Be vocal about why you need to WFH particular days will help, but try not to do it more than the permies it is a minefieldSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

Its a hell of a trek every day /stay over so even one day where Im home and/or not got massive commute would make a difference. Family situation also makes things difficult.
But even the permies can rarely swing it due to one hard ass manager. Although the senior guy is happy, the fella in between is dead against and hes tends not to overrule him.
Been there a while so they know I know my tulip and dont take the piss. How to politely tell them, yeh I want to stay but only if you agree to this WFH idea one day per week....
Don;t really want to come on too strong and demand it....I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

I just started a new contract far away from home and negotiated a late start on a Monday and wfh on a Friday. I didn't think they'd agree, but they did. I was prepared to let it go though, had they not agreed.Comment

I was asked to renew, told them I liked the job but the commute was a killer, so I said I'll renew for a month (since the project release date was pushed back a month) but after that I can't stay anymore without remote working.
I mentioned it once when I joined, and they said nope impossible. After a month when they appreciated my value and I explained, they tried quite hard to see if they could do it, but it wasn't possible.
It probably depends on your value and if their infrastructure will support it.Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
