I've worked for companies where it was fine to work from home every Friday or to use your best judgement if you were feeling sick or the weather was bad.

I am at a startup now and while we have unlimited vacation time the general vibe I get is "only work from home when it's absolutely necessary, and even then maybe don't." Surprisingly I liked the policies if past companies more than my current one.

So I'm just curious what your company policy is for working from home?

    Corporate got rid of our offices and made everyone work from home. The catch is we pay for our Internet service on our own... I've been working from home 100% for the past 10 years... it gets lonely...

      eldopa, look into cowork options in your city. it's a way to have an office that is not your house + regular human interaction.

    I switched the other direction toward official sick days and vacation instead of unlimited at a prior start up. Explicitly declaring my first actual sick day off when I was ill felt freeing.

  • Amex policy, WFH when we want, though oddly there are lots of people who barely ever do it. Also sometimes there are managers who are biased against it because they still hang on to the old crappy corporate culture, and thus their teams are punished. But for the most part that trend is dying off.

    1 day per week.
    implementation varies by team - some can do it from day 1, some teams make you wait 6 months before you wfh.
