With mandatory days in the office starting on 1/3, today I submitted a request for permanent WFH status. I used
Microsoft Viva's monthly summary stats to reinforce that I don't really collaborate with anyone outside of my manager who works in a different state, so being forced back into the office isn't really going to make a difference for me.
I also casually mentioned that I had actually put in my notice to leave the company before Covid hit, but that WFH has changed my quality of life and has kept me going...
