WFH - if agreed do you insist its in contract?

Cheers all. I'm just concerned about turning up and then no-one bothering to get off their arse to get the remote access sorted.

IMHO once you're there no-ones bothered abotu sorting things like this out.

Stop being timid and waiting or their permission, would an architect turn up at your door every morning waiting for you to tell him to go to his own office to do the project? Tell the agent from the get go and the client at the interview, then just work from home. If they haven't got access sorted that is their problem.

For f***sake you are part of the IT department so if you can't talk to the right people to give you permission then who the hell can?

Must admit I've obviously never worked at any of the places you have where a contractor can come in on day 1 and start authorizing their own things with the client.

I'd say 99.9% of things need a client manager to authorise things. Especially remote access.
