Employees are encouraged to come into the office for key meetings, at their manager’s request, and for engagement events (outlined in Handbook). We are headquartered in PA, and the majority of our workforce lives in the Eastern Standard time zone. We require that employees, wherever they may live, be available during East Coast business hours as their standard business day.
physical requirements—how hard can it be?
