In the before times, WFH was death for career advancement. If you don’t get face time with other managers and your director then you’re not going anywhere. In the new world whether it is or isn’t depends on company culture and what you do.

Now for the effort post: how do you get promoted, and how is that affected by wfh? You get promoted by 1. Already performing at the next level in your career 2. Making sure the relevant people see you doing this If you’re just starting, this is easy. Tell your immediate boss what you’re doing, how you’re doing it, what you’ve learned, etc. They should recognize your status and bump you up as necessary. If you’re farther in your career, this means expanding the scope of the impact of your work. Instead of just working in your group, you work with other groups. Or other divisions. You make decisions or take actions that affect bigger projects and more people. You materially affect how much money the company is earning or how work gets done. You do this without being explicitly told to do it. And as you’re doing this, you’re continually doing what you need to do to make sure your bosses, and the other managers, and everyone else along the line sees you doing it and knows you’re in there. So, wfh? In some companies this is as easy as if you were on site. In others this is impossible. And it depends on your communication skills. Just like talking people up in person, you can talk to them over email and slack and zoom, and in meetings. You don’t have to kiss rear end, but you do have to give them the impression that you’re valuable and you’re helping their group or the company meet its goals. This may actually be easier if you’re not great at in-person meetings. Your biggest problem is that there are people who are coming into the office that may also be angling for promotion. Depending on the types of managers they are working, this may be an advantage for them. On the other hand, if you’re not as good at social stuff as they are, this may be a boost for you

Make an ai-generated sexy lady and pretend it’s you, get hired with it, make all your coworkers think you’re a sexy woman, talk suggestively to your bosses, send them nudes, threaten to send their wives a copy of your conversations if they don’t give you a promotion.
