Dear PoPville

“For those DC folks that have jobs that lend themselves well to remote work, has your office said how long you can expect to work from home until?”

“Dear PoPville,

For those who started working from home in DC because of the pandemic, I was wondering if folks could share what their offices have said/not said about how long employees can expect to work from home. For example, I know people who work for various types of organizations (big law firms, medium-sized and small-sized nonprofits, large for-profits) who have been told they should expect to work from home until at least January 2021. Meanwhile, my office has allowed employees to work from home since mid-March and has announced continuation of this work-from-home policy with advance notice anywhere from a 2-week to 2-month basis (so, for example, my work announced in early August that we can expect to work from home till at least mid-September, and we’ll probably get another update in early September about whether and how long this policy will be extended again). I was wondering what other organizations in DC have been doing.
