If you have to relocate to the new building, make sure you get a windowed office. Yer a VP fer cryin' out loud!
Due to Covid-19 the trend is working from home. Employees might get a choice of relocating or working from home.
Because of current conditions in NYC r.e. the drop in rent for a NY office will cover the cost of the Jersey office.
I appreciate the thought but I don’t see myself ever leaving New York. QUOTE="FSU, post: 5363808, member: 196354"]Come on out to Chicago Bob! You can run their office here. I will even buy you lunch every month.[/QUOTE]
