[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is the reason why everyone is back to the office. Your kids at home is not a reason to work from home. Can’t you see that? Exactly the reason why this didn’t work out. [/quote]

No. If my workday is 7-3:30, and camp (my paid childcare) ends at 4, and I'm the parent who is supposed to pick up on Thursdays given carpool arrangements made weeks in advance, being 2 hours away without much notice is an issue. Being a working parent involves lots of planning ahead, even if your kids aren't home during your workday. Can't you see that? [/quote]

The fact that you live 2 hours away is not your employer's concern.  That was your choice.  You now have to deal with figuring out the logistics.  This is on you. [/quote]

Sure it is. But this is a question of whether it's a good idea for employers to give advanced notice vs effective immediately. Yes, it is.

Also FWIW I lived where I live now when I was hired, don't get paid enough to move closer and wasn't offered relocation $, and stated pretty clearly in the job interview that more than 2 days a week in the office is a deal-breaker for me. My managers were like "oh yeah we're sure telework is here to stay!" They unfortunately aren't the decision makers for policy beyond our division, so if that changes, my choice will be to get another job. I'm already applying for some, just to be safe, as the winds are changing. [/quote]
