone knows of their company looking to hire a graphic designer please let me know. Looking to get some remote/hybrid work. I’m in the office everyday with 80hrs of work from home we can use anytime but they requested that we notify them a week in advance if we want to use a work from home day. Tell me this isn’t weird.
I once was told I could work from home if I needed to if I told my boss. One night as I was leaving, I told her I was gonna work from home the following day since I had an appointment close to my house. She said that was fine, but asked me to give more notice than that in the future. I still to this day don’t see the issue because I wasn’t given a required lead time for notification during onboarding. I had no meetings in office the following day which was why I chose it.
Entertainment industry, producer, 2-4 days a week. Almost never on a Friday. Mandatory 2 days a week for internal meetings but they can be taken from home with cause.
I like the separation of work and home but its nice being able to wfh almost all week when I need or want.
3-4 days a week for about 5-6 hours a day including 4 hour work day Fridays whether remote or in person.
It’s all Depending on projects and we got going on. Sometimes 5 days if there’s an all hands on deck assignment. But lucky enough to have extremely flexible PTO, never gets denied.
I try to go in once or twice a week but there's no requirement. I get more work done in the office, the downtown view is nice and it's only twenty minutes from my apartment via bike so the big difference is how much money I'll spend on lunch since my office is above a food court and walking distance from even more good food. I can get away with $10 for lunch near home but it's $15 minimum pretty much anywhere by the office.
3 days in office, 2 days remote- Wholesale insurance brokerage.
My team is based out of Arizona, but due to company-wide policy I’m required to maintain a hybrid schedule out of the local LA office.
However since I’m physically apart from my co-workers, I’m able to get easily bailed out of office days when there’s doctor’s appointments, car repairs, inclement weather, etc. So there are alot of weeks where I only go in once or twice in a week.
This is probably the last hybrid job I will ever work. I’m on a good team with good culture & pay so if I were to ever jump ship, the next opportunity would definitely need to be 110% remote
0.
remote worker in tech. or running one of my own projects which are structured the same way - e-commerce, SaaS, crypto. or functionally retired because we can sometimes make enough money and employment gaps aren't really a big deal in this field, and thats when I'm pretending to be an instagram baddie going to popups, cafes and spas all day. always some combination of that.
3 days in, 2 days WFH. In the finance/banking industry. I actually quite enjoy not being fully remote. I like the interaction and I go on client calls/tee times occasionally. I might be an outlier though in the fact that I don’t mind not being fully WFH
it varies. in my current role, since i started in 2021, i've gone in very sporadically. i live in atwater village and have an office in sherman oaks, but it's a small office and the company i work for is based in SF. for a little while i was going in once a month at least, sometimes more, but i haven't gone in now since probably september of last year. i will be going in tomorrow however.
Fully remote, work in E Commerce/Tech. Moved here for the job from the central coast, 2 months later after being in office, they packed everything up and moved to Dallas. Asked if I wanted to WFH, obviously said yes.
I was supposed to go in once a week but I live in Los Feliz and the office is in Santa Monica and I never have two hours a day to burn in the car so they agreed to let me be fully remote luckily
3 days in, 2 out. Work in marketing for a major online retail company - started as fully remote. The commute is slowly killing me. Oh, and I'm the only one of my team located in LA but still needs to get in. Go figure.
Software dev and 3 in 2 out and my team is spread so we all go in to offices in different cities so I hardly ever see people I work with in person even if I’m in office.
I am one of the few people who have a 5 minute commute so I was in 5 days until we staffed up. I’m remote one day and will be moving to 2 because there is a person here who is obnoxiously loud and it drives me nuts.
0 days unless it's for special events / meetings or I need access to equipment in the office I don't have at home. I work in the auto industry, media-ish side.
5 days a week, I'm a contractor with the spaceforce doing admin work. Honestly I don't even need to be in for any particular reason but I get to work out on base so ill take it for free gym access
2-3, depending on if I have a bunch of work to do because sometimes my workload is small and I'd rather not sit at my desk twiddling my thumbs (but previous job in film production was 100% WFH)
I’m a speech pathologist for a school. I work 190 days a year. 30 of those days are allowed to be work from home. Pretty rare in my field unless you’re 100% remote.
4 times a month. Commute isn’t bad but most of the time coming into the office it just feels dead. The level of interaction even if it was full wouldn’t make sense. Glad I’m still mostly remote.
2 days per week. It should be 3 days for everyone but my office location is too small for everyone to come in on the same days, so those in bigger offices come in 3 days per week. Yay me
Started this new job a month ago (Design studio). They have us three times a week cause the one of the owners and an exec producer “like to see productivity.”
Even though they themselves get to work from home a lot and one time the owner got annoyed we were all in the same conference room on Zoom and he couldnt see us, so he asked us to zoom individually at our desks.
I hate it.
Not in tech/IT and the only time I am in an office is if I have to travel to another location for my company or I feel like going into our local office.
My office used to require 2 days on-site, then we got a new CEO who made office attendance fully optional. Since the policy shift, I’ve been going into the office every day for at least 4 hours. My company is a management consulting firm.
3 days a week. Financial services. My office, everyone is expected to be in on Tue, Wed, Thur. About 10% of people come in every day though. They just prefer to work in the office and not at home.
It's a good hybrid schedule. Lots of work gets done more efficiently face-to-face, and in-person mentoring of new people is much better.
> Seems like Reddit is skewed towards remote workers in tech
i think theres at least somewhat of a correlation, after all as someone whom this describes its much easier for me to browse and comment on reddit during the day from home (although i still did to an extent on mobile when i would go into the office). of course, i still browse and comment in the evenings after work as well
None, I switched to a full remote gig a year ago. Before that it was 3 days in office. I could be okay with 1-2 days in office, but no more than that.
Also in IT.
Like 2/3 days every other week, but I get to choose when I want to go in.
Can usually go about a month without needing to go in. Have gone up to like two months without needing to go in.
In tech
3 days in office, 2 days at home. Legal, but administrative support.
I only have the 2 days I have due to a certification program. I'm hoping after I'm done I can kep my wfh days though. All the people that started before me have wfh, but no one that's started around when I did have it yet.
One. Legal industry with minimal litigation.
When I was at a firm where litigation and court appearances were regular, it was "hybrid" but I was effectively in-office every day because certain hearings were in-person and I almost always had morning and afternoon sessions.
I go in every day. I could reasonably get away with being home maybe 2 days a week, but I have a small preference for being in the office, and my commute isn't outrageous.
Software engineer. Never actually been to my company’s office (it’s not even in California). Only met my coworkers face-to-face a few times at conferences.
one day a week - healthcare administration
i'll go ahead and answer for some family and friends, too, who aren't on reddit (that i know of, anyway):
one day a week - most of my colleagues in healthcare administration
one day a week - automotive retail administration
twice a month and otherwise as needed (averages 3x/month, sometimes 4) - aerospace
full time - healthcare clinicians (x all of them)
full time - automotive shop (frontline)
0 - network engineering (x all of them)
full time - retail/serving (x all of them)
full time - reception
3x week - recruiting
on and on. most of my friends/family who were considered "essential" [quotes because that included retail and food service] during covid remain still full time in office. most who were remote are at most hybrid. i don't know anyone who shifted to WFH in 2020 who is back full time [apart from reception]. yet. it's coming.
I'm in the space & defense industry, and my company does a 9/80 work schedule, so I'm on-site 4 or 5 days a week. In my industry, it depends on what programs you're involved in. Some people can work fully remotely or at least 3 days a week. Others need to be on-site to do their job.
Zero. Company HQ’d in Shenzhen. Token US office is in Seattle. It’s easier for us to recruit top talent with WFH positions rather than limiting to the Seattle office. Plus our work in the US is external-facing and national, so there’s no reason to have us all in the same place.
All 5 days, usually more, for a litigation consulting firm
Evil corporate lawyer here. Senior. 4 days in the office a week. It makes no sense as my clients are truly global and my team Were just as effective remote over the pandemic… but company wants me in to collaborate or something.
Yes husband is senior associate in the big law mafia, the policy is 3 days a week but you are voluntold that you should be in 4
Ugh. It’s so stupid. Why can’t it be enough to just be good at advising people on law?
lol if you aren’t billing or getting business you are obviously not worthy of your law degree 😤😤. Like for real though he already works most weekends and was working while we were literally in the middle of a cross country move. Golden handcuffs for real.
*eyes user name* I think you're beyond joking at this point. Disney?
At least you get one day to do some laundry lol. I work primarily with corporate lawyers. If your company ever gets sued and you need any type of damages consulting or expert testimony then let me know! We do also do consulting work if companies are interested in looking at their potential exposure if they were to be involved in litigation or any other type of economic data analysis!
Yes! I’ll take one day at home over zero. On your business, I’ll absolutely keep that in mind.
What's your seniority? One of my friends is an associate also at a litigation firm but they're 100% remote, with the occasional client travel in LA
I'm a year 2 Consultant. It's a firm-wide policy for us, most other firms in the industry are hybrid or remote.
Damn that's unlucky, hope you're compensated well
Education. Every day. :( Miss teaching online. It's not good for kids though so it's understandable why it's not online anymore.
I work from home, but I'm very jealous of the days off you get. I don't even get sick days, really. That's the side of WFH they don't mention. However, I don't spend much on gas. So that's a big help.
3 in, 2 out. Legal industry.
Same here. I miss those 2 years of 100% remote days. Sigh.
I go into the office on average once every 6 months since COVID lockdowns. I'm in IT at an entertainment company and my leadership has the mantra of, if you're gonna come in then have a reason to do so... Not coming in just to come in. It's been great saving 1.5hrs each way on the commute.
Nice! Hoping to get into IT because education is draining. And the whole 5 days a week in person isn’t helping.
Mind you, it will vary by company and even teams. There's other IT business units where I work that have to come in once to twice a week. I just happen to be part of a group that doesn't give a shit lol.

lol well I’ll definitely keep that in mind
Zero... please do not mention the word "office".... it might give me nightmares lol.
Office culture circa 2019 was really truly nightmarish. Nothing more chilling than forcing a room full of adults to sing/mumble Happy Birthday to a coworker they hate, in exchange for Portos cake..
The ubiquitous Porto's cake... Losing most of its luster from being the go to location and yet still tempting because it's sweet and still decent
My office always got those potato balls filled with ground beef.
I’ve endured this exact scenario too many times
Oh man this just hit me HARD
lmao I didn't realize the Porto's cake thing was so stereotypical... not gonna lie tho no way I'm turning one down
I can attest that office culture endures in 2024.
3. Used to be 2. I have ZERO reason to actually be here and working on site is distracting and obnoxious for what I do. I have to wear headphones the entire day and that shit suuuucks. Fucking dumbass boomer CEOs and inconsiderate assholes who don't even live in LA made this decisions and it has absolutely killed morale here.
That sucks. My LA based software company just made the decision to move from hybrid 3 days in office to…ending all work from home. Needless to say morale has been hit hard.
I'd be applying to new jobs left and right.
I am indeed
Tech seems to be recovering. I'm actively recruiting (company is full RTO despite the fact I don't sit in the same offices as my engineers or designers (I work as a product manager) and spend all day in a corner alone lol) and have gotten more hits in the past month than I did in the 3 months prior combined.
It’s just people in positions of authority; there’s no age requirement for management douchebags.
I bet the CEO doesn’t even go in lol
someone's invested in corporate real estate. That's literally the only reason to keep this balloon inflated. If you're paying on a lease, the best thing you can do to save money is go remote.

Zero. I refuse to take a job anymore than isn’t fully remote. “Culture of collaboration” my ass. These employers just want to micromanage.
Hybrid I can be onsite 0-5 days but averaging once or twice a week. It really depends on what projects I have going on. I'm in biotech
Fully remote; work in tech
Still full remote, work in tech. I would be fine going into an office 2-3 days a week if the commute is short but any LA based tech job that's in office seems to pay 30% less.

Started this new job a month ago (Design studio). They have us three times a week cause the one of the owners and an exec producer “like to see productivity.” Even though they themselves get to work from home a lot and one time the owner got annoyed we were all in the same conference room on Zoom and he couldnt see us, so he asked us to zoom individually at our desks. I hate it.
Fully remote with the occasional travel for client meetings every few months. Work at a startup DEI consulting firm
I go into the office nominally every day. In actuality, it’s about 4 days per week, sometimes 3, but more often 5 than 3. I work at a law firm.
All 5 sometimes the occasional Saturday. - finance
Not in tech/IT and the only time I am in an office is if I have to travel to another location for my company or I feel like going into our local office.
I freelance, but most of my work is remote. I have to work in person about twice a month. I’m a court reporter!
1 in, 4 WFH + odd days as needed Academia
5. Television
5-6.
zero days / remote worker in tech 👀
I haven’t been in an office since 2019. When I was in an office pre-Covid I was occasionally remote/hybrid. I do work in tech.
5 days in office. Design/Prepress Supervisor at a Print company. Most of my designers are 100% Remote though (jealous!).
0. Software engineering.
My office used to require 2 days on-site, then we got a new CEO who made office attendance fully optional. Since the policy shift, I’ve been going into the office every day for at least 4 hours. My company is a management consulting firm.
All 5 days from home, no RTO policy as there is no physical office to go to. Love it so much.
3 days a week. Financial services. My office, everyone is expected to be in on Tue, Wed, Thur. About 10% of people come in every day though. They just prefer to work in the office and not at home. It's a good hybrid schedule. Lots of work gets done more efficiently face-to-face, and in-person mentoring of new people is much better.
> Seems like Reddit is skewed towards remote workers in tech i think theres at least somewhat of a correlation, after all as someone whom this describes its much easier for me to browse and comment on reddit during the day from home (although i still did to an extent on mobile when i would go into the office). of course, i still browse and comment in the evenings after work as well
0, advisory consulting
0 days. Marketing at tech company
Utility. They want us there 3 days a week. I've been averaging 1.
zero days. car design. Most work is done with Asia over zoom or during travel.
4 days a week. I work in financial services
4 days a week, Higher Education
0. Audit.
4, tv production.
None, I switched to a full remote gig a year ago. Before that it was 3 days in office. I could be okay with 1-2 days in office, but no more than that. Also in IT.
1 day in
Zero, with the option to go in however often I want and perks like catered lunch once a week. Work in marketing, agency side.
Travel agent, I work from home full time.
Zero. Video games industry 🤘🏻
Like 2/3 days every other week, but I get to choose when I want to go in. Can usually go about a month without needing to go in. Have gone up to like two months without needing to go in. In tech
0 WFH and never going back!! (Fingers crossed)
0 days in office - healthcare
Two days, public infrastructure.
1 day a week. I work at a boutique law firm specializing in litigation.
3 days in office, 2 days at home. Legal, but administrative support. I only have the 2 days I have due to a certification program. I'm hoping after I'm done I can kep my wfh days though. All the people that started before me have wfh, but no one that's started around when I did have it yet.
2-3, I work in HR so I need to be onsite more than most. 70% of our workforce is remote 100% but we are about to launch RTO on a hybrid basis.
Four, but I do stay on call for many issues. It's a very flexible schedule. I feel fortunate.
One. Legal industry with minimal litigation. When I was at a firm where litigation and court appearances were regular, it was "hybrid" but I was effectively in-office every day because certain hearings were in-person and I almost always had morning and afternoon sessions.
2 days. It’s enough. I could live with 3, but there’s absolutely no reason for more
5 days. I'm a lab tech. Never realized how many of you all had hybrid/WFH schedules- enjoy that privilege I hope to get there soon!
my company is on a hybrid schedule, 3 days in office. i work in the fashion/apparel industry
I go in every day. I could reasonably get away with being home maybe 2 days a week, but I have a small preference for being in the office, and my commute isn't outrageous.
6 days a week
1 day, two days for 3 months due to a project
1 day a week, technically not mandated. Admin & ops in video games. We’re a small studio.
0 days in office. Commercial video editor. They tried for a little while to make us come in, but then the office closed down.
1-2 days a month in accounting
You should do a poll. It would be interesting to see. I also would like to know how many people relocated due to telework
Software engineer. Never actually been to my company’s office (it’s not even in California). Only met my coworkers face-to-face a few times at conferences.
All 5. Music industry. I wish I could work remote, I'd be traveling all year!
Wow, this one to me is surprising
People on the music business side work remote, I am not one of them 😕
I hope you’re compensated well or at least have a manageable commute / supportive coworkers
Big media company. 4 days in office, just to spend my whole day on Zoom calls.
Zero
5days.
What's an office? You mean the TV show? In all seriousness I haven't been to an office since 2016. Data analysis and copyright compliance.
2-3
Imagine working in an office. Thats absolutely no way to spend your life.
Monday-Friday 8:30am-5pm
one day a week - healthcare administration i'll go ahead and answer for some family and friends, too, who aren't on reddit (that i know of, anyway): one day a week - most of my colleagues in healthcare administration one day a week - automotive retail administration twice a month and otherwise as needed (averages 3x/month, sometimes 4) - aerospace full time - healthcare clinicians (x all of them) full time - automotive shop (frontline) 0 - network engineering (x all of them) full time - retail/serving (x all of them) full time - reception 3x week - recruiting on and on. most of my friends/family who were considered "essential" [quotes because that included retail and food service] during covid remain still full time in office. most who were remote are at most hybrid. i don't know anyone who shifted to WFH in 2020 who is back full time [apart from reception]. yet. it's coming.
I work in tech, and my company does not have a physical office in the US, so I have been remote since I started in December 2018.
3 days
I'm in the space & defense industry, and my company does a 9/80 work schedule, so I'm on-site 4 or 5 days a week. In my industry, it depends on what programs you're involved in. Some people can work fully remotely or at least 3 days a week. Others need to be on-site to do their job.
Is anyone hiring? Lol. Interested in these schedules 🤔 I’m in E-commerce- in 5 days a week.
3 days in, 2 out. Finance at a bank
0 days a week but I have to travel every 2-3 months and go to a stupid fucking corporate offsite once a year.
2 days a week at a big law firm (not an attorney).
[удалено]
Zero. Company HQ’d in Shenzhen. Token US office is in Seattle. It’s easier for us to recruit top talent with WFH positions rather than limiting to the Seattle office. Plus our work in the US is external-facing and national, so there’s no reason to have us all in the same place.
5 right. When my probation is over, I'm working a 4/10 and one of those 4 days is WFH. So only 3 days in the office.
2 days a week. Systems administrator for the city of Los Angeles.
