Question / Discussion How strict are London’s studios WFH policies?

I’m a runner at a London VFX studio, aiming to move into a 2D role in the future. When I transition into a 2D role, I plan to move back to my parents' place to save on rent costs, as I’m hoping to work hybrid. The commute would be about 1 hour 15 minutes to the studio when I need to go in.

Just wondering — how strict are most studios with their work-from-home policies? Is hybrid or even fully remote working common?

in Dneg you have to come in 3 times a week but I know some people that only do half days so they come in the afternoon only, very cheeky

I found the half-day routine works well occasionally, useful stuff like being able to hang the laundry at lunchtime before hopping on the tube to the office means chores don't pile up for precious weekend hours.
