What’s the situation? When are Bloomberg employees expected to return to the office? Also what’s the WFH policy? Fairly allowed and accepted or nah?
@evalseasion I doubt that, particularly in eng. I think the hybrid model is here to stay for all reasonable performing developers (ie not on pip). Vlad has said that new normal won’t be the old normal. It’s like back in the day we had a no laptop policy and we had to adapt. We will have to adapt to letting folks work 1-2 days a week from home. I hope that across the tech industry Friday is going to be a wfh day [this ones a personal wish of mine :)]
Bloomberg asked senior managers to return to office (3days per week) by April, middle management has to return to office by May (also 3 day p/w minimum) and sales force has been asked to consider coming back by June.
I wonder if they’d allow this hybrid model going forward e.g. 3-4 days/week in office and 1-2 days/week WFH
Will depend on a department- analytics and sales divisions most likely will revert to full 5 days in the office model by 2022. Mike is not a fan of WFH model for client facing teams, he always emphasized (pre-COVID) about importance of being in the office. Can’t speak for Engineering and data.
Can any tell me what wfh benefits they give new hires? Do we get a chair/ table or stipend to wfh?
Engineer here, haven't been given an official date but there's a lot of return to office 'propaganda' about how great it is via newsletters and such. Wfh policy going forward is probably going to be up to managers. Nobody is going to be fully remote.
Thank you! I’d be fairly happy with a hybrid model tbh, maybe 1-2 days WFH and the rest in office but I am aware that BBG is a bit more conservative when it comes to WFH.
Too bad. I'm sure some people will leave because of no fully remote option.
