Have you past a 5 year milestone (25, 30, 35) since then? Because premiums go up with age of course you pay more. Am I missing something?

I have been self employed for 20 years and my premiums are 4 times what they were 20 years ago.

At the time of the change it would have been age 23 vs 24 so the answer is no.

I’m not sure how you had a different experience with this bc everyone else in my same peer group experienced the same increase.

Okay given your age this makes sense. Thanks.

My company is now officially work from home (except when field work is necessary) until 2021.

Our bank is the same.

[mu_hilltopper]

My company .. really hasn't done anything official.   There's a skeleton crew shipping in the warehouse, everyone else is indefinitely WFH.   

I'm guessing I never go back more than occasionally.

My company just announced a big culling today. I've been through sales layoffs at Groupon and Stericycle years ago but damn when you enjoy what you do and don't have a job that you can replace in a week it's considerably more nerve racking.

Sorry to hear it, best of luck.

This will be the story of the fall/winter with the lack of stimulus from congress. We have a very weak economy right now, so staffing down is the only way to mitigate risk as a business owner.

Just wondering how many people are back in the office and how many people are still work from home.

I will be work at home until at least June 2021 now and I'm guessing it will be longer than that.  I miss interacting with people in the office but am happy to still have a job.  I also appreciate the flexibility working from home offers (was really nice when both my kids' schools switched to virtual for a couple weeks in November) and am happy to not be around a ton of people in an office right now - still  worried about Covid spread.  It will sure be weird to go back in the office eventually though as I will have worked at home for well over a year before I return to the office - let's see if I can still remember my code to get into the building by then .

I go back to work Friday.     Wife is working from home, but once she has her energy and stamina back, she will probably go back into the office.    Probably the week of 12/14.

I spent most of the fall semester in the office.  Back home now until at least February 1.

I don't like working from home for the most part.

Just don't pull a Jeffrey Toobin, hey?

I use traffic as a gauge of how many have returned to the office. I'd say right now, traffic levels are back to over 90% of pre-COVID levels.

[cheebs09]

I won’t be back in for the foreseeable future. Even then, it will probably be a hybrid.

Our department is WFH indefinitely, with talk that people won’t go back on a regular basis until after they get vaccinated. Even when people can go back, my sense is that many will be able to WFH permanently.

And my daughter just told me her office is WFH until at least March 31.

[mu_hilltopper]

We'll now have ~5 people in an office that formerly had 120 .. About 50 are working from home, the rest laid off.   Our lease is up in 1.5 years.

I can very much imagine that we'll shrink to a very small office with a few conference rooms, and all but a handful will work from home.

We had another office in the Chicago area .. it was remodeled a year ago, beautiful cubes, desks, conference rooms, everything top notch.   Now all are working from home, the place is abandoned.  High possibility they'll never go back to that office.

I’ve heard 30-50% reduction in office space is reasonable for a company. 

Personally I don’t think I will work a full week in the ‘office’ for the rest of my career.

Yeah I'm kind of figuring on only returning to the office for maybe 1-2 days a week and working from home most of the time still even when they decide to let people back into the office.  I think a lot is going to be left up to managers and I think in my area we're all very productive working from home and I have a manager who supports that.

And this all reminds me I changed jobs in May internally while working from home and my desk is still in my old area so one of the first things I'll have to do when/if I go back to the office is move .

I’ve been in the office regularly since the summer. I really prefer it. The ideal “new” would be a more condensed day, in the office say 10-4, with calls/emails from home on each side. Would suit me as I do a lot of international touch base when I wake up. I would rather be in the office every day than WFH.

My GF works for commercial real estate fund/firm and has been WFH since May. They were eying a Jan 1 restart in the office in NYC, but given happenings there, they are back 4/1 at the earliest. My youngest sister works for a SEM/digital marketing firm also in NYC. They are indefinitely WFH and likely won’t make a call until next summer.

Our season wrapped up last week and I moved my office home probably until April. Probably go in once a week for printing and pick up all the packages I send to the office.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Been going to the office every day since pandemic began.  Small company and I don't really have a choice since we've asked factory workers to come in the whole time.  I figured not a good look.  Plus I have other duties besides sales that is just way easier to address in the office.
Only our sole finance person has been doing 1-3 days WFH since pandemic began.

[reinko]

WFH since 3/13, in tech sales so really can be done from anywhere.  I think our bosses want folks to be back in the office at least 1x-2x a week after vaccinations are widespread.  About a 1/4 of the company has relocated to different states and leadership has been fine with it, but I think they are trying to clamp down on it since having employees working from 10 different states is a PIA for finance.

[ATL MU Warrior]

Work from home since 2nd week of March. All travel suspended indefinitely.

My client has closed all four of their Regional offices (out of which I worked) so looks like I am permanently WFH.

US HQ for my company is in NY. They have re-opened office on a very limited basis but are not requiring any employees to return. It is purely voluntary. I don’t know a single person on team of about 80 that is going to office. Maybe by next summer.

[Hards Alumni]

Been at work since the start.  WFH isn't really feasible.  That's life.

[Spotcheck Billy]

I've been in the office everyday since this started, owner doesn't allow us to WFH.

[Galway Eagle]

Fortune 500 value added reseller for IT equipment. Some of the sales team has been back in the office. Im in analytics and was already three days at home before this so probably will be on the later end to return. They make the call whether to extend past the new year tomorrow.
