mmmrrr

The latter is the intended wording: The official company policy is to be at the office by default with the ability to work remotely. Thanks for asking and giving the chance to clarify!

I’ll update the original post to better reflect that.

This might explain why many Edeka people have been on my LinkedIn profile recently

Even though I don’t want to switch, your summary here and the linked description do have different wording around remote work.

Here it reads as if living in Munich and just travel to Hamburg once a quarter for events is fine, while on the linked description, it reads much more as you’ll work in Hamburg, but can do remote work occasionally.

Which of these is actually true?
