[quote=Anonymous]How is this fair? And how would you approach it? My company had a very lenient telework policy coming out of the pandemic - basically everyone teleworked 70-80% of the time. During this time, a few employees moved further away from the office, started families, adopted dogs, whatever. Now, since the govt is back in person, our director has made the same rule and everyone within a 50 mile radius has to be in the office 5 days a week. The only exception is telework is allowed if you have a medical appointment or family emergency to deal with. So basically, those folks who moved further away get a sweet deal - full time telework with DC area pay while the rest of us pay DC cost of living to drag ourselves into the office daily. 
Yes, I can find a new job, but really, my question is about equity and fairness. It feels like those who move further away get rewarded. I want to bring this up to my boss. I’m seriously considering uprooting my family just so I can spend more time with the kids instead of on my commute.[/quote]
