I’ve been in my new position for 30 days and I want to do a performance review with my manager (not required for the company just want to do it for myself). One of the main questions I want to ask is abt me working from home (since it was stated to me during my offer - training in the office then work remote) - how should I go about asking this question? Also what other questions would you ask?

Was it outlined in your offer? Even if it isn't in writing, you could broach the topic by asking for a one on one meeting to discuss how the first month has gone. At that meeting, don't focus solely on the working from home portion. Instead, focus on what you think is going well. what you may still need assistance with, what you'd like to try to work on next and listen to your supervisor's feedback. Ask what they think is going well, what you may still need to work on and what is next for you. Let the topic of working from home come up naturally (meaning direct the conversation to that end by emphasizing your self motivation, independance, past project success, etc.).

Love this question! Weave the WFH question into a broader dialogue, including other questions like...How can we best communicate? What am I already demonstrating that I am doing well? What can I work on? How are others receiving me and how can I best collaborate? Now that I am here, what have you realized I need to learn/gain exposure to? Now that I am here, who else should I meet? ...Just a few ideas. Can't wait to see what others have to share!
