Got higher duties at work (yay extra cash).

Tasked with performance managing someone (book extra work).

Good news is that we have a new manager and they've been leaning on me to guide them through what we do and asking for my advice quite a bit. We get on well and think along the same lines.

Bad news is that higher duties kind of require me to be in the office 3 days a week.

More money offsets that though, right?

I'd happily not get paid extra for the extra day that I'm at home.

In the office I get pulled into meetings and catch ups, leaving less time for work. At home I'm actually being productive.

Management still doesn't see that.
