We are expected to work 40-hour weeks every week. However, it is very flexible when/where we complete these hours.
Standard 9-5:30 is manageable. Can leave earlier/later depending on when I arrive.
as long as you work your required hours management doesn't mind if you start early or start later in the day
The WFH-office balance is good, I appreciate the opportunity to work from home a few days a week - it makes popping to the doctors on a lunch break possible, and also helps me when I need to recharge my social batteries. As a neurodivergent person, the opportunity to WFH and 'body double' with my partner when I know I'm struggling with energy/difficult tasks is very helpful, and I appreciate the freedom to manage that myself and WFH when I need to. I do like to come into the office as much as possible generally, as I find it really valuable to talk to people in person and I enjoy the social aspect of being in the office, and I think it would be nice to have a 'team day' or something where most of the team comes into the office so we can meet each other in person. From a general hours perspective, I find the 40h work week very difficult to make it through, and have considered asking to reduce hours but haven't so I don't know how flexible GHD would be with this. I know it's pretty standard, but 8-5 every weekday is very draining and I feel like the weekend is just not enough time to recharge for the next week let alone address other commitments, and quite a few people on the team are working more than that at the moment because of the intense team workload which is putting out a lot of pressure.
