I am about to sign an offer for a new job. We talked about working remote a fraction of the time and that some employees do it.
However, the contract does not specify mention it. It is a smaller company so things migh work a bit more informal.
Are you in the US, and is this an actual employment contract or just an offer letter (are there specific terms or guarantees of employment, like a guarantee that you will be paid for some long period of time absent certain causes of termination)?<p>Employment contracts for non-executive positions in the US are pretty rare, but hey.<p>(My advice is only valid in the US, where at-will employment is the standard)<p>If it is just an offer letter, I would say that you should mention (email is best because it's written) to your recruiting contact and your hiring manager that you'd discussed hybrid-remote working and just wanted to make sure you understood expectations properly, since they weren't in the letter, and then when they reiterate your understanding, thank them and sign (if that's your last pending concern).<p>There is basically no incentive for them to hire you on that kind of false pretenses, because you'll be angry and if you don't suck you'll probably end up quitting early over it, and if they want you gone, you're at-will anyway.<p>If you have an actual contract, then you have a contract and get it in writing or accept that they could change their mind and use it as an excuse to end the contract early if they chose.
