[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remote job gone and replaced with 3 hours of commuting (and that’s early, avoiding peak traffic) AWS gone, well fine that wasn’t going to work for me with RTO anyway so I had already ditched that. Now they are talking about rigid start and end times, and if they have everyone coming and going at once 9-5 that is going to add at least another hour at each end just getting in and out of the building and garage and having to travel during peak traffic. and I’m going to just have to tell my teens they are on their own now because I am basically unavailable, and their dad is not in a position to help that much either. I might have to move in with my coworker during the week. Giving boarding school a second thought for my youngest. Maybe sleeping in my car? I don’t know. Sell my house, buy an RV and park next to work.

So what’s coming next? Is there anything they can’t/won’t touch? Health insurance? The ability to take a single day of sick leave without medical documentation?

Just get the RIFs over with please.[/quote]

Op how would you handle this if it were 2019?[/quote]

I’m not sure what you are getting at. In 2019 I worked in an office that was 25 minutes ride by express bus. Since then, I was hired fully remote into another office that is way out. I would never have taken the job if I knew we’d be going in 5 days a week. Hybrid would be doable, sustainable, and keep people connected to the office, but they aren’t allowing it, though most people at my current office were already hybrid before 2019.

There is no time machine back to 2019. Even if I got hired back at my old office, the bus route that made it doable has been eliminated and the commute time much longer.

TLDR Going back to what things were like in 2019 would be great compared with what it’s like now, but that world no longer exists. This is something new and it is doing a great job torturing parents.[/quote]

What hasn't changed is that companies have always had the ability to change working conditions/location based on need.  Employees have always had the ability to say the change doesn't work for them and to find new employement.  OP--if you don't like the changes, it's time to start looking for a new job.  [/quote]

This isn't based on a "need".  It's based on cruelty.  So shut up.[/quote]
