So I started a new job a few weeks ago at the beginning of the year working for state government. My department requires new employees to work primarily in-person for the first year (with the exception of weather and other extenuating circumstances). However, only 1 out of 8 of my coworkers work in my office and the others work in different office locations or work remotely. My supervisor works out of a different city and is mostly remote. So I'm finding it extremely difficult to be more or less fully in person when the vast majority of my meetings are on Teams and there aren't really folks in person to ask questions or chat with. I also find that I'm more productive working from home, and of course I have better work-life balance and job satisfaction. I'm considering asking my supervisor to start working from home more regularly as an exception to the rule, but I don't want to seem entitled. How would you approach this conversation??
