Happy new year. At the firm, we’ve decided to open 2021 with some new policies. Support staff will finally be able to work from home one day a week. We’ve been keeping them in the office up to this point as essential workers, since lots of partners still need someone available to print their emails and FedEx the printouts to them at home to read. We’ve done everything we can to protect them throughout the pandemic — we have a mask they’ve all been sharing, and we locked the bathrooms to avoid any chance of viral spread in there — but we’re finally getting around to responding to a list of demands they emailed in March, and we will, in the spirit of accommodation, let them have their one remote day a week. (In an unrelated move, we will also be cutting their salaries by 20%.)
