[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue for me is the 8-6 in office requirement.  Right now, I work 8-5, pick up my kids, and then work a few more hours at home in the evening.  Daycare closes at 6 and I have a 45 minute commute, so I'm not sure what I will go if the 8-6 requirement goes into effect.  [/quote]
A mandate that people now have to be in the office for 10 hours a day is not happening. [/quote]

Given that my office is 2 hours away (my job was advertised, and I was hired, fully remote), this actually would make me quit. I'd try to stick out a full RTO with flexible hours.

And yes, OP, for me it's the aftercare. My kids were in day care until elementary and now we just have an after school sitter the one day a week neither of us can make school pickup (husband works in person locally and has a lot of flexibility, I am remote and start my day early). It costs us $200/month. Putting both of my kids in daily aftercare would be over $1200, plus getting to the office costs me $26/day, of which I think commuter benefits would only offset about $130. So we're talking about $1600/month higher cost of RTO. My take home is only about $4000.

Unfortunately I'm the higher earner, so I couldn't quit unless I found a job locally near my MUCH smaller town, or my husband changed to a higher paying career. But yeah, while i paid for 10 years of full time day care, my current life IS set up around being remote, just as my job offer said. This would be a big impact. [/quote]

If you're two hours away and they order you to come in, then you'll need to pay relocation. That might mean a pay increase assuming you're not always in the DC pay locality region.[/quote]
