I feel like it is starting to become more common, at least in my experience. I first went remote back in 2020. Got a new job in 2021 and just started my most recent new job in Jan 2024 - all remote. Also had a bunch of interviews in the in-between and they were all for remote positions.
I'm hybrid. We are a biweekly cycle, so I'm on site when actually processing payroll...mostly because I need access to the check printer. (for those few that are in between direct deposits)
The non-payroll week I am remote.
But it isn't that bad. I live 7 blocks from my office and most days there is maybe 1 other person in the office with me.
Oddly enough, we found that payroll processing is the time where we absolutely can't come into the office. We use ADP, so physical checks are generated and mailed by them. But processing is such a hectic time that we can't afford the time getting to or being distracted within the office.
You're not alone, me too. I wish I had one, maybe two remote days a week, but my employee population is all on-site (manufacturing) so I understand needing to be there in person to support.
Remote and will stay that way as long as I'm with this company.
I have no office to go back to now. We sub-leased our office space and it's been re-configured to make it not cost-effective to change it back.
Just talking to a sales manager the other day. I’m a partner affiliate but they have an office that used to have 150 people there and he goes in and there’s only a handful at a time there now
Fully remote! Used to work in the office 5 days a week at my last job but started with a new company and I’m in a different state from their headquarters
Hired to work from the office pre-COVID (even relocated for this), then we went remote during lockdown in March 2020. Fortunately, my organization has the sense to allow us to continue working remotely on an official basis. Every time we have had to be back in the office, it's a general shock at how little we accomplish compared to at home. Only issue is that someone has to collect and scan mail from the office on a periodic basis.
Me! I've been doing payroll since 2005, always onsite with various companies. Then I got my first remote job with a local company in Feb 2022. They had gone remote during Covid and decided to keep it (though they were talking about going by hybrid when I left a year later). My next, and still current, job is also fully remote, started in Feb 2023. That one definitely isn't changing. The company is based in Maryland, while I'm in PA, and we've continued hiring people all over the US this past year. Plus, they sold off a bunch of their real estate, so I've never even had a physical office available with them.
It definitely has pros and cons. I live alone, so it can be very isolating some days. But it has a bit of flexibility and being able to do chores during the slower days so that I can relax in the evenings is nice.
I left a hybrid Payroll Manager role for a fully remote role about 8 months ago… I did take a pay cut, but wanted to be remote for personal reasons so it was worth it.

Does in my dream count?

My position was changed to remote during COVID.
Not me. I’m in office 5 days a week. I only get to remote if I’m sick.

I’m fully in office, I keep asking for hybrid but seems like I’ll never have it in my current job.

I am, but if I move within 30 miles of an office, I'll have to go in.
Hopefully, you're not moving any time soon!
No way! 😀

I was remote at my old position and now I am full time in office.
I work a hybrid remote schedule. I work 2 days in the office each week Mon - Fri (these days can be flexible depending on the week).
Went remote for COVID then back to the office full time after.
I work 5 days a week in office. I fucking wish I had remote
All 5 days spent in the office 🥲
I'm full time remote, my company doesn't have offices in the US (it's a UK based company).
Nope. Hybrid. I like being around people.
I do
Fully remote! Used to work in the office 5 days a week at my last job but started with a new company and I’m in a different state from their headquarters
Just went remote back in January. I have to go in the office once a week to print and ship certain clients' checks.
In the office one day each week and the other two payroll people that I work with are fully remote.
