I've decided on office on Monday & Tuesday, and WFH rest of the week. So far so good, managers haven't said anything about it.

We're meant to be an in office first place but you can get away with a day a week and maybe a second one here or there

Officially the policy is 3 days office, 2 days WFH. Directors and managers are not enforcing it, cause they know productivity will dip.

I've already said that if I'm forced for the 3rd day, I will work exactly the hours that my contract stipulates, with absolutely 0 additional work when required.

Management appreciate our efforts and won't be pushing the issue.
