[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He lives in the same town as the company. I commute 1 hr 15 minutes each way. And if I don't get there/leave at certain times, it's 2 hrs each way.

Concerned he is going to expect same hours in office as him. Which cannot happen based on balancing family needs. WWYD?[/quote]

Unfortunately I would have gotten the current arrangement in writing from OldBoss. But now I would talk to him and explain the current situation you have, that it works, and ask his thoughts.

If he refuses give it a week. You can handle a shitty life for a week. Then on Friday AM I would go in and say something like “Unfortunately these hours are extremely untenable for me, and if my position has changed to require these hours I will need to give you my two weeks notice. Knowing this, how would you like to proceed?”

But only do that if you’re literally willing to walk over it with zero notice. If you’re not willing to walk and he’s not willing to compromise, then you’re SOL because this is your job now. [/quote]
